When I was at school, my favourite teachers were always the relatable ones who were genuinely interested in me, my hobbies and my life. This connection is important for many reasons, not only to be a good tutor but to also be a confidant in times of crisis. In the past I have worked with children who had special needs. Being close to the student…

As tutors, we should provide a safe space for students that would make them realise that it is okay to make a mistake. Next, we should also make students feel that they can achieve their academic goals. Continuously giving them positive feedback is helpful as well because it would motivate them to work harder. And lastly, as tutors, we should…

Gabriel was extremely helpful as a tutor and was very keen on building skills and encouraging improvement with my brother. He was always actively engaged with Soobaan and I would keep him in mind for tutoring in future.

Inside PenrithTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Daniel worked through calculus differentiation, focusing on applying the chain rule and product rule to a range of function types.

For Year 10, Jessica practised solving simultaneous equations and explored how bearings relate to trigonometry using real-world navigation examples.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Liam reviewed patterns and sequences within selective school exam practice papers, identifying number rules and extending simple patterns.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with homework completion in calculus, leading to gaps when applying differentiation rules and missing out on valuable feedback—"Homework was uncompleted, and should be paid more attention to within the near future."

In Year 12 Chemistry, one student's tendency to get hung up on mistakes visibly shook her confidence during balancing equations; as a tutor observed, "she gets hung up on mistakes, which greatly affects her confidence if she makes a mistake."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner repeatedly misread multi-step probability questions by skimming for keywords instead of highlighting details. This habit led to repeated small errors and wasted exam time hunting for corrections.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Penrith noticed Samantha, a Year 12 chemistry student, now confidently tackles long response questions by breaking them down herself and applying her titration knowledge—something she hesitated with previously.

Max, in Year 10, recently started using opposite operations to solve algebraic expressions and expanded brackets independently, showing much more initiative during problem-solving than before.

Meanwhile, Raessah (Year 3) surprised her tutor by planning out her extended writing pieces and skimming texts for main ideas on her own instead of waiting for guidance; she also used physical money to work out change without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I just wanted to say thank you, Ruhail is a very pleasant young man, and show a very professional manor approach with Tutoring Stephanie. Stephanie is also impressed and when I have questioned her how she is finding Ruhail and the Tutoring, her comments were all pleasant. She said Ruhail is very nice and explains maths in more simple terms, making her understand Maths easier. She compares Ruhail to the teacher at school and can't understand why she is left dumb-founded in the classroom yet her Tuition makes much more sense and understands the topic/task clearer. So far we are both impressed with Ruhail and his tutoring.

Working with Ezy Math tutoring has been an excellent learning opportunity due to the amount of time and energy the company invests into ensuring you can improve as a tutor. I highly recommend EzyMath Tutoring to any tutors who are actively seeking to improve their tutoring skills.

Things are going very well at the moment. Much of the use Max is getting out of it is that there is time to ask questions and have detailed explanation of concepts. This is what he felt he was denied in class and was causing some degree of anxiety on his part. Brigit appears to be a good tutor for him as it is always important that he likes the person he is dealing with especially when it is in a subject area which isn't the main focus of his primary interest or ability.

English tutoring in Penrith

Unfortunately not every school teacher is a good match for every student. Often the student might develop the sense that they are not smart because they don't understand their teacher's approach, but often it's just a bad match. No teacher is a perfect teacher for every single student, especially students who might need a tailored approach. A private English tutor can help.

It's truly incredible the way in which one explanation creates that "aha" moment whereas another creates confusion. Our service is all about finding you the "right" tutor, not the "best" tutor. A local Penrith English tutor will not only connect well with your child but they will be able to offer explanations in such a manner that your child just "gets it". This is what we do.

English Tutor Penrith

Our offer is quite simple. We will find you an English tutor in Penrith. They will come to your home at a time of your choosing. They will come as often or as little as you decide. They will tailor the lessons to your child's specific needs. Best of all, if you think the tutor is not the "right" fit, we'll organise another tutor free of charge.

We want you to be a raving fan of your tutor. That's our Good-Fit guarantee.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Penrith City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Nicholas of Myra Primary School.
