In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Hi Erica,
Thanks for your email - we are very happy with Keith. Both Caleb and Elijah have settled well with him.
Everything is going well so far. The tutoring has been working well. Jamie seems to connect with Kevin. We are away next week but hopefully I can keep the momentum up with Jamie!
I have been extremely pleased with our ezymath tutor, Lawrence. Apparently "he knows everything about maths". He has worked diligently and patiently with my daughter and has managed to keep her focused throughout each lesson. I also found the reports he provided about her progress detailed and considered and very helpful in providing feedback about her strengths, gaps and progress.
I found ezymath tutoring very professional and easy to deal with. There were no contracts, which makes it very flexible, the price was reasonable and the tutor came to our house. They provided a tutor who was current with the HSC curriculum and very knowledgeable about his subject. The feedback reports that were provided at the end of each term were very detailed about all areas of the learning - both the positive and the areas she needed to work on.
I would definitely recommend ezymath tutoring to other parents - it has been a very positive experience....
