To teach them to think intensively and critically so that they can learn independently in the future.

That experience will allow me to relate to the person I am tutoring, which will create a better learning experience for the…

I believe helping the student understand in their own way and time is the most important thing for them.

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to relieve stress and to confirm to the student that their understanding of concepts is correct. By this i mean in my personal experience a lot of what i needed from my own tutors was for them to confirm that what i thought was correct was or not. I believe my strengths also…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to set up reachable and positive expectations for individual students. No two students learn the same, so it is important to cater for the individuals learning needs whether they need concrete materials, whiteboards, etc. As I am still relatively young, and work in a low socio…

Inside PurgaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Emily worked through long division with decimals and tackled multi-step word problems, including using trial and error to solve simultaneous equations.

For Year 9, Luke focused on graphing linear equations and practiced finding the point of intersection between two lines, as well as determining when lines are parallel using graphing techniques.

In Year 10, Jasmine completed work on solving quadratic equations with the quadratic formula and plotted cubic functions to deepen understanding of more complex algebraic graphs.

Recent Challenges

Messy or unclear written work was a recurring challenge across several years. In Year 9, "probability trees became difficult to read" due to layout issues, while in Year 11, a student's algebra working lacked structure, making it hard to follow their logic.

One Year 8 student often left parts of assignments at school—"Nick left some of his assignment at school"—causing gaps in revision and rushed last-minute catch-ups.

For another senior student, incomplete homework and skipping notes meant weaker recall for exam topics like trigonometry degrees; as one tutor noted, "notes need to be written about every class." This disorganization often led to time lost re-learning instead of advancing.

Recent Achievements

One Purga tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who now comes to sessions with homework already completed and questions ready—she used to wait passively for help, but now takes real initiative.

A Year 11 student, after struggling to keep her notes organised and recall concepts, has started double-checking her work for errors during lessons and is much more willing to ask about things she doesn't understand on her own.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who was previously hesitant with fractions managed to finish all fraction problems on the worksheet without skipping any or giving up.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I came to Ezy Math tutoring honestly because tutoring seemed like the best thing that would fit into my timetable. What I didn't expect was how much I would enjoy teaching the students. I found myself excited to come to tutoring, committed to doing all the prep work and checking up on my students before and after a big exam. I'm not gonna lie, its a lot of work but with even more reward as you see the students you're teaching slowly start to understand and apply their content. I felt my greatest achievement was taking a 60% achieving student in the second year 10 maths class and encouraging and working with him until he was hitting mid-90s marks and had been accepted into ext 1 maths for this year. I'm sad to leave Ezy math because I really enjoyed tutoring but I Would definitely recommend it to anyone. The support at Ezy math was the best. Even though I never met a staff member I felt they were great at checking up on me and helping me when I needed it!

My biggest accomplishment while working with EzyMath was learning how to organise myself more effectively and juggle multiple jobs at a time, which has turned out to be a very useful skill. Why I came to work for EzyMath was because I wanted to help students gain the confidence they need to complete high school and the HSC because I remember what it felt like for me at the time! I got useful skills out of the tutoring experience - soft skills and organisational skills.I would recommend EzyMath as an employer to people who are organised and dedicated because they can genuinely get a lot out of it and I would definitely recommend EzyMath to prospective students.

I joined EzyMath more than 2 years ago. The admin has always been around to help and replied to my emails promptly. I was offered a number of students, few of which I continued for 2 years. My biggest accomplishment as an EzyMath tutor was to help students grow, as well as benefit from it for my own growth. I started tutoring a student when he was starting his year 7 and tutored him till he was starting year 9. I hope that the student benefited from my guidance, but there was a lot I could learn from the session as well. Working with young children has been a tremendous benefit since they possess such vibrant energy. I came to work at EzyMath as a uni student looking for a part time work. EzyMath was professional, motivated and constantly taking feedback from the tutors and the students to enrich the tutoring experience for all. I would certainly recommend tutoring for EzyMath, for both clients and prospective tutors.

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 Ipswich Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Amberley District State School.
