As a tutor you can provide a child/student with a different outlook on their learning. For example, their school teacher may have explained it in a way that the child didn't particularly understand, and as a tutor you can give them a more unique and individual learning experience that they wouldn't get at school. Providing children with one-on-one…

Being able to help a student achieve future problems on their own by helping them understand how to do a problem rather than just providing the solution is one of the most important things I consider a tutor can do for a student.

Give moral support and guidance. As a tutor, I don't give answers or solve the student's work, I want them to be able to solve it themselves and use their critical thinking skills with their knowledge of subject content.

It is important for a tutor to steer the student into the right direction by giving simplistic explanations to questions or concepts, as poor explanations can confuse and destroy students' thought processes. What is also really important for a tutor is to be non-judgmental and have a personality that can induce questions from students who may be…

Ezymath has been the best thing for my daughter, who is currently in her final year at school. Her tutor Sophie is absolutely doing a brilliant job helping my daughter. She is very cheerful and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Inside RidgehavenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Marley focused on expanding and collecting like terms in algebra, then practised factorising to find common factors.

For Year 9, Alex worked through growth and decay problems using exponential functions and explored the basics of logarithms.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Sam revised the perimeter and area of circles by tackling a practice test covering areas of various shapes.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student became frustrated after mistakes in algebra, which led to hesitancy and reluctance to check their own work—"he needs to be confident to make these mistakes and learn from them."

In Year 10, a student relied heavily on entering equations into the calculator without showing working, resulting in confusion when errors appeared; they attempted to do everything at once rather than breaking down problems.

Meanwhile, a primary student skipped revising fraction division outside of lessons, making it difficult to consolidate learning for upcoming assessments. Uncertainty and avoidance slowed progress each time a new topic was introduced.

Recent Achievements

One Ridgehaven tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who, after initially mixing up mark-ups and mark-offs, started to distinguish between them accurately following targeted practice—something he couldn't do at the start.

In Year 8, another student moved from needing step-by-step guidance on algebraic expressions to independently correcting her own mistakes and reworking problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to hesitate when drawing graphs now sets up tables and plots data with minimal help, even explaining mean and mode calculations back to the tutor. She completed every graphing task solo for the first time last session.

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 City of Tea Tree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ridgehaven Primary School.
