The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to remember their position when they were at their student's age, the difficulties they faced while learning and sharing their experiences with passion to their students so they do not have to face such difficulties while learning. My strengths which may be beneficial as a tutor are…

I believe I am a very calm and welcoming person which would allow for students to feel relaxed around me. I also am capable of explaining a concept in a…

The most important thing an english tutor can do isn't just to lead them to the right answers but help them build confidence and self-motivation. As a tutor, I aim to help students develop independence. For me, a successful teacher is someone who can guide students to no longer needing one. I am quick to identify the strengths and weaknesses of…

I believe that tutoring for a student should be a safe zone space where they can make mistakes. Tutoring does not have the same pressue for a student that school can, as such it is important for an english tutor to be patient and adaptive when a student is struggling with a concept. A tutor should welcome mistakes as an opportunity to grow. I also…

I think that behind each grade/score is the amount of work put into studying, which in turn is mostly driven by a person’s self-esteem. I believe that the more a person is accepting of the way they personally think and learn, the more comfortable they are to actually put in the work to achieve their highest potential. Therefore the most…

Local Reviews

Our student is very happy with her tutor's in-depth explanations. I am very happy with EzyMath's clear information, quick responses, and the well-organised and responsive tutor provided within a few days of making the request. The monthly report is detailed and clear, and gaps in general study skills are being filled, which will help with all subjects.

Inside RipleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Amelia focused on telling time to the quarter hour and practiced subtraction with borrowing using number lines.

For Year 10, Issy worked on differentiating arithmetic versus geometric sequences and applying these in context-based exam questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James revised perpetuities and annuities (including recursive models), then explored planar graphs, Euler's formula, and their applications through graphing exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student in Mathematics Methods struggled to identify and track key variables when building reducing balance loan models—"she mixed up which values went where," as one tutor noted. This led to confusion during complex multi-step questions, especially under exam-style conditions.

In Year 8, a student's written work for worded problems became hard to follow due to inconsistent layout; this made it difficult for her to check answers or find errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner avoided showing working on skip counting tasks, hesitating out of fear of making mistakes. Confidence wavered after setbacks with long division.

Recent Achievements

One Ripley tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rely heavily on prompts is now independently working through complex reducing balance loan and annuity problems, confidently picking out key information herself.

In another session, a Year 9 student who previously hesitated with bivariate data questions is now attempting unfamiliar problems independently, showing clear initiative.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who would often guess the time rather than ask for help has started using an interactive clock tool and now checks her answers out loud before moving on.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Raj has been excellent & Chloe's teachers have really noticed an improvement.  I will recommend Ezy Math to everyone! Thanks for that.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes Ewan is very happy and I can already see his confidence improving.

We are exceptionally pleased with Adhi.  He has done a great job with Jonathon and we hope to get him back next year on a regular basis to help Jonathon in Year 11.

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 Ripley Central State School.
