Ancient History Tutor Canberra, ACT
A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

Ancient History Tutor Canberra, ACT
I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in themselves and their understanding of the subject. I find that from confidence can come a wealth of improvement in performance, as a student's willingness to take risks and belief themselves can go a long way. In terms of specific strengths, I…

Ancient History Tutor Canberra, ACT
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to help students develop critical thinking skills. It’s not just about giving them the right answers, but guiding them to ask the right questions, break down problems, and reason through solutions on their own. This way, they become independent learners who can tackle new challenges with…

Ancient History Tutor Acton, ACT
I think to be dependable and reliable is the best thing for a student, so that they can feel safe with asking for help from their tutor. A student must first feel safe around their teacher so that they can more openly accept guidance and assistance. I consider myself a very friendly and approachable person. As someone who experienced academic…

Michael

Ancient History Tutor Acton, ACT
I think the most important facet is personalising lesson plans and taking time to understand the main shortcomings of each individual student. Being able to have open conversations and earn students trust to offer constructive feedback that extends outside the lesson - e.g dealing with mental stress and study regimes - can be far more important to…

I believe it is essential to understand your student, and adapt your teaching and communication style to benefit their learning style, age, personality, and knowledge. It is important for a tutor to really believe in their student, and do all they can to help them excel. I believe I have excellent communication skills as I am able to adapt to each…

Inside RussellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Bella worked through areas, surface areas, and volumes of composite shapes using diagrams to visualise each step.

Year 10 student Tom focused on revising bivariate statistics for his upcoming maths exam and practiced interpreting scatter plots.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Grace tackled linear programming by identifying feasible regions on graphs and solving related problem sets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often left out crucial details when plotting data points, leading to confusion about the accuracy of their results; as one tutor put it, "Just be careful with dot and stem/leaf plots to make sure no data point is accidently ignored."

In Year 11 calculus, reluctance to write out full working meant missed steps in applying derivative rules, especially under time pressure.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner struggled to keep written solutions organized and clear, making final answers harder to check for rounding or sign errors. This made reviewing mistakes more difficult after feedback sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Russell tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after weeks of struggling to rearrange equations, now reliably spots her own mistakes and corrects them without prompting.

In Year 10 maths, another student started speaking up whenever an explanation wasn't clear—whereas before, she'd just stay quiet and guess. This new independence in asking for help marks real progress.

A younger student in Year 5 surprised his tutor by using general maths knowledge to solve an unfamiliar problem on his own, something he'd previously hesitated to attempt. Tackling unfamiliar problems independently is a major step forward.

Last session finished with the Year 11 student confidently handling transition matrix questions solo.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

My experience with ezymaths was one like a rollercoaster that ended on a high note. What's special about ezymaths is that you will find support and there will be teaching material and teaching strategies available if you get stuck. Overall, as a tutor, you will learn a lot more than you will expect.

For establishing tutors, Ezy Math provides a solid support base to springboard them into the market. Not only does it take out the stress of sourcing and securing clients, but the CEP modules ensure the constant engagement of the learning styles of the tutor, and make it clear that all manner of support is available for those who need it. This programme really sets Ezy Math apart from other services, and allows tutors to blossom into confident, experienced mentors. The in-home service really does provide a unique experience for clients, which they truly appreciate. It also helps to make a clear distinction in students' minds between the lessons offered at school, to the very different style of education tutors have to produce. For all prospective tutors, Ezy Math is a great way to grow comfortable within the industry. Through the guidance of Ezy Math it has been a joy to watch students develop a real confidence because of my tutelage.

I just wanted to express my thanks to you and my son's tutor Sam. With his assistance Grady improved his maths results from virtually failing the subject to achieving a very respectable B + for his end of year  11 final grade. Sam was personable and patient, encouraging and motivating. Even though my son has decided not to continue studying maths in year  12 , I am delighted with the results he was able to achieve ,and the confidence and self- belief he attained. Please pass these comments on to Sam. Again, thank you so much.

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 Kingston Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Campbell Primary School.
