The most important thing a biology tutor can do for their student is to listen to their requests and see where they think they are struggling with and need help with. Staying calm when your student is getting frustrated for not understanding a specific topic and understanding and listening to the way they learn instead of trying to push your…
I believe the most important thing I can do as a tutor is to help students with confidence so they have the ability to try as hard as they can, maximise their potential, ask questions and be open about their weaknesses!

Inside San IsidoreTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
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
I applied to work at Ezy Math Tutoring because I was looking for a job that could give me teaching experience. Not only do Ezy Math provide this through the tutoring but they also give ongoing tutor learning modules to keep you thinking about different aspects of your tutoring and to help you keep improving as a tutor. They are dedicated to ensuring that their tutors are constantly improving and this is fantastic for both the tutor and the client! I appreciate the skills I have learned as my time as a tutor and am thankful for their support that they give me.
Working with Ezymath has allowed me to develop my interpersonal skills through the interaction with different students and parents. Through tutoring, I have learnt to become more patient and understanding when it comes to other people's needs. I have also been able to improve my communication skills as well. My time at Ezymath tutoring has been a great learning experience, whereby I've had fun dealing with different students. Ezymath has been very flexible and accommodating in regards to my tutoring employment.
The biggest accomplishment while working with EzyMath? / What was gained from the tutoring experience?
This would have to be the week to week and month to month satisfaction of developing a relationship with a student and the satisfaction in seeing their confidence as well as their marks ever-increasing. It's gratifying to be able to quantify the effort both the student and the tutor have dedicated to building a mathematical foundation for years to come. The marks don't lie!
The fact that EzyMath selects students within a 10-15 minute drive is a bonus, and the access to materials and a forum for asking questions is supportive for those starting out in the area of education.
