Maths Tutor Upper Ferntree Gully, VIC
I think a maths tutor must help a student understand their work. A deep level understanding is good as it can give new perspectives to their work and to their endeavors. A surface level understanding is okay for replicating pre-set answers for a question, but a deeper understanding allows the person to view the question in a different way and to…

A tutor can first start by welcoming their student and getting to know them in order to make them feel comfortable and relaxed. This will make it easier for the tutor to better understand the student, but also easier for the student to freely ask questions. As well as holding the ability to teach, a maths tutor must have patience. Being a good…

Whilst a tutor should also be avaliable,…

Inside SelbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel practised times tables and built confidence with more complex multiplication, then moved on to adding and subtracting fractions as well as reading 24-hour time.

Year 10 student Isaac focused on analysing cinematic devices in The Princess Bride and developed his skills in political cartoon analysis using scene workbooks.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Vien prepared ideas and a main argument for a practice essay and refined responses for an upcoming English SAC by practising concise re-wording of sentences.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student hesitated to expand on ideas in English essays, sometimes leaving planning unfinished—he needs to think and plan faster on his own as well due to the time limit during the actual SAC.

In Year 8 maths, another student skipped homework practice after lessons, which led to forgotten steps when tackling multi-step problems later.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student's spelling errors and hard-to-read handwriting slowed down both their essay writing and comprehension tasks; paragraphs often took extra time just to get through.

When exam stress hit in VCE English Language, fear of making mistakes led one student to avoid original examples in essay responses altogether.

Recent Achievements

A Selby tutor recently noticed one high school student who, after weeks of struggling to clarify her ideas in essays, was able to draft a well-structured introduction and now actively proofreads for clarity instead of skipping that step.

Another secondary student surprised himself by recalling details from earlier assessments during a quiz and confidently explained the strategies he used on his SAC—something he hesitated to do before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has begun tackling new maths topics with less prompting, even choosing to try harder multiplication questions independently by the end of the session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Nathan is great and Katelyn is really happy. At first she wasn't very keen on having a tutor but she is not complaining at all anymore.  We are off to a great start and I feel positive.

Working with you guys was very fun and exciting. I got to learn a lot from it. Getting to know and meeting different students built up my communication and teaching skills. My biggest achievement was teaching a student who hated maths and making them love it. it was a time of hardship, but I never gave up . The student always felt that she couldn't do well and that she will always hate maths. I decided to challenge myself that no matter what I will surely make this student reach the top level. Slowly the effort rose and I was proud of myself that I was capable of teaching my students to love maths and always never lose hope. Ezymath tutoring was one thing I wanted to work with because it provided resources, flexible timings and balanced schedule. I  never had any problems with rescheduling as you guys were flexible. Tutoring has made me experience and reveal my inner most teaching skills and communication skills. I can approach a problem from the student's perspective, which helps in identifying faults in understanding. Students gradually gained confidence over months and I was finally confident that they would be ready for any tough problems. I enjoyed working with you and I will recommend you to fellow tutors and prospective clients.

I loved working as a tutor with Ezy Math. The office contacted me regularly with prospective students and rewarded me with great pay. It was great to see how a student's approach to knowledge changes when others invest in them. Being a tutor was great preparation for office work, as it helped me learn several forms of effective communication, relevant for different types of people.

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