A tutor's most important role is to listen, observe, and provide students with the necessary tools and strategies to learn effectively. By doing so, tutors can help students overcome academic challenges, develop lifelong learning skills, and foster a cycle of confidence, motivation, and success. To begin with, although I am relatively new to…

The best thing an english tutor can do for a student is it reduce the fear of studying/learning a subject. Mathematics is a tough subject and it is important tutors take the right approach when they teach that subject. I am a huge believer in teachers being friends with their students. My biggest strength is that I get along with students and try…

I think the most important thing is to listen to the student and allow them to feel confident in asking for help. It's important to make sure that the student doesn't feel dumb or like they're being looked down upon when asking a question. It's also important to be honest, if you don't know the answer it's better to tell the student this and…

One of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student would be helping the student gain confidence in the area in which they are struggling.

Ideally, I want to instill the same sense of wonder and love that I have for mathematics in the students. This won't work for all students, of course, so failing that I think an english tutor should be able to teach a student how to think for themselves - it's one thing to be shown how to get an answer, and it's another thing entirely to be taught…

Helping them complete their work is part of the job. However, the most important thing is making sure students are relaxed. If they are getting overwhelmed they shouldn't be pushed because then it'll make them feel like they can't do it. So tackling their weaknesses at a realistic pace will help them not feel pressured to understand straight away.…

Inside ShorncliffeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Bella worked on mental maths and algebraic thinking, focusing on developing confidence with number patterns.

Year 11 Katie explored the differences between mechanical and non-mechanical waves and investigated real-world applications of wave amplitude using practical examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Daniel tackled advanced physics concepts, including Faraday's and Lenz's laws as well as conservation of energy in electromagnetic induction, with time spent practicing relevant formulae for assessment tasks.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Physics, one student relied heavily on the formula sheet but struggled to identify which equation matched the question, slowing their problem-solving. As noted: "Needs to check fundamentals of physics understanding eg. gravity."

In a Year 12 assessment, submitting only a partial draft limited feedback opportunities and left analysis unfinished.

A Year 8 Maths learner avoided writing out full working, which led to repeated decimal placement errors in multiplication—when prompted to show steps, they could pinpoint mistakes themselves.

Meanwhile, another student's concentration drifted after an exam day, leaving questions half-completed and feedback unaddressed for later sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Shorncliffe noticed that one high school student, who used to hesitate and guess when stuck, now actively asks clarifying questions and uses logical reasoning to work out solutions—something she hadn't done before.

Another secondary student made a clear shift by preparing specific questions before sessions and using her formula sheet independently during revision, showing new initiative with exam strategies.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously mixed up equivalent fractions confidently explained why 50/100 equals 1/2 during their session, then completed all ten fraction problems without errors.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I started tutoring with Ezy Math as a way of keeping busy in the final year of my postgraduate research. I ended up loving every moment, especially those that were challenging. It was amazing to see my student gain more confidence in understanding and solving maths questions. The proudest moment for me was the session where she didn't ask for my help with her exercises, but finished them perfectly. This experience encouraged me to apply for secondary teacher training this year, and I can't wait to start. Ezy Math Tutoring is such a supportive environment. I really appreciate the personal development modules that they provided, as my student and  benefited greatly from them.

I found EzyMath on the internet when I was trying to find a maths tutor for my daughter leading up to her final exams. Ezymath organised a tutor within two days. Nathan was punctual, organised and very proficient. My daughters grades in maths increased by 10% after just a few sessions. My daughter and I both wished we had of contacted EzyMath sooner and would definitely recommend their services to others.

It's my first time ever tutoring primary school and high school students formally. I admit I was quite nervous at the beginning and I thought the parents would have been highly demanding. I found that the parents are extremely cooperative and the whole work environment is very flexible. I devolped my Communication skills, especially with younger kids and their parents. I believe in this era, face-to-face conversation is overlooked by many thanks to the advanced technologies but the tutoring experience strengthen my belief that face-to-face communication is still the best way to communicate and share ideas.

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 Sandgate Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Patrick's College.
