Science Tutor Smithfield, SA
Apart from being a tutor, I'm also a mentor to my students by building a strong relationship with them over time. One of the most important things that I can do as a tutor is be an adult that they can trust and look up to in their life. As a tutor, I strive to create positive learning experiences, provide encouragement and use effective…

Firstly, tutoring helps the tutor to reinforce their own skills and exposes us to adapt to different learning techniques. Also, it helps fostering to a child's need and supports him/her to emerge out in the right direction. It simple makes a positive difference in the society at large and is indeed rewarding to see a child reach his/her goal…

Encouraging and patient when explaining concepts to students. Tutors need to provide encouragement as this will build both motivation within the student to do well in a subject, and increase their overall confidence in a difficult topic. I believe setting achievable goals is also an important thing a tutor can do. Patience is also critical, as…

There are many important things a tutor can do for their students however, the greatest thing is being a supportive role model. If the student is able to respect and understand their tutor, there is a high chance that student looks up to that tutor. Therefore, it is important that the tutor can develop a professional relationship with the student…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time. I have strengths as coach that…

Sometimes a student needs more than just a tutor who can teach him or her difficult contents; they also need someone who can provide them with encouragement and support so they can start believing in their own skills. A tutor can come up with millions of strategies to apply in order to deliver a lesson, but it'll be worthless if you don't relate…

As I alluded to earlier, I think the student's enjoyment is extremely important. That's not to say that they should be having fun at the expense of gaining knowledge, much the contrary; I think the best way for a student to gain knowledge that will last beyond the next test or exam is to have it conveyed in such a way that they take a genuine…

I think the best tutor is one who guides the students properly and fairly not only in their academics but also about life challenges. Most importantly a tutor should be ready to explain a single concept even 10 times to students if they are not able to get that without getting annoyed Well , I'm quite patient which I think is my biggest strength…

For high school students, I find that the most important thing a tutor can do is to build a student's confidence in their own abilities. More often than not, I hear student's say that they don't know what they're doing, which can hold them back from trying their best. It's a fact of psychology that people tend to sabotage their own efforts when…

I strongly believe that tutor are in a position, where they can not only help the student with solving a problem, but also build their confidence so that they become confident in solving any type of problems independently. It is also about teaching them how to approach a question instead of giving them the answers. For example, helping them to…

Watching my child's confidence improve as she develops her Math skills has been very rewarding.
Tracy

Inside SmithfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sam worked on five-digit place value and expanded notation, then practised addition and subtraction with three-digit numbers through worded problems.

Year 8 student Liam revised lines and angles—including exterior angles of triangles—and solved practice geometry questions before being introduced to congruence rules for triangles.

For Year 10, Ava focused on solving quadratic equations by factorising and finding roots, as well as simplifying quadratics using the difference of squares formula.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12, leaving research assignments until the last minute meant one student had little time to select articles or polish work; as a tutor noted, "the opportunity to absorb learning is limited." Relying on session time rather than independent preparation also slowed progress in English.

In Year 10 Science, forgetting materials (like textbooks and test papers) made it impossible to review key topics together.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student often skipped practicing unfamiliar multiplication tables for homework—leading to gaps when tackling worded problems.

When written steps were skipped in Year 8 algebra, sign errors crept in unnoticed.

Recent Achievements

A Smithfield tutor noticed Chelsea, a Year 10 student, now regularly asks for clarification on complex equations instead of staying silent when stuck—a big shift from her earlier sessions where she hesitated to speak up.

Meanwhile, Caitlin in Year 9 has started tackling challenging geometry problems independently and even requested extra variations to practice after mastering the basics.

In a recent primary session, one younger student who used to guess at multi-digit addition is now verbalising each step out loud and checking their own work before moving on.

Last week, Caitlin attempted all elimination method questions solo and finished them correctly.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Working with Ezy Math Tutoring is hands down, the best opportunity I could have done for my career and for myself. I started working with them while studying at university, and I found that tutoring was not only fulfilling and rewarding, but it helped me understand little things better, which in turn helped me with my work at uni. Having to teach material that I'd become so familiar with, to someone who wasn't, made me actually think about maths in much more depth. It also taught me patience, to problem solve, and how to explain a concept that I understand very well, to someone who didn't. Not to mention it was fantastic to get to know the kids, see them through school and celebrate their successes with them. After university, when interviewing for jobs to start my career, amid all my awards and achievements, the thing that impressed people the most was my tutoring experience. The most amazing thing is being able to see the difference in the students - not only in their marks but their confidence. It's incredible to know that you helped make that happen. Unfortunately I am unable to continue tutoring with Ezy Math Tutoring as I've started my career as a Software Test Analyst, and it's because of my tutoring experience that I was able to receive this amazing opportunity. Ezy Math Tutoring really has been the best experience, and I would definitely recommend working as a Tutor with them, or as a client.

Ezymath tutoring was a fantastic company to tutor for. They were extremely helpful in a number of situations and were always able to answer a question promptly. The way in which they kept on making sure I was continually trained was a success through the use of biweekly CEP. Overall, I am very happy with having tutored with Ezymath and would recommend anyone to choose them, as a tutor or a student

I decided to start tutoring with EzyMath in order to gain some teaching experience while studying education at university. The confidence and knowledge this job has given me is second to none; working one on one with students can be a challenging experience, but it is endlessly rewarding. I was most impressed with how EzyMath provided ongoing support and learning programs to their tutors, providing us with teaching tips and skills to use with our clients. My best accomplishment during my time as a tutor would have been taking my ESL student from a C- in English to an A grade. I could see how pleased she was with herself, and the sense of achievement was shared between us. I encourage all education students to take on tutoring for extra experience, as it will provide you with a head start that will boost your teaching practice. There are plenty of tutoring companies to choose from, however if you are looking for great communication, training, support and professionalism, make EzyMath your first choice.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blakeview Primary School.
