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…

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…

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…

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…

Ezymath has been the best thing for my daughter, who is currently in her final year at school. Her tutor Sophie is absolutely doing a brilliant job helping my daughter. She is very cheerful and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Inside Smithfield PlainsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Ariana worked on symmetry in shapes and completed a year 4 content quiz to consolidate her understanding.

In Year 10, Sam revised quadratic equations for an upcoming maths exam and received support with his physics assignment, focusing on acceleration calculations and using formulae.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jamie tackled biology topics including Punnett squares, mitosis versus meiosis, and explored the structure of DNA by working through questions that reinforced key genetic concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student arrived without their Biology test or Merchant of Venice materials, so key texts could not be reviewed during the session.

In Year 11, another student had not selected any articles for a research task; "because of time pressure the opportunity to absorb learning is limited," noted the tutor.

For a Year 8 maths lesson, skipping steps in equations meant sign errors went unnoticed and correcting them took up valuable lesson time.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner's workbook layout made it difficult to follow number patterns—misplaced columns led to confusion when bridging to ten.

Recent Achievements

A Smithfield Plains tutor noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who used to rush through data questions but now double-checks formulas and compares lines, showing real care in getting results right.

In a senior biology session, a student who often hesitated to participate began identifying critical observations during experiments and talked through each step out loud instead of staying quiet.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner started picking up on repetitive phrasing in her essays by herself—something she struggled with before—and finished revising two paragraphs without needing reminders.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like John Hartley School B-6.
