Science Tutor Salisbury Heights, SA
I believe the most important thing which a tutor can do for a student is not only teach them what they need to know but teach them the skills which they need to succeed on their own. I believe this because although a tutor can help with their learning, they can't be there every single step of the way, especially after high school. These skills…

Science Tutor Salisbury North, SA
The best things that a mentor can give his/her students are life long skills and strategies. Academic knowledge is one thing however being able to know how to handle other different learning problem is something that the students can take with them for a long time (eg; time management, self discipline, problem solving skills) I believe my…

Science Tutor Salisbury North, SA
The most important thing that a tutor can do is teach them to learn. Not everyone learns the same way so we should identify the childrens strength and cater to their needs so that they can become good independent learners in the future My biggest strength as a tutor is patience. Every child learns at a different pace and it's important to slow…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide clear explanations, offer patient guidance, foster a supportive learning environment, adapt teaching strategies to suit the student's needs, and instill confidence in their abilities. As a tutor, I believe my strengths lie in my ability to explain complex concepts in simple…

The most important thing is for a tutor to help a student understand the concepts, rather than giving them answers, to help them towards understanding the work independently. I consider myself to be patient with my students as they learn at their own speeds, while providing them with the path to find the answer…

Local Reviews

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.
