Tutors should try their best to inculcate a certain level of intrinsic motivation in their students, rather than having students work just because the teacher or tutor says so. This increases the chances of consistent work and improvement while also increasing the level of enjoyment while working. It is also important to help them gain an…

Help them to gain back their confidence. I mean from primary to middle school or even high school, the curriculum might be hard but not that hard that students could not pass it. I believe any students are capable of finishing high school with a decent grade. Most students I met were just getting distracted, or not spending their time enough on…

The two most important things would be to clear the basics of the subject and to keep the student interested in it. Most of the students develop phobia of maths or stop being interested in the subject because they do not understand the basics. This in turn, leads them to not focus on the subject even if they are capable of doing good in it or they…

The most important thing a tutor can do is find the most efficient way to deliver concepts to their students. This will always change for each student, and so a good tutor has to be flexible and receptive to what works and what doesn't. The end goal really is to get them educated, and if that means fostering a strong friendly connection or simply…

As each student is unique it is important to assess their level of learning, identify the areas where they are lacking and then provide suitable tutoring.

A tutor can change the approach of a student towards a subject- from pessimism to optimism, and make him/her excel in that subject. Understanding- so if a topic is not well understood by the student, I can explain again with a different approach so that the student understands the concept clearly. Patience- I am patient with weak/slow learners,…

Bring them a new way to approach problems, and help them overcome the fear of giving wrong answers or asking what they might consider "dumb questions," because there are no such things as dumb questions.

Inside South WharfTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Gracie worked on reading digital and analog clocks, as well as practicing addition and subtraction with numbers in the hundreds.

Year 11 student Elias focused on detailed revision of the nervous system in psychology and tackled a mock exam by reworking challenging questions to solidify his understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ella addressed statistics and finance concepts, including analyzing real data sets and interpreting financial information relevant to her course.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student working through applications of logarithms and integration showed signs of test anxiety; as one tutor noted, "if he stuck on or passed a few questions, it may influence the rest of his test," leading to skipped questions under time pressure.

In Year 9 probability, there was difficulty in identifying correct numerators and denominators when reading stem-and-leaf plots—slowing progress during revision.

A Year 4 student was noticeably distracted towards the end of class by anticipation of online gaming, which led to lost focus on multiplication practice.

These process challenges often left unfinished tasks or interrupted deeper understanding.

Recent Achievements

One South Wharf tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip tough calculus questions now attempts them independently, showing new persistence with challenging material.

Another high schooler who struggled with reading data accurately on stem-and-leaf plots began pausing to check her work and openly discussed areas she found confusing—this honesty helped target her learning and improved her probability skills in just one session.

In primary, Gracie, who would lose focus midway through lessons, responded well when the tutor introduced short movement breaks; after these, she re-engaged quickly and completed all her fraction drawings without hesitation.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We have been very happy with Ameya , he has been well prepared, punctual and very committed to his work with Emma... I would happily recommend both Ezy Math tutoring and Ameya to people.

Shannon is delighted with Daniel and I can already see measurable results. She appears more confident.  We are more than happy to continue with him. I just need to work out  which plan to choose. When do I need to decide this?

Jason is a very nice young man who is always prompt and seems well prepared for each lesson. Charles  enjoys his tutoring so far and seems to be gaining a little more confidence.

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 Southbank Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like South Melbourne Primary School.
