The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is buiding their confidence and enjoyment of a subject that they perhaps once struggled with.

A tutor can engage the mind of a child and develop a love for the subject within the child.

I believe that when the right tutor is paired with the right student, they can help the student to understand the pleasure of academic subjects.

In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Working with ezymath tutoring has made me learn a lot about management in general. The working and organizing of the entire organisation proves the efficiency of ezymath.
As a tutor, everyday was a learning experience. I grew with the students in so many ways of understanding, analysing, learning and believing that each of my students could achieve their goal. Ezymath has always been a constant support. Gene especially has been very understanding during my term as a tutor. The striking quality of this organisation was the flexibility, the management never interfered in the weekly organisation of the tutorials and was completely left up to the tutor and student's availability.
Ezymath also puts in great effort by monitoring the progress of not just the students but tutor's as well. Every fortnight is monitored with feedbacks and different learning modules benefiting both the tutor and student.
Finally, it's a great place for tutors and students. Both their needs are catered to with much understanding. Had a great time working.
It has been a pleasure working for Ezy Math Tutoring. I've never seen an organisation (for lack of a better word) so dedicated and organised. I came to work for Ezy Math Tutoring because of two reasons: my prior experience with tutoring and my need for a part-time job. I sought to utilise my abilities and help out students who wanted my help. My biggest accomplishment would be to see my students, grow in their studies and become more confident. I was exceedingly happy to be able to have facilitated his academic and personal growth.
Ezy Math Tutoring is unlike any other tutoring service in that it really tries to present the highest calibre of tutors and constantly motivate and mould them to become even better tutors. In turn, this represents a higher success rate with students and as such, everyone is satisfied. I would recommend EMT to both fellow tutors and prospective parents/students alike. My time at Ezy Math Tutoring has been great and I wish the company, its tutors and its students well for the future.
I would certainly recommend Ezymath to prospective students. Having a tutor who is close in location and able to work at developing a relationship with each individual student can greatly assist students in discovering how to succeed in maths. I would also strongly recommend Ezymath's professional development activities and CEP modules to other prospective tutors. I have appreciated the important learning lessons within the CEP modules and have applied this to my tutoring and used it to help my students.
It has also been fantastic to develop relationships with my students and their parents over the past year and a half. In this time I have seen my students grow personally and academically. One particular grade 7 student I have seen progress from low B's to high A's within the time I have been tutoring him. However, my greatest achievement during the time I have been tutoring is to have helped my two current students to realise just how much hard work they need to put in to do their very best with maths. Both of these students have seen considerable improvements in their results as we have developed habits such as regularly completing revision quizzes, developing key memory pegs & triggers to remember strategies and rules.
Once my students discovered that practicing such techniques and putting in so much regular revision time improved their results, they were more motivated and determined to continue putting in such efforts to keep improving their marks.
