Just an up date on Alexander. He is absolutely shining with Matt - fantastic tutor!Chrissie, Linden Park
Year 12 student Divyanshu focused on Stage 2 Chemistry topics such as **stoichiometry**, unit conversions, and chromatography (including Rf values and retention time), while in Mathematical Methods worked through differentiation techniques like chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, and applications to ln(x) and e^x using examples.
Year 11 Lucy revised **index laws**, worked with fractional indices including negative powers converted to surds, and practiced simplifying algebraic expressions with BEDMAS.
For Year 6 maths, Maja revisited linear relations from the basics—covering **gradient calculation** (rise over run), forms of y = mx + c, and graphing functions after missing two weeks of content.
In Year 11 Chemistry, a student repeatedly struggled to draw accurate organic structures, such as esters and carbohydrates—"he attached the oxygen to the wrong carbon," one tutor noted—making it difficult to score full marks in written responses.
Meanwhile, in senior Maths, another student often forgot to substitute values back into original equations when finding stationary points, leading to incomplete solutions.
For a Year 7 learner, inconsistent recall of index laws slowed progress with fraction problems and left her uncertain during mixed operations.
When these gaps occurred under time pressure or test conditions, small errors compounded and confidence faltered mid-task.
One St Georges tutor noticed Zac, a Year 9 student, move from struggling to write much at all to independently completing a full-length essay within a week—something he hadn't managed before.
In recent high school maths sessions, Divyanshu has begun correcting his own algebraic mistakes without prompting and now solves first principle problems solo, showing a new level of self-reliance compared to earlier lessons.
Meanwhile, Lucy in primary years has shifted from hesitating with fractions to confidently adding and subtracting them with minimal guidance; last session she even factored simple equations accurately on her own.
Struggling academically while seeing others succeed can feel disheartening. It may seem as though "successful students" have it easy, as if solutions just pop into their head. Seeing the cycle of success cycling round and round for others can seem like natural talent. Geniuses do exist but most successful students are just normal people who have somehow learned how to succeed academically.
Good news! Success leaves clues. These students tend to be prepared, to do their homework & regular revision. They focus on comprehension not on memorization. Most importantly they have growth mindset not a fixed mindset - failures are an opportunity for growth not proof of inadequacy.
Whatever your goals, the right attitude and the right study habits will help. A good tutor can do much more than just teach the content. They can help your child learn to be a better student, to develop a growth mindset and establish their own cycle of success. When you use Ezy Math to find a tutor this is what you're getting.
