Ivana is really on to where Ethan's weaknesses and strengths are and works on them. The report is very thorough and I see/agree with her feedback. She really knows where he is at. It's great areas can be targeted and some are quick and some take longer to consolidate. We are very happy with Ivana and appreciate all her efforts!

Inside St HelenaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily focused on number and algebra skills, including mastering long multiplication with three-digit by two-digit numbers and practising addition with larger numbers.

Year 9 sessions for Chloe covered linear graphing—drawing lines from equations and identifying gradients and y-intercepts—as well as revising key trigonometry concepts like using SOHCAHTOA to find missing side lengths in right-angled triangles.

Meanwhile, Sarah in Year 10 worked through financial mathematics, specifically calculating simple and compound interest, then applied these concepts to real-life scenarios such as wages and commission calculations.

Recent Challenges

Lack of confidence was a recurring theme across both upper primary and high school maths sessions, particularly when questions required applying familiar skills in new or worded contexts.

For example, a Year 8 student "froze on application questions in tests, even though she could do the maths perfectly in practice."

In Year 10 algebra and graphing tasks, doubts about rearranging equations or recognizing intercepts led to hesitancy and repeated checking—"she second-guessed every step, even when her approach was correct."

In surface area for composite shapes (Year 7), confusion arose from difficulty identifying simpler components. These moments left otherwise capable students unable to complete multi-step problems independently.

Recent Achievements

A St Helena tutoring session saw a Year 10 student finally start double-checking her answers for gradient and y-intercept problems without prompting—she used to rush through, missing steps, but now pauses to catch her own mistakes.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who previously struggled with drawing linear graphs showed real progress; after working on the formula together over two weeks, she could lay out each axis point correctly and connect them accurately.

In primary, Indie surprised her tutor by solving double-digit addition quickly and tackled the 3, 4, and 5 times tables much more confidently than last month.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I know it is only early days but Harley and Owen seem to have '˜clicked'.  They are working really well and not only is Harley's confidence growing but also his understanding of the maths chapters they have been studying has improved.   I no longer have to hassle him to do his homework - always a bonus!

Henry has had 3 sessions with Justin so far, and it is going very well. His current topic is algebra and he feels that he is benefitting from the additional assistance. Justin is punctual, helpful (even stayed back an extra 10-15 minutes last week to help Henry with a problem-solving sheet) and is very pleasant to have around.

Thank you for your email.  I am really enjoying working with David, he makes the study fun and very interesting. We're working through some gaps in my knowledge and then I am greatly looking forward to getting into the much more complicated and exciting math.

Maths tutoring in St Helena

"Give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime". This pretty much sums up our maths tutoring philosophy. Year after year students are bombarded with an increasing amount of content. Most students are always in catch up mode, trying to keep up with the class, cramming in some revision time right before exams, feeling anxious and unconfident. Of course it is possible to do well this way, but it is like using a hammer to cut down a tree instead of an axe. There's a better way to succeed academically. This is where we come in. Ezy Math tutors break the cycle of inefficient learning by showing students not just WHAT to study but also HOW to study.

Your local maths tutor in St Helena will come to you a time that's convenient! It's all done on your own terms. The tutors all have their own ideas and approaches to tutoring but ultimately they adapt themselves to each unique situation.

We offer simple hourly rates with no other charges or fees, no nonsense just tutoring. Plus, the first lesson is a trial to ensure you're happy with the tutor. Give us a call, our consultants can review your area, answer questions and explain pricing in detail.
