Teaching Maths by asking the student where they wants to start and that there is no problem in asking any 'stupid' question. Being able to listen them and get to know their strength and weaknesses. I'm good at getting to know the students well and establishing a connection with them. I believe that tutoring Maths goes beyond teaching them rules;…

I think it is also very important to be friendly and to make the learning fun and more easier to be retained in your memory. My strengths would be that i have a high attention to detail and that i am very practical. I…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to believe in them and their capabilities and to make them feel that they can learn anything they want. My greatest strength is to break down complex ideas into simple and easy to understand bits of information and giving enough practice problems to my students so that they are…

Firstly, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to what the student believes they need to work on and aid them with that. The student needs are the highest priority and it is important they feel heard and listened to. Additionally, I believe that it’s important that we as tutors take the time to acquire extra…

Since students most commonly get tutoring as they do not understand the approach taken by their teacher to the subject, I believe the most important thing is to relate to the student, and see the problem from their perspective. This leads to the ability to create personalised approaches to the theories presented in class, and allow the student to…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to be someone that can focus on just them (1-on-1), where a teacher cannot, and to find a specific way to teach them based on the students needs (i.e. How the student learns best?). A teacher is unable to do this as much as they have many students to focus on. But tutors can…

Show the student how manageable getting good grades in a subject really is and how capable they are of doing so.

I believe a tutor should be able to foster a passion for the subject in the student and make it engaging and interesting.

To actually be committed to helping the student and genuinely wanting to help the student is most important in my opinion. I have personally had tutors who excelled in their own academics, but were not genuinely wanting to tutor - unfortunately this meant that they did not give the best explanations and guidance they could give to me. I met a…

Local Reviews

The EzyMath team has been very easy to work with - our tutor is very punctual, proactive, polite, flexible, and my child has been enjoying her lessons! She has been picking up new concepts and her confidence has increased! The online team has also been great, in particular their communication is excellent (they are prompt to reply to emails and check in regularly). I am really happy overall with the service they are providing.

Inside St LuciaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 Cara spent several sessions strengthening her foundation in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, gradually moving on to fractions and exploring angles using diagrams.

Year 8 Arnav focused on data analysis for a maths assignment, specifically comparing two groups using mean, median, and mode while interpreting results from charts.

Meanwhile, Year 9 Masiha tackled trigonometry concepts including right-angled triangles (sin, cos, tan) and progressed to three-digit bearings in later lessons.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 mathematics, Cara repeatedly relied on a "cheat sheet" for times tables and hesitated when faced with multiplication or division involving larger numbers. As one tutor noted, "she tended to guess answers instead of working through each step," especially when the material wasn't her favourite.

In senior biology (Year 12), Arnav struggled to integrate others' research into his own writing and found it difficult to synthesize several sources into a single argument. This led to drafts that were overly detailed but lacked cohesion—drafting became overwhelming rather than productive when he felt pressured to get it perfect in one go.

Recent Achievements

A recent St Lucia tutoring session saw one Year 10 student move from hesitating with multi-step maths problems to confidently working through each stage and even catching their own small errors without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who used to get frustrated with data analysis now independently identifies patterns in statistics and explains what the results mean, showing more initiative than before.

In Year 5, Cara—who was previously quiet during lessons—has started raising her hand for help when stuck and finished an entire set of division questions on her own for the first time.

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 West End Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ironside State School.
