The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help the student no longer require help and be an independent learner. Students will be equipped with essential learning skills from the tutor's personal experience to serve them well in academics and life. I believe I am good at explaining things and being patient and empathetic toward…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them because the student is the one who knows what they're struggling with and they are the ones who are going to tell me what they need to learn. Furthermore, I think it is important to teach students how to learn and study so that they can keep learning and working…

Tutoring can be challenging, especially when it comes to motivating your learner. You see the potential they have, and they often hear about the potential they have, but they do not feel as though they got what it takes. Living in such a busy and demanding time can often make us feel the time constraints on everything we do and we expect our…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to not give all the answers or talk about specific or complicated concepts for an extended period of time, but instead, find how the student learns best and teach this way. Listening, understanding and providing constructive feedback further can additionally help both parties in learning.…

I believe the most important thing about a tutor is being able to provide self-confidence for the student. I do this through encouragement catered both individually and to the group (if there is one). I have found that when students believe they have the ability to complete the question, they are more likely to ask questions and understand the…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel comfortable and to help them feel like learning is not a chore but a good experience. Being positive, patient and encouraging is also a very important trait for a tutor. I have a lot of experience in nannying/babysitting so, therefore, have the ability to effectively…

To me, the most essential role a tutor can fulfill is that of an enabler and empowerer. I believe a tutor's primary goal should be to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge and a resilient problem-solving framework, not only to tackle academic challenges but also to navigate any obstacle life may present. An empowering tutor equips…

To make the students be clear of the basics which helps the students in the long run and also to be polite with them as not all students have the same level of understanding, and each student has different pace at which they learn so we need to give them as much time as possible to learn better. I am very patient with the children; I use different…

Local Reviews

Tiffany is currently tutoring my son and daughter. The process of setting up the sessions was quick and efficient. She has always been on time, committed and focused during the sessions. The children have found her to be friendly and approachable and have really found the three lessons so far to be extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend EzyMaths.

Inside SydenhamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Emma worked through angle properties for parallel lines and used diagrams to explore alternate, corresponding, and cointerior angles.

In Year 9, Alex focused on trigonometric ratios and their applications, as well as reinforcing index laws with practice problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas tackled standard differentiation techniques including the quotient rule, applying these skills to textbook exercises and real exam questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, one student relied on entering chemical equations straight into the calculator rather than writing them out—this habit led to repeated errors in balancing equations and missed marks.

For a Year 9 Maths student, index laws were an ongoing challenge; as a tutor noted, "he tended to skip showing working when applying index rules," making it hard to catch mistakes early.

Meanwhile, a senior student's proof-writing in Maths lacked clear formatting, so their logical steps weren't always obvious. In these moments, accuracy suffered and corrections took longer than needed.

Recent Achievements

One Sydenham tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to freeze when tackling simultaneous equations; now, she's able to set up the equations and choose between substitution or elimination without prompting.

In another session, a Year 11 student who struggled with linking rates to differential equations is finally making those connections on his own, confidently talking through each step.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 6 recently began identifying like terms independently and multiplying coefficients—last term he'd wait for hints before trying. Last week, he asked the tutor for extra practice problems on fractions.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes we are very happy with Jacinta. She is lovely and Emily likes her. She seems to be very suited to Emily, as she has a very practical approach to helping Emily with her Math's, and understood straight away what Emily's basic needs were. We look forward to Jacinta tutoring Emily this year.

The tutoring with Alex is going very well - Sophie is enjoying it and learning too!

MIchael has enjoyed Nathan's tutoring sessions. My son found Nathan's theory far more informative and much clearer then his current maths teacher. Michael connected well with Nathan.

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 St Peters / Sydenham Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tempe High School.
