My aim is to not just make my students pass exams; but to go above and beyond in their learning to surpass what they thought was possible. I strive to create an atmosphere of joy and inspiration, whilst encouraging perseverance and direction for a student in their studies. Most importantly, I support my students to create a vision of who they want…

The most important thing is to make sure that the student doesn't feel overwhelmed with their workload, and instead has fun (or at least doesn't detest the time spent) while studying. In this regard, the tutor has to make the content interesting and tailor it to each individual if it's one-on-one. I'm very patient in explaining concepts. I also…

The most important thing a math tutor can do for a student is help them build confidence. From my experience, most students understand math but are afraid of it. Being scared of math makes it more likely for students to make mistakes. My HSC maths teacher used to say that to be able to understand mathematics, one must understand the basics of it…

The most important thing for a tutor to do for a student is providing as much information as they can. Answer their questions, solve their problems, and make sure that they really understand the material. I am a very good listener. When a student is facing difficulty, I believe the problem is communication. Talk to them and try to find out what is…

A tutor can transform a student's life by helping them become more confident in their academic career, which inevitably improves general confidence. Further, a tutor provides mentoring and coaching as experts in their field which a student can carry with them beyond school, ensuring they are set up for success in their chosen field. I believe a…

Empathy is key. If a tutor can show how learning certain topics can help a student in the future, it keeps the student's interest held in the subject for longer. What really helps is to periodically give some positive feedback to the student about their progress - how he or she has improved in the past 3 months, or month, for example. Because of…

The most important thing to me is creating the networks for students to think for and teach themselves whenever our time is up. It's the classic saying, "give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for his whole life". A tutor should, like any good teacher, provide the student with the tools to critically evaluate…

To my point of view, there are two most important thing that a tutor needs to do for a student. The first one is knowledge, because it it more useful if the tutor explains the problems and give only suggestions, directions to the student rather than just simply provide the student with the answer. That question will not appear exactly the same in…

Maintain a positive attitude, take away the stress from learning, guide them and restructure their approach to studying when they come across roadblocks.

EzyMath Tutoring has been a wonderful experience for us. It was easy to organise in my busy schedule and convenient as the tutor comes to us at time that works. My son connected with his tutor from the get go and it was great to know EziMath Tutoring are always supportive with any questions I had. I thought the fees were very reasonable.

Inside TamaramaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Paolo worked on differentiating equations to find stationary points and applied the product, quotient, and chain rules to various functions, as well as tackling definite and indefinite integration for area under curves.

Year 10 lessons with Emily included graphing trigonometric functions using the unit circle and breaking down formulas like Asin(nx+b)+C, plus exploring properties of cubics and hyperbolas through hands-on graphing exercises.

For a Year 8 student, recent sessions focused on mean, median, range, and interquartile range in statistics, alongside algebraic simplification involving unknowns in denominators.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly arrived without completed homework, so lesson time was diverted to catching up rather than advancing ("homework from the previous week could not be checked as he could not find it").

In Year 11, a student avoided writing out working in unit conversion problems—opting to show only final answers. As a tutor noted, "he is only providing a final answer which is bad practice," making it hard to pinpoint misunderstandings and reinforce correct methods.

For another senior student, relying on memorizing steps instead of understanding (conversion tasks) meant new question types felt unfamiliar and slowed progress during revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Tamarama tutor noticed Jessy, a senior student, finally connecting tricky calculus concepts—after previously struggling with the product and quotient rules, she completed several differentiation questions independently, even handling inverse trig functions for the first time.

In another session, Tobey (Year 9) demonstrated a clear shift: he used to need step-by-step help with ratio word problems but now solves financial maths questions on his own and checks his work for errors without prompting.

Meanwhile, Lucas made tangible progress in algebra; after reviewing past mistakes on an exam paper together, he corrected every solution himself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

The one on one tutoring is definitely assisting Caitlin for Maths. She is seeing a slight improvement and beginning to understand topics in more depth. She is building rapport with Bernadeine; so all is going well at this stage.

Cara is very happy with Ishwarya as her tutor. They have an easy, productive working relationship already after only three weeks, Cara was comfortable with Ishwarya after the first week.

William is excited as he is learning more with Bailey than with his math's teacher. Baileys methods are easy to follow and very helpful. Bailey is always on time and puts in 110%. After every session, you can see the smile on William's face and his new found confidence. We are very impressed and very lucky to have Bailey tutor William.

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 Waverley Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bondi Public School.
