A tutor can first start by welcoming their student and getting to know them in order to make them feel comfortable and relaxed. This will make it easier for the tutor to better understand the student, but also easier for the student to freely ask questions. As well as holding the ability to teach, a maths tutor must have patience. Being a good…

First and foremost, the tutor needs to help the student fully understand all the core concepts.

After that comes exam or test-specific advice: what working markers expect, how to…

Whilst a tutor should also be avaliable,…

My son Logan McDonald has been having tutoring with Sunny for the past few months. We have found Sunny to be very professional in his manner and has taught Logan some valuable studying skills as well as some necessary maths concepts.

Inside The PatchTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel worked on area and perimeter calculations, practiced addition and subtraction with larger numbers, and reinforced times tables using flashcards for recall.

In Year 10, Vien focused on planning a practice essay by developing ideas and a main argument to strengthen her persuasive writing skills.

For Year 11, Tanya revised algebraic fractions and prepared for an upcoming SAC by correcting homework errors and working through practice content relevant to linear algebra topics.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student preparing for essay writing often left planning until the last minute, resulting in rushed introductions and weak conclusions—"he needs to plan his writing faster," a tutor observed.

In VCE English, one student avoided revisiting challenging literary analysis questions, instead sticking to familiar topics, which meant deeper techniques weren't practiced or reviewed before SACs.

For Year 7 Maths, forgetting to label diagrams led to lost marks under test conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student skipped homework practice on exam-style questions; this made recall during assessments much slower and less confident.

Recent Achievements

One tutor in The Patch noticed a big shift for Vien (Year 10): after initially struggling to write clear paragraphs, he could spot the difference in his second attempt and took pride in editing it himself.

In Year 8 maths, Daniel started out unsure of his times tables but now works through multiplication problems with only minimal prompting and is much quicker at recalling answers.

Meanwhile, during a recent Year 3 English session, Tanya—who was once hesitant—read aloud willingly and chatted comfortably about herself for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

My biggest accomplishment: Great kid in grade 4, energetic and fun to tutor, although lacked concentration and confidence in maths. I showed him simple maths tricks that no curriculum teaches (e.g. how to figure out 11 times tables to any number). He understood it well, but the biggest boost he had was the confidence he got from knowing something the other kids didn't. He started to enjoy maths a lot more and his scores and attitude improved. His care givers were very happy about it. I got a big kick from steering him in the right direction and I hope he carries on this confidence in all his endevours. With Ezy Math, what I felt was great were the weekly tutoring tips/themes. It helped a lot in knowing that there are many different approaches to many different kids' habits/attitudes (e.g. as above, just confidence boosting can greatly improve a child's performance). It was also great in having that as a tool to keep in touch and keep learning as the job progresses. 21st July 2012

Ezy Math Tutoring is a company that I would comfortably work with again as it provided me with the opportunity to work with students commited to improving in the classroom. Ezy Math Tutoring is not only a company that aims to help students with their mathematics but goes above and beyond to help clients with their general student careers, through the Continuing Education Program modules that tutors are asked to go through with their students on a regular basis. I liked the purpose they served. Ezy Math Tutoring finds great importance in informing the parents about their childs progress. The monthly progress reports help busy parents keep up to date with the work being covered and the overall progress of their child, which was the main attraction for me. If you are seeking a professional service that provides results I would highly reccomend Ezy Math Tutoring to any of the parents and prospective tutors out there. 22nd July 2012

Ezy Math Tutoring provided me with a lot of support, resources and training during my time working for them. I found teaching the students very rewarding and seeing the improvement in results really made it worth it. I would definitely recommend Ezy Math Tutoring for both prospective clients and fellow tutors as each will benefit greatly from this service. 23rd July 2012

Maths tutoring in The Patch

We have all had the experience of a "bad teacher" and we know it's not pleasant. Often the teacher is simply a bad match for that particular student rather than being a "bad teacher" in general but in either case the student has a serious problem. This is why many parents contact us for a private tutor - their child just can't "get it" when their teacher is teaching.

It's incredible how one explanation results in more confusion whereas another results in that "aha" feeling we all love so much! It is really a matter of getting the "right" tutor and not the "best" one. We see this every day in our work. A tutor might have hundreds of hours of experience and might have received dozens of testimonials from students, however, even such a tutor doesn't click with all students. Every tutor gets bad feedback sometimes. It's all about getting the right fit and this is what we do!

We will organise a 1-on-1 maths tutor in The Patch to come to your home at a time of your choosing. They will be a local The Patch maths tutor so scheduling lessons will be easy. Also, no booking fees, no minimum terms, no cancellation costs, no nonsense! And here's the best thing: your first lesson is a trial. So if you feel that the tutor wasn't a good fit, we'll organise someone else. It's our Good Fit Guarantee.

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 Monbulk Reading Room—or at your child's school (with permission), like The Patch Primary School.
