I believe the most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is make the tutoring session interactive and fun. By having a fun and interactive tutoring session, the student will have a greater chance of retaining the information shared in the lesson. It also keeps the student from being bored, causing them to not take in any…

Tutors are expected to bolster student grades however this is not their true purpose, A tutor should help to develop students to not only achieve greater marks but also to have a greater understanding of the field they are being tutored in.

It is very important as a biology tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching.…

Inside ThorngateTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava practised skip counting and worked on structuring clear sentences for English.

In Year 9, Ethan focused on Pythagoras' Theorem and calculating the circumference of circles using step-by-step diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Grace revised indices and surds, strengthening her understanding of both simplifying expressions with powers and working through related textbook problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Maths, one student relied heavily on a calculator for even basic arithmetic, slowing progress in algebra as noted: "Student needs to work on mental arithmetic as they rely on calculator too much."

During Year 11 Probability, another hesitated when textbook problems became more complex than standard practice drills—requiring additional explanation and after-lesson follow-up by email.

In Year 7, a reluctance to write working for division unless questions were laid out neatly led to confusion if the format changed. Each moment reflected a process block rather than lack of understanding; anxiety or formatting issues shaped how the task was tackled.

Recent Achievements

One Thorngate tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to tackle complex area questions now breaking down irregular shapes into rectangles and triangles on her own, using the right formulas without prompting.

In a senior session, a Year 12 student who used to get stuck on surds and powers started expanding brackets accurately after targeted practice, asking for extra examples instead of avoiding tough questions.

Meanwhile, in primary sessions, one younger student began reciting times tables aloud without relying on charts—she now asks for harder problems and completes them with growing speed each week.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Ezy Math tutoring gave me an invaluable opportunity and experience. With fortnightly advice, support and materials I was able to give my all to my students. The reward being an invaluable satisfaction when the mother heard from my students' teacher that her work was really improving. I really enjoyed the experience and always left the students feeling like I had made a change. For prospective tutors I would say Ezy Maths is a great place to work, they provide plenty of materials, support and the staff are very co-operative and understanding about your needs

Matt was excellent, he helped Josh immensely. I only wish we had started earlier. I now know who to come to for my other two children. Thank you.

Paul is very pleased with Peter's tutoring style and he feels he is making progress as he recently sat a math test and did better than previously. Paul is being better motivated by Peter and as Peter explains it , Paul feels he understands concepts better. Thank you.

Biology tutoring in Thorngate

It's not hard to understand why students choose to learn biology. Numerous careers start by learning those fundamental principles in high school, and even if they don't pursue a career in a related field - the knowledge is invaluable for life. 

Knowing the basics can make a student's life easier, both in a personal and professional setting, yet even educators agree - biology is currently poorly covered in schools. So it comes as no surprise students often end up needing help to get ahead.
