The most important thing a tutor can do for a s student is to be able to identify what they are struggling with and work with the students in such a way, for the students to conclude the answer by themselves. From my experiences with working working with children at Vinnies and helping them with reading and math as well as tutoring younger members…

I think prioritizing students’ confidence establishment. When I was tutoring one Year 5 boy in Shanghai, I helped the boy to rebuild his confidence clarifying the knowledge structure and outlining every day possible targets with an interactive approach. The boy began to be vigorous in his studies and he scored 93/100 from 70/100 in his final.…

The most important thing for a tutor is to understand their student.

For example, one of my students in the past learnt best…

A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner.

Inside WatsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Mia worked on converting between units of measurement (including kilometres, metres, and hectares) and practiced division alongside introducing index notation.

In Year 9, Ethan focused on applying index laws for multiplication and division of powers with the same base, as well as simplifying expressions using these rules.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Alex revised conditional probability with Venn diagrams and tree diagrams, practicing how to calculate probabilities of combined events and complementary outcomes.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often relied heavily on notes and formula sheets when solving algebra problems, rarely writing out full working—"Needs to write working out down," as one tutor observed. This habit led to confusion between addition and multiplication in expressions like 3x versus 3 + x, causing repeated errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student frequently left multiplication table homework incomplete or forgot books at school; only half of assigned work was submitted for several weeks. As a result, important foundational skills remained patchy and test revision sessions were spent relearning basics instead of consolidating new material.

Recent Achievements

One Watson tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who had previously needed reminders for algebraic expansion—this week, after just one prompt, he expanded several bracketed expressions almost independently.

A high school student working on probability was able to use a double table effectively to solve intersection problems without any help, showing new self-reliance compared to past sessions.

In primary years, another student who once hesitated to work alone completed all multiplication and subtraction problems with only minimal assistance and even started tackling simple fractions on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Lauren has only had a couple of sessions with Nirvan but the benefits were instant & she has really valued his tutoring which has given her more confidence in her capabilities as well. Nirvan seems an exceptional young man & his polite manner & tutoring style are a credit to him. We have been very pleased with the quality, prompt & ease of arrangements & would like to utilise your services again next year.

So far we are pretty happy with Daniel and his enthusiastic and focused approach. I think Cleo feels very comfortable with him and he has been able to help her manage her work load and advancing slowly to re gain her confidence. He has a lovely mature manner, a very likeable guy.

I have loved the opportunity to work for EzyMath over this past year and have really valued the experiences and skills I have developed over my time as a tutor.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Majura Primary School.
