I think the most important thing is not only being decent at explaining and individually creating a good tutoring plan for the student but also to be empathetic. Without empathy, the student will not feel like the tutor understands their struggles and is truly trying to help them. Apart from showing them that understanding and kindly communicating…

Some of the most important things, I believe, a tutor can do for a student are provide the student with the comfort that it is alright to make mistakes and it is the learning from them is what is important. Every student is different and it is the responsibility of the tutor to convey themselves in a way which caters to their understanding. It is…

The tutor can change the life of a student. A tutor is like a mentor for any student. Teacher teach concepts but the tutor makes sure that the student understands how to apply that concept. I had a great tutor during my primary school who helped me to understand what is the purpose of my life and what is the goal of my life. I want to set a great…

I believe that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to allow the student to feel free to ask questions and to query explanations. This way, it allows for me to answer their initial query as well as giving me the opportunity to proactively infer other areas that they may not completely understand. My strengths are centred…

A tutor should strive in revelaling different perspectives in a world they can intuitively grasp. This engages the student in learning and fuels their passion in learning and adaptation in cascading for the next level.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to step back wherever they can.

Tutoring is about guidance, as opposed to metaphorically holding a…

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.
