I believe ensuring that a student truly grasps a new concept is the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student. One common way of proving this is to get the student to explain the new concept back to me. This then gives them confidence to tackle more complex problems. I believe my communication skills make me a good tutor. These…

I think it's important for an english tutor to ask their students to think critically and to show encouragement with minor steps. I think patience and repetition are really important for tutors to display to their students. I also think it's important for a tutor to be honest about what they know or don't know. It is okay not to know the answer,…
give them the confidence to undergo the learning process and not feel frustrated by things they don't understand. Everyone can learn, you just need to find the method that suits you best.

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to provide them with that self esteem previously mentioned. I believe if you can empower a student, the sky is the limit.

Inside West BallinaTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Tutor Stephen is a very good tutor and we would like to give him our highest recommendation for a job well done. We would recommend him to any parent who wants their child to improve in Math. Thank you for all your help Stephen and Ezy Math Tutoring.
We have used this organisation for my daughter Stephanie's HSC preparation and she ended up doing outstanding in maths in her HSC.
We engaged your services last week to assist our son, Riley. Within that short time, we're absolutely delighted and extremely impressed with the professionalism of your excellent tutor, Eliran! He is very responsive in his communication with me and has been most co-operative when I wished to match his intervention with that of Riley's school curriculum.
Riley was somewhat anxious of working with a stranger, however within the first 20 minutes of the session Eliran allayed his fears with his ability to quickly establish a positive rapport, sweeping Riley up with his clear expectations of how Riley should behave in a confident manner. Eliran is obviously very competent in his subject matter and explained concepts in a simple and repetitive style.
Riley was faced with a test 2 days after the initial Saturday tutorial and Eliran was most amenable to making a second session at 9am the following Sunday morning, in order to fit in with our needs! Given that this meant Eliran had to travel to our home using 2 modes of public transport, I was extremely impressed with Eliran's commitment to his job and my son. Furthermore, Eliran was also very generous with his time starting and finishing the session 10 minutes before and after the hour had concluded!
I informed Riley that this kind of dedication is not common in every employee and that I was astounded with Eliran's diligent work ethic. I believe this conversation inspired Riley to perform with the similar level of integrity, and it has already paid off!
We all eagerly awaited the outcome of Riley's test and we're absolutely thrilled that he scored a distinction of 79%, rising well above his average performance of 60%!
My husband and I couldn't have wished for a better start, to what we hope will be a long and rewarding relationship with Eliran & Ezymathtutoring!
