Help him get to ease with the course, make it not feel like a burden but something the pupil has control over, allow him to see his strengths and focus on the knowledge he is gaining from it, and how he can benefit from it.

Identifying a student's weaknesses and strengths not only in a subject but in their general approach to life is very important. Honing strengths and working on weaknesses will allow tutors to tap into a student's potential. Deeply considering how and why a student is performing the way they are is also very important and allows changes to be made.…

As tutors, we should provide a safe space for students that would make them realise that it is okay to make a mistake. Next, we should also make students feel that they can achieve their academic goals. Continuously giving them positive feedback is helpful as well because it would motivate them to work harder. And lastly, as tutors, we should…

Inside WhalanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Sidney worked on recognising and ordering three-digit numbers, skip counting by twos, threes, and fives using number charts, and identifying the value of Australian coins through hands-on money activities.

Year 10 student Jessica tackled simplifying surds and converting between index form and surd form, then expanded her skills to include rationalising denominators in algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ryan focused on consumer arithmetic—specifically calculating compound interest and monthly repayments—as well as applying formulas for simple interest in real-world contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student sometimes rushed into answering maths questions before fully reading instructions, such as confusing the minute hand position when telling time or mixing up number sequences.

As one tutor put it, "she was eager to step in and get the answer, but didn't always check what the question wanted."

In senior years, a Year 11 student repeatedly relied on practicing familiar surds problems instead of tackling harder exam-style questions; this led to less confidence with unfamiliar formats during revision.

When content wasn't fully reviewed or practiced, knowledge gaps lingered right before tests.

Recent Achievements

One Whalan tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to get stuck simplifying surds; now, after some targeted practice, she can convert between surd and power form and even rationalise denominators without prompting.

Another high school student, previously hesitant with expanding brackets, surprised the tutor by gaining speed and choosing more challenging examples on her own.

Meanwhile, Sidney in Year 2 moved from needing counting charts for decade counting to confidently spotting number patterns solo within just one session—she even tackled Stage 2 test questions that were originally planned for older students.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

The biggest accomplishment any math tutor can have (myself including) is seeing the student progress, knowing that they understand and have the confidence to complete any task/question without fear. The key skills I got from math tutoring is being able to effectively communicate in a mentor manner. This is an essential skill for progression in almost every career path, as most careers will require you to train a new colleague, manage a team, or oversee a project, etc. I would strongly recommend Ezy math tutoring to anyone, they are professionals who strive to achieve the goals each student has in progressing towards understanding mathematics. 20th July 2012

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

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 Mt Druitt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Madang Avenue Public School.
