A tutor should be patient, adapt to the student’s needs, encourage critical thinking, and make learning engaging, helping the student develop a strong understanding of the subject." "My strengths…

English Tutor Bellbowrie, QLD
I think the single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them develop an intrinsic passion for the content they study, and to assist them in finding methods of learning that make it easier for them to learn. I would rather not spoon-feed answers unless it is absolutely necessary, and would rather a student think critically…

The important thing that a tutor can provide for a student is a relaxed learning environment. When students are comfortable with owning up to their mistakes and they trust that their tutor will quickly identify the problem and take them through it at their desired pace, then they will be more motivated and appreciative of help in the future. I'm a…

Being able to explain concepts well to a student is arguably the most important thing. The best tutors are those who can explain and teach challenging ideas with relative ease in a short period of time because they have such good interpersonal skills. I believe my greatest strength is personal interaction with the student, and the ability to…

To ensure that learning is engaging, and independent but with support so that they can grow in confidence and require less assistance in their learning. Another important thing a tutor can do is ensure that the mental health of students are prioritised as this plays a large role in their enthusiasm to study and in a larger part of their life. My…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them to figure out the answers on their own rather than showing them the answers. As the quote goes " Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you've fed him for a lifetime." My strengths as a tutor would be the ability to break down complex…

1) Intuition. As i talked about previously, real world motives for each problem is a clever way to potentially get a student to develop an appreciation (and some motivation) for the given math problem. 2) Attitude. It's important that the student realizes that getting questions right all the time isn't what makes you good at math. It's about…

Listen. Good listening skill is a must. Because it may be the only chance that the student is willing to share with an adult what is really going on. I find sometimes comprehending the texts or the assignments are not student's weakest areas. It may be a case when the student has questions such as "how do I write a report?" or "what is a PEEL…

I also realise that while I enjoy learning and find it easy to…

Local Reviews

The EzyMath team has been very easy to work with - our tutor is very punctual, proactive, polite, flexible, and my child has been enjoying her lessons! She has been picking up new concepts and her confidence has increased! The online team has also been great, in particular their communication is excellent (they are prompt to reply to emails and check in regularly). I am really happy overall with the service they are providing.

Inside AnsteadTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Cara practised division and multiplication with fractions, worked on visualising times tables using dominos, and tackled strategies for the 6x and 10x tables.

In Year 10, Lilly focused on solving simultaneous equations by both substitution and elimination methods, then moved to matrices practice and equivalent equations.

Meanwhile, Sanvi in Year 11 covered chemistry topics including VSEPR theory and intermolecular forces using diagrams, while also revising Math Methods concepts like differentiation rules (product, quotient, chain) and graphing exponential functions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student preparing for calculus exams often skipped setting out full working, especially with chain rule and integration questions; as a tutor noted, "needs to improve communication and setting out of certain questions." This made it hard to spot where reasoning faltered in worded problem-solving tasks.

In Year 9 maths, another student hesitated to write down their steps when tackling long division or multi-step equations—jotting partial thoughts but not the process, which limited feedback opportunities and sometimes left them unsure about how mistakes occurred.

After missed homework sheets during holidays, catching up felt overwhelming and led to incomplete revision before tests.

Recent Achievements

One Anstead tutor noticed a big shift in Sanvi (Year 12) as she's now starting her chemistry assignments early, applying concepts from previous lessons to new problems, and has become noticeably more independent when tackling derivatives and integration—she attempted every question on her practice exam without waiting for hints.

In Year 7 maths, Lilly gave each question an honest try before asking for help, which is a change from earlier sessions where she'd often wait for guidance right away. Lilly tried every question first.

Meanwhile, Cara (Year 4) finally got all her times tables correct by memory and chose to tackle the harder conversion questions between decimals, percentages, and fractions. Cara mastered her times tables.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pullenvale State School.
