Ezymaths were very professional and helpful. They are excellent at communicating, offering written or verbal advice, updates, payment notices etc. Even when our first tutor didn't quite suit my child, they arranged a second more suitable one within days. It's great that they come to you and fit with your schedule even when things change.Kelli, Donvale
Year 5 student Daniel worked on converting fractions to decimals and percentages, along with simplifying using the distributive law.
For Year 9, Chloe focused on solving linear equations and simultaneous equations, using step-by-step algebraic techniques to prepare for an upcoming assessment.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia tackled quadratic equations by calculating discriminants and applying the quadratic formula, as well as simplifying surds and indices in practice problems.
A Year 11 Physics student, when facing unfamiliar exam formats, often relied on long-term memory rather than recent practice—this led to slower responses and missed details ("Kirill elected to answer some questions based on long term memory, resulting in slower exam taking").
In Year 9 Mathematics, a student struggled with rearranging equations due to not consistently using pen and paper for working steps, which made tracking errors harder.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner avoided expanding on her writing plan, so stories remained brief and underdeveloped.
These patterns meant time was lost untangling misunderstandings or revisiting unfinished work instead of building new skills.
A tutor in Park Orchards noticed that a Year 11 student, previously hesitant to ask for help, now actively raises questions during sessions when confused—especially while tackling complex matrix topics.
Another high schooler who used to make frequent errors on quantitative exam questions recently completed a full test much faster and with almost no mistakes, showing real improvement in both speed and accuracy.
In the younger years, one Year 3 student has started independently checking her writing for punctuation errors before moving on—a big shift from needing constant reminders in earlier lessons.
