Software Dev Tutor Churchill, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to remember their position when they were at their student's age, the difficulties they faced while learning and sharing their experiences with passion to their students so they do not have to face such difficulties while learning. My strengths which may be beneficial as a tutor are…

Software Dev Tutor Woodend, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do isn't just to lead them to the right answers but help them build confidence and self-motivation. As a tutor, I aim to help students develop independence. For me, a successful teacher is someone who can guide students to no longer needing one. I am quick to identify the strengths and weaknesses of students…

Local Reviews

Our student is very happy with her tutor's in-depth explanations. I am very happy with EzyMath's clear information, quick responses, and the well-organised and responsive tutor provided within a few days of making the request. The monthly report is detailed and clear, and gaps in general study skills are being filled, which will help with all subjects.

Inside RipleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Amelia focused on telling time to the quarter hour and practiced subtraction with borrowing using number lines.

For Year 10, Issy worked on differentiating arithmetic versus geometric sequences and applying these in context-based exam questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James revised perpetuities and annuities (including recursive models), then explored planar graphs, Euler's formula, and their applications through graphing exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student in Mathematics Methods struggled to identify and track key variables when building reducing balance loan models—"she mixed up which values went where," as one tutor noted. This led to confusion during complex multi-step questions, especially under exam-style conditions.

In Year 8, a student's written work for worded problems became hard to follow due to inconsistent layout; this made it difficult for her to check answers or find errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner avoided showing working on skip counting tasks, hesitating out of fear of making mistakes. Confidence wavered after setbacks with long division.

Recent Achievements

One Ripley tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rely heavily on prompts is now independently working through complex reducing balance loan and annuity problems, confidently picking out key information herself.

In another session, a Year 9 student who previously hesitated with bivariate data questions is now attempting unfamiliar problems independently, showing clear initiative.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who would often guess the time rather than ask for help has started using an interactive clock tool and now checks her answers out loud before moving on.

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 Ipswich Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ripley Central State School.
