Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Seeing progress with my students over the course of a lesson/multiple lessons. It feels amazing seeing your efforts pay off and your student slowly grasping the concepts, and working out the problems, thanks to your help and their own efforts as well.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Establishing good rapport with students. I have spent quite a bit of time volunteering with children and I feel that my personality and ability to interact with younger people make it very easy for me to get along with them, and I would have no problem establishing rapport with my students as part of Ezy Math Tutoring.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The ability to explain concepts and solutions to problems in a way that the student can understand. What can look very simple to us can seem like a foreign language to our students, so the skill to break these down and make the student believe that what just looked impossible to them is actually very doable is invaluable as a tutor.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Ricardo
Experienced Volunteer Tutor with Real Classroom KnowHow
Ricardo brings hands-on tutoring experience from working with students in Years 7–9 who could not afford formal tutoring. In this role he helps with homework, explains tricky concepts step by step, and supports students to build confidence over several school terms. He is used to working with mixed-ability groups and adapting explanations on the spot. Parents can expect a tutor who already understands how school-aged students think, learn, and stay engaged over time.
Strong Communication and English Support for Diverse Learners
As a volunteer program leader supporting international students with their English, Ricardo regularly helps learners improve speaking, listening, reading, and everyday language skills. This experience has sharpened his ability to break down grammar and vocabulary in simple, practical ways. He is patient with questions and good at encouraging shy students to participate. This tutor is particularly well-suited to children who need clear explanations, extra language support, or a calm boost to their communication skills.
Nutrition Educator Who Makes Learning Practical and Relatable
Ricardo is studying a Masters in Dietetics and has assisted nutritionists in delivering nutrition and cooking sessions in schools. He is comfortable presenting to classes, managing groups, and turning theory into fun, real-life activities. This background means he naturally weaves practical examples, visuals, and everyday scenarios into his teaching. He enjoys getting students talking, asking “why”, and linking what they learn in English or other subjects to topics they care about, helping lessons feel meaningful rather than abstract.

Ethan is very good at his 2x tables and has essentially memorized it, so when it came to the final test he blitzed through the questions related to those times tables, as well as a few of the 3x tables ones. He understands the concept of using previous questions to help speed up answering future ones (e.g. if the answers are very close) which is good that he understands that concept.
Ethan oscillates between being very confident and very unmotivated in answering questions he is not 100% on. When it came to the final test, after quickly going through the questions he knew for sure, it took quite a bit of prompting to get him to answer those last few questions, but during our time with the 'popping' toy he would constantly come up with answers (even though it did amount to guessing sometimes) which I hope is an attitude he can continue to carry throughout our sessions as well as his studies.

Over the course of writing this story, it is clear that Berry has taken my feedback to heart and she wrote a lot more words compared to yesterday where she did speak quite a bit. When I pointed out where the errors she made were at, she did not even need me to say specifically what it was, she identified them quickly and fixed them promptly after that little nudge from me.
If I had to be picky, Berry still does struggle a bit with when to use 'where' and 'were' and she mixed up the two a number of times during our session today.

Like last time we did this topic, she is skilled at this topic and when she managed to focus, she was able to answer the questions very quickly and without much trouble at all.
Through my time tutoring Cleo, I have found that the best way for Cleo to focus is by having her start off with a couple of min break to play some games while I set up then for me to coordinate her work by looking at my laptop screen and with me holding the mouse, as so far any other setup will involve her finding multiple ways to try and distract herself from doing the work.

During her usual break to start things off she actually used it to read something off Toy Theatre which was quite surprising to see as she usually reserves it for games. Considering the text I got her to read was at a yr 4 level, I was pleased to see how well she understood it and she answered the provided questions near instantly after reading the text. She is also really good at remembering how to say a word she is not familiar with after being taught it just once.
She did seem quite unmotivated to read the text in spite of how well she did it and it took a little convincing to find a text that she was happy to read, but this is understandable considering it was a Friday and it was our second lesson in a row after Thursday.
