I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be understanding of the student and the student's circumstances and best adapt to the student's schedule and learning method. I think that the tutor must learn to adapt to how the student studies and learns and try to find the best method or technique that will help the…

Ensure that if they are facing significant challenges with a specific topic, that they maintain a growth mindset, and do not orient their attitude to one of self-defeat.

I think being positive and encouraging is the best thing a tutor can do. With previous students I have tutored, I found that many of them lacked the confidence in themselves, making them less interested in the work and anxious about assessments. But breaking the question/concept down, encouraging them to try, suggesting different methods to…

I believe a tutor's duty is not to necessarily improve the intellectual capability of their client, but rather, guide them in a way that allows them to harness their own learning potential through customised, carefully tailored programs specific to the individual. Whilst this may not necessarily be viable for every circumstance, it is the role of…

While having a strong foundational knowledge of the subjects is important, I believe communication skills, patience and a drive to learn is what makes a good tutor. As a tutor, you have to have an abundance of patience because you are trying to assist with a concept they have previously struggled with, and hence may have convinced themselves they…

The actual academics itself, while being at the core of the tutoring, is not the most valuable aspect. From my experience, most students do not have the care or respect for their instructors, and mutual respect in particular is essential, because mutual trust is otherwise close to impossible for many people. You must find a balance between being…

The most important thing is to understand the students misconceptions and how to correct the cause of that misconception. To ensure that their fundamental knowledge is corrected before pursuing more complex tasks. It is also essentially to show empathy and respect so they may respect you back and try their best for you. I am empathetic and…

EzyMath have been great. Good communicators and they listen to what the student requires. Any small issues we have had, have been dealt with promptly.

Inside YatalaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Zara explored statistics, focusing on calculating mean, median, mode, and range using class examples.

In Year 8, Aiden worked through algebraic expressions and practiced solving equations for x with step-by-step guidance.

For Year 10, Sam revised trigonometry concepts such as angles of elevation and depression and tackled converting between degrees and DMS to strengthen his understanding ahead of upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student did not complete his assigned maths homework or make progress on a major assignment; "he has not made any attempts to the assignment yet."

This led to confusion with rounding and over-reliance on previous examples instead of independent practice.

In senior high school, one student relied heavily on formula sheets for quadratic equations but hesitated to write answers without checking, which slowed exam performance.

A Year 3 student was noticeably distracted when working through subtraction problems—requiring written questions to stay engaged.

The unfinished work often meant class time was spent revisiting basics rather than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Yatala noticed that a Year 10 student, who had previously hesitated to ask for help, now confidently asks questions and explains her reasoning during algebra sessions—she even completed all tasks without reminders.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student initially struggled with percentages but, after practicing visual analogies, tackled every quiz question with ease and started attempting new problems independently.

In a recent primary session, two younger students who once waited for guidance began insisting on solving time-related questions first by themselves before asking the tutor to check their answers.

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 Beenleigh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Warren Park State School.
