A tutor should build a positive, supportive relationship, tailor lessons to the student’s needs, and encourage a growth mindset. My strengths are patience, clear communication, and the ability to break down complex topics into easy-to-understand…

Thats why when teaching them, approach by the way they can accept. Be open-minded. Communication skills Listening to them & Response Active Teacher I don't want to pressure my…

I believe the role of the tutor is to build the basic skills of english comprehension/essay writing to that the student is prepared to tackle any assignment or examination. I do not believe in rote learning but instead on delving deeply into specific issues a student may have with writing and to address them methodically. It is not about the…

The ability to understand a student and their learning style is something I highly value in an english tutor. In school classes where they are often one of many, they may find that the teaching style may not work for them and that they cannot achieve their goals. In a tutoring scenario, we are able to cater to them more specifically, to be…

A factor that I consider to be profound as an english tutor is developing an open and positive environment. I believe it's important for a student to feel that they can communicate with me regarding any matter, and that I'm there to help them as more than just a tutor! To add, another significant factor is organisation and communication. I believe…

I think the most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, create a comfortable space where they feel safe to make mistakes, and adapt their teaching to suit the student’s learning style. A tutor should also encourage positive study habits and help the student become more independent over time, rather…

Tutors must be able to clearly communicate to their students. Clear communication is key to ensure the success of a student. While an english tutor may have great academic intelligence, it will not result in their students' growth, unless the tutor can share it in a manner that the students can use to self improve. I believe clear communication…

I think being able to let the student think for themselves - leading them to the answer, rather than giving it to them. This means that the student is not only better prepared for tests, but they are actively engaging with the learning process. I believe that the approach that I take to my tutoring, where I really make them understand the concepts…

I believe that it is important for an english tutor to llisten to the student and answer all questions that the student asks and if they don't have the answer straight away, to then go and do some research to ensure that they can answer the question thoroughly the next time that they meet with the student. It is essential for a tutor to not only…

Local Reviews

EzyMath tutor sessions have been fabulous for our son. Our regular tutor (as well as an interim tutor) consistently provided a supportive and professional session for him to ask questions and refresh concepts. She certainly helped him stay on track and his grades have improved significantly. Organizing sessions has been easy and payment is smooth. We couldn't fault this service!
Sharon, Balwyn

Inside BalwynTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Emily worked on reading and spelling split digraphs like i_e and a_e, along with guided reading of Fox in Socks.

In Year 10, Daniel focused on solving simultaneous equations and reviewing linear graphs using school worksheets.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah revised polynomial functions and logarithms, tackling real exam-style questions to consolidate her understanding of these advanced algebraic concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student arrived without their calculator or workbook, making it difficult to participate fully in algebra activities—"needed to borrow a pen and missed out on working through examples."

In Year 10, one student left several homework questions incomplete, which meant less time for feedback on their use of formulas.

Another senior student skipped showing steps in trigonometry problems; as noted, "it was hard to spot where mistakes happened."

For a Year 3 learner, mixing up b and d while writing slowed reading fluency.

Each moment added an extra hurdle—sometimes just hunting for tools instead of solving the problem at hand.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Balwyn recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to skip over feedback now pausing to review comments and actively making changes, especially during math problem-solving.

In a senior session, one high schooler who previously relied on prompts is now coming prepared with their own questions and checking their work for accuracy without being asked.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who often guessed words from pictures has started focusing on the actual text—she read an entire Dr Seuss page aloud, segmenting each word herself instead of looking at illustrations for clues.

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 Balwyn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Balwyn Primary School.
