I think establishing a relationship is important. If you know the student then you will understand how they learn best and they will also trust you in return and feel that it is okay to make mistakes. I enjoy making lessons as creative and engaging as I can to keep student interest. I always talk to my students and greatly value their input into…

I strongly believe that tutor are in a position, where they can not only help the student with solving a problem, but also build their confidence so that they become confident in solving any type of problems independently. It is also about teaching them how to approach a question instead of giving them the answers. For example, helping them to…

I believe the most important thing which a tutor can do for a student is not only teach them what they need to know but teach them the skills which they need to succeed on their own. I believe this because although a tutor can help with their learning, they can't be there every single step of the way, especially after high school. These skills…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be there for them and understand their strengths as well as weaknesses. Not all students will be great at every subject however, that does not mean that there is no chance to improve or work harder. Working on a subject with the right help can increase the confidence, which will slowly lead…

A tutor can explain the main concept, however,the related questions must be solved by the student itself as it promotes the concept of self-learning.

Local Reviews

I'm a returning customer and I've been so thrilled with the ease of using EzyMaths and the results have been wonderful! I last used it Teo years ago to help my son who was failing and then made it to the top of the year level. Recently my international student was failing maths but in a few short weeks she passed well enough to meet her academic needs. Thank you!

Inside BurtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Amelia revised calculating the area of kites and irregular shapes, as well as basic perimeter concepts.

Year 8 Archie focused on simplifying ratios and times tables, then reviewed BIDMAS and fractions after receiving test feedback.

For Year 9 Suhana, recent lessons included trigonometry with a focus on finding triangle sides, plus a science session covering DNA, mitosis, meiosis, evolution, and natural selection in preparation for her upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student tackling Pythagoras' Theorem hesitated to identify triangle sides and rarely talked through problems, as a tutor observed: "She tends to say 'I don't know' easily and doesn't verbalize her thinking." This silence made it tough to spot where confusion began, especially when rearranging equations.

In Year 11, one learner worked through composite area questions but forgot to back-check answers unless prompted—missing units or operations in multi-step tasks.

During a Year 5 session, another student frequently rushed subtraction without borrowing properly, leading to avoidable errors that slowed progress on larger calculations.

Recent Achievements

A Burton tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student who used to rush through maths without checking her work is now in the habit of backchecking and caught all errors herself on a recent set of questions.

Another high school student, working on science, took more initiative by showing her draft SHE task for feedback—something she hadn't done before—and made improvements based on suggestions.

For a younger learner, regular sessions have helped him concentrate for longer stretches and he now traces numbers up to 20 with fewer mistakes; last week he filled in missing numbers up to 20 almost entirely independently.

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