Awesome tutor. Calm. Listens. Speaks well and most importantly knows what she is talking about and delivers this information in a way my daughter understands and can learn from. Could not be happier. Thanks Ezymath for finding us a great tutor.Ebony Tkocz
Year 4 Taiya worked on spelling words, practised subtraction with borrowing, and reviewed multiplication and division using worded questions.
Year 9 Vien focused on brainstorming ideas and developing a main argument for a practice English essay.
Meanwhile, Year 10 Riley completed revision of probability concepts and tackled questions involving pie charts and basic statistics.
During recent senior revision sessions, several Year 12 students did not complete assigned homework or practice exam questions—one tutor noted, "The homework needs to be completed," as gaps remained in probability and tree diagram practice.
In Year 11 English, a student struggled with essay planning, often jumping straight to one idea without "thinking big picture" for broader responses.
Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner hesitated to take up feedback after setbacks in maths; motivation dipped when subtraction with carrying was introduced. This led to unfinished worksheets and reluctance to attempt new question types during the lesson itself.
One Cockatoo tutor noticed a real shift with Vien, a high school student who initially struggled to organise essays—now he's brainstorming relevant ideas independently and can clearly explain improvements between drafts.
Another older student surprised himself by recalling details from earlier in the year during a quiz, confidently answering questions and even summarising his SAC responses without prompting.
At primary level, Evie used to say "I don't know" when stuck on new words, but now she tries to sound them out each time before asking for help. Last week, she read an entire passage aloud without hesitation.
