I think an essential thing a tutor can do for their student is be empathetic! Often, for teachers, its hard to understand what students are feeling, since school and lifestyle has changed from the time they were students to now (in a global pandemic). Therefore, being an tutor who displays empathy about understanding what its like being a student…

A tutor MUST make the student comfortable with their learning by building a friendship with them, so that they always want to return to EZY Math Tutoring. A tutor must also put aside everything else in their life to assist the student: even if I have a bad day I cannot let that lessen my performance while teaching the student. Finally, a tutor…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is reassure them that it is perfectly normal to not understand a topic straight away. Tutors must make sure that students are not ashamed of needing help, and do not feel 'stupid' or 'dumb' for not understanding. I am a very patient person who is good at listening. When I am in a tutoring role…

1. A tutor can shape how a student thinks about a particular topic/subject. If while teaching something the tutor himself/herself is not interested then the student will be less likely to pay 100% attention 2.

Our modern world is built around education and every student can expect to experience a lot of it in the future. Therefore, it is most important that a tutor should model genuine interest in learning (both the subject matter and how to learn well), so that the student him/herself enjoys the process and is encouraged to become a lifelong learner.…

Inside Flagstaff HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ben focused on trigonometry basics and solving linear equations using clear step-by-step examples.

In Year 10, Jessica worked through expanding and factorising algebraic expressions as well as applying the laws of indices to simplify problems.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Daniel tackled advanced calculus topics including logarithmic and exponential differentiation, and practiced finding the equation of a tangent line using derivatives from first principles.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Methods, one student often condensed multi-step trigonometry questions into a single line, which made it hard to locate errors when reviewing. If he made a mistake somewhere, troubleshooting became very difficult.

In Year 9 algebra, another student's written work lacked structure and clear working, so sign errors or factorisation missteps weren't visible for correction.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 specialist student hesitated to ask for more paper during an exam and ran out of space; this limited their ability to show full solutions. In each case, crucial steps went unseen—and important feedback was missed.

Recent Achievements

One Flagstaff Hill tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip writing out her working now consistently details every step when solving derivatives, leading to fewer errors and more accurate answers.

In a recent Year 8 session, a student who had previously hesitated to ask for help started initiating questions with the teacher and included a proper bibliography in his assignment—something he'd never attempted before.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4, who once guessed at multiplication problems silently, now talks through each calculation aloud and checks her own carrying of numbers without prompting.

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 Aberfoyle Park (The Hub) Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Flagstaff Hill Primary School.
