I believe that the most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is make them feel welcome and build their confidence by acknowledging their progress no matter how small it is. It is also crucial for a tutor to recognize that everyone learns differently and adapt their teaching styles accordingly. Having finished high school just about…

As a biology tutor, I believe it's of utmost relevance to encourage students to ask doubts, enhance their presentation skills and build confidence.

Listen. Every student excels in some ways and does not in others. This emphasises the importance for a biology tutor to present ideas in ways which allow the student to learn them in the most efficient and effective ways. This also ensures that the tutor does not repeat anything the student already knows and identifies what the student has yet to…

I believe that teaching is not about pumping a student with exam papers or to make them memorise the answers and get good grades, for my satisfaction. But about really making sure the student understands a concept, so that they have a strong foundation and can apply to it many different question styles. This will actively stimulate creativity and…

Local Reviews

The maths tutor for my grandson is very helpful and informative and has quickly improved his knowledge of some of the basic mathematical concepts. However last Tuesday my daughter-in - law emailed EZY Mathsat 10am in the morning to inform that my grandson was sick and could not do the tutoring that afternoon. That message was not passed on to the tutor, as i found out at 4.00pm and quickly contacted the tutor. I would suggest that EZyMaths ensures that the student or the parents/ guardians have the tutor's mobile number OR that the email gets to the tutor. Otherwise the service is general good but too much dependence on emails.

Inside GlengowrieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student James worked through practice NAPLAN numeracy questions, focusing on relationships between fractions, decimals and percentages as well as fraction terminology and equivalence.

For Year 10, Sophie tackled simultaneous equations by graphing and substitution methods before moving to graphical solutions of linear relations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Finn focused on statistics—mean, median, mode—and began exploring standard deviation using real-life data sets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4, one student found it difficult to keep track of decimal place value headings—confusing 'hundredths' with 'hundreds' led to errors when recording answers in maths.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student struggled to recall the right formulas for derivatives versus anti-derivatives in calculus; as the tutor put it, "he mixed up the stuff," which slowed problem-solving and created confusion during practice questions.

For a senior student revising statistics, boredom meant less time spent reviewing key formulas, so mistakes lingered from one session to the next.

On another day, forgotten times tables in Year 3 left division word problems unfinished.

Recent Achievements

One Glengowrie tutor recently noticed a shift with Chloe, a Year 10 student who had previously hesitated on worded ratio problems—she now attempts these independently during sessions and solves several without prompting.

In senior secondary, Finn started taking more initiative by tackling most questions in two of his assignments solo after being shown the method just once, contrasting with earlier reliance on step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, Jye in Year 4 has begun bringing home books to show off his spelling lists and writing pieces unprompted, where before he was quiet about his schoolwork; last session he answered literal comprehension questions correctly from "Trampolining".

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 Glenelg Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of Grace School.
