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. A tutor can empower the student to learn better and at their own pace. Just letting the student know that it is okay if you take more time…

I think one of the most important things is for the tutor to be understanding and listen to the student's problems to be able to grasp what they are struggling with and aid them effectively. It is also useful for the tutor to build a good relationship with the student to help increase their strengths in learning and incorporate their interests I…

Make the student feel safe is number one and to inspire a love for learning is the goal! Ensuring that the tutor presents them self in a way where the child is comfortable in your presence so they can learn and ask question is vital also.

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…

Inspire students to understand the importance and broader concepts within mathematics.

The most important thing is to develop the students confidence and give them the ability to take on problems on their own later down the track.

The most important thing a tutor can do is to actually listen to their student. If they are not being receptive to feedback, and the student is not learning, then there is no progress being made. Rather, there has to be an active conversation between tutor and student that helps communicate the student's needs. I think I'm really receptive to a…

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.
