The most important things a tutor can do for a student is creating lesson plans and methods based around that student. The tutor should also never make a student feel dumb or less capable, but instead should show the students that they have the same capabilities as their peers, it may just take other methods, and concepts that they are not getting…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence in a subject area. A student with more confidence will feel comfortable with the subject matter and will be able to apply it to a wider variety of questions and problems. Attaining this confidence can be achieved through a number of methods such as:…

I think a tutor should be able to empathize with students, understand their situations and make reasonable targets for them to achieve academically. Moreover, on the basis of their needs, the tutor should tailor the content delivered. I am extremely patient and I can easily adapt to any new situation. Moreover, I have the ability to explain…

Being able to engage the student in the lesson and making sure they actually understand. Learning should be a fun process if not it should be made as fun as possible. Being able to teach in different ways depending on how the student is able to understand. Every student has their own study methods, and ways of understanding, so according to that,…

The most important things i can do for a student include asking the students how they answered certain questions, allowing them to realise where their errors are and learn off of their mistakes. Being able to regurgitate questions into smaller sections is the key in answering exam style questions, thus it is very important for a tutor to be able…

I think the ability to listen to the needs of each student to tailor your methods to them is vital in maximising their success. In the same vein, I think it is important to provide students with learning strategies that they can approach problems with in the future, to help build their toolbox, rather than approaching each new assignment or…

A tutor makes a student feel like even though the work is difficult and deadlines are looming, everything will be okay. The tutor acts as a mentor who helps students to improve their time management and study skills, as well as clarifying difficult points. This makes the student feel reassured about their progress through the course. I like to…

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.
