I believe that tutors must have a good attitude and genuinely enjoy the concepts and the subject. Without this, the student will most likely find the tutoring bland and boring, which would reduce their engagement and their overall performance and knowledge in the subject. My experience as a tennis coach has shown me how different students learn at…

Be honest as this helps to establish rapport and trust, the two most critical elements to a successful tutoring relationship. The tutor-student relationship should be viewed as a partnership. You are not there to take the place of the instructor. Let the student know you are there to work with her to supplement classroom and individual study. #…

A tutor has the opportunity to encourage confidence in students. Not solely confidence that they can achieve highly, but confidence that they can give anything a go and learn and improve as they do. A tutor can present things in an engaging way to encourage the student to be open-minded to things they may have discounted because they seem…

Patience is also another important thing to have as things take time. Dedication, not giving up on the student, everyone learns at their own…

A tutor can provide little tips and tricks to answering questions, especially in Math. Always be within reach, in terms of communication platforms, so that the student can clarify any doubts at any point in time.

I believe that making every session meaningful, productive but entertaining is key to learning.

A tutor should make a personalized learning experience for every student and build a relationship of trust with the student.…

I believe that listening to the student is among the most important things a tutor can do. It is imperative that the student feels comfortable to share concepts that they feel unfamiliar with, therefore building a relationship with them is crucial. Having a good understanding of the student's optimal way of learning is also beneficial to the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to get a proper understanding of the level of mathematical 'maturity' of a specific student, rather than just assuming a certain background knowledge. Once this is established, it's possible to get the core of what exactly a student is struggling with (usually a particular fundamental concept) 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.
