There are 3 things a tutor must do in order to be successful and respected: listen, care and try (all three of these are my strongest points). My ability to connect with the student, empathise with their weak points and endeavour to provide them with specific questions and techniques will be a great asset for the EzyMath team. My strengths are…

I believe being able to relate and support your student is the most fundamental aspect of tutoring, as it allows you to effectively gauge where they are struggling and excelling. As not every student can be treated in the same manner, this understanding is quintessential in ensuring that one's student is enjoying tutoring and growing in knowledge…

English Tutor South Hurstville, NSW
I think a tutor can most importantly help a student with the concepts that they are struggling with in school and also helping students learn concepts that their school hasn't gone through yet so that once they do, it'll be revision for them rather than learning it for the first time. This particularly helped me when I was doing my HSC.…

Most tutors forget that students never enjoy tutoring, so it is important to set interesting challenges to keep students motivated and also polishing their skills using unorthodox methods. Too much of the time tutors just read off the textbook and don't provide alternative methods or keep the students' focus on their work. I believe the students…

The most important thing a tutor can do for the student is to believe in them and show encouragement.

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as a tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a student if…

Inside MortdaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student worked on adding and subtracting fractions, including changing between mixed numerals and improper fractions, as well as multiplying and dividing fractions.

Year 8 student Kirsten focused on geometry topics like identifying corresponding, alternate, and co-interior angles, plus solving for missing angles in triangles using angle sum properties.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Reece tackled advanced mechanics by practising projectile motion questions and developed skills in rearranging the subject of equations to support his HSC exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, one student's written work on percentages often lacked clear steps, making it difficult to see where confusion with multiplying and dividing began—he tends to forget the process but remembers when guided.

A Year 11 physics student struggled to complete questions without direct prompting; missing out on independent problem-solving meant "finishing the questions alone was an issue."

In Year 7, another student's trouble with identifying straight angles showed up as incomplete solutions when not given examples or pointers. This left them unable to check their own answers during practice sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mortdale noticed a real turnaround for one Year 12 student who used to get stuck on modern physics problems—after focused practice, he can now handle electric and magnetic field questions with much less prompting.

Another high schooler has begun taking her own notes during sessions, something she previously avoided; this shift means she's recognising gaps in her understanding and actively working to fix them.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who was hesitant about mixed numerals now confidently switches between improper fractions and mixed numbers and breezes through decimal addition tasks without needing reminders.

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 Penshurst Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Penshurst West Public School.
