As an english tutor remaining persistence and professional are two important qualities that I bring to any student I teach. Any student can learn and understand their true potential, this comes through clarity and how you explain things in a way that makes in easy to understand since all students learn in a different way. And I take this approach…

Instil confidence in one's ability and a good work ethic. If an english tutor can instil confidence in the student, so that no matter their skill level they know they can perform to the best of their ability, than I believe that's one of the most important achievements they can do. Confidence is key in school and in life, and if the student…

There are 3 things an english 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…

I think helping students understand how to approach a question and learning how to discipline themselves is the most important. Constantly reminding them to complete their homework so we can go over their mistakes next time is also important in establishing a routine and will hopefully give them an incentive to do the same with school. I believe I…

A positive mindset to learning is the pivot to academic progress, and without enjoyment students will reach a mental plateau. High engagement with students…

The most important thing a tutor can do is make the student passionate about their subject. If the student isn't motivated to learn, no amount of lecturing or assignments will help them.

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.

Inside OatleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Leonardo worked on calculating time, distance, and speed in word problems, and practiced adding and subtracting large numbers.

For Year 10, Jack focused on geometry by proving triangles are congruent and also reviewed algebraic methods for solving equations with unknowns.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Lachlan covered quantitative chemistry through mole calculations and explored redox reactions using practice questions from the HSC syllabus.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7, one student often jumped to conclusions in ratio and percentage problems—misreading questions led to errors when translating pie chart data. A tutor noted, "He needed reminders to read every part of the question before answering."

In Year 10 algebra, another student struggled with rearranging equations and identifying key details in worded problems; missing crucial information slowed progress.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student preparing for HSC mathematics found it difficult to maintain focus during sessions, which left some exam tasks unfinished and increased anxiety about time management as deadlines approached.

Recent Achievements

One Oatley tutor noted a big step for Evan (Year 10), who was able to independently eliminate symbols and solve simultaneous equations—a task he'd found confusing in earlier sessions.

Meanwhile, Rogan (Year 11) demonstrated real growth in chemistry by connecting valency with reactions, showing a shift from rote memorisation to genuine understanding.

On the primary side, Sofia (Year 4) moved past previous hesitation with timetables; she can now confidently select the right departure based on arrival needs—something she struggled with before.

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 Oatley Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School.
