Science Tutor Elizabeth North, SA
For high school students, I find that the most important thing a tutor can do is to build a student's confidence in their own abilities. More often than not, I hear student's say that they don't know what they're doing, which can hold them back from trying their best. It's a fact of psychology that people tend to sabotage their own efforts when…

The most important thing is give a student confidence in their own abilities. Without confidence, a student will continue to doubt themselves and struggle whether you are guiding them in their learning or not. I am compassionate, good at explaining things in multiple ways, and creative. I believe that to be a tutor you have to be creative, as the…

BE THERE FOR THE STUDENT A student needs support! Yes, knowledge is also a key attribute, but not supporting your student throughout the year can lead to them becoming self-doubted.

Science Tutor Salisbury Heights, SA
I believe the most important thing which a tutor can do for a student is not only teach them what they need to know but teach them the skills which they need to succeed on their own. I believe this because although a tutor can help with their learning, they can't be there every single step of the way, especially after high school. These skills…

In the first instance the tutor needs to help them understand the work at hand and equip them with the knowledge and skills that are expected in that subject. The tutor should present the subject in an interesting way to engage the student and ensure the student experiences success to maintain their motivation. Over time, the student will then…

The most valuable thing a tutor can do is show children that learning can be easy, enjoyable, and rewarding. Tutors are positive role models to students and can be academic mentors to them which has great influence to their entire wellbeing. My greatest strength as a tutor is being able to explain content in a variety of ways. If a child doesn’t…

I believe encouraging a students desire to learn is one of the best things a tutor can do for their students, and learning can only be joyful when you understand what you're taught. I believe it is my duty as a tutor to make sure my students finish a tutoring session having more confidence in their study materials than before they started. I can…

A tutor should take responsibility for helping students perform well academically. This is achieved through developing a strong relationship with the student ensuring the one-on-one sessions are productive. Additionally, tutors should identify students’ individual learning needs and discuss the students’ progress with their parents/guardians.…

EzyMath Tutoring has been my first experience in engaging a tutor for my son, who is in year 8. He loves maths, but can take a little longer to grasp concepts and I wanted to ensure that he kept up with modules so that he remained commited and engaged. Our tutor, Sakshi, has been such a pleasure to work with - calm, skilled and able to engage positively with my son. After just three sessions I'm seeing my son's confidence grow and his grades improve. Highly recommended! The support from the EzyMath Tutoring team has also been fantastic.

Inside One Tree HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ben worked on finding parts of a whole using fractions and tackled division and factors through hands-on examples.

For Year 9, Mia focused on solving quadratic equations by factorising and identifying roots, as well as exploring surface area by unfolding 3D shapes into nets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Lucas revised trigonometric ratios to find missing angles and sides in triangles, then applied the cosine rule to real-world word problems involving triangle geometry.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, a student was hesitant to write out algebraic steps, relying on mental calculation instead—"she has excellent mental math skills and hence the writing part takes a back seat," as one tutor observed. This led to small sign errors during equation solving, which slowed progress in more complex topics.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student working on angle properties completed all calculations but struggled to recall key definitions when asked for reasoning, indicating that written revision notes had not been reviewed between sessions.

In Year 4 English, skipping words when reading aloud meant missing context clues and undermined comprehension during follow-up questions.

Recent Achievements

In Year 11, Chelsea used to hesitate when tackling trigonometry, but now she's confidently applying the sine rule on her own and has started practicing the cosine rule to keep up with class.

Caitlin, also in high school, is showing real independence—she attempts almost all problems by herself during sessions and quickly grasps new methods like elimination without needing prompts.

Meanwhile, Chase (Year 5) struggled to stick with word puzzles before, but now he eagerly plays multiple rounds per lesson and can find over ten words each time without help.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like One Tree Hill Primary School.
