As a tutor what I can do is to build the confidence of students for the subjects which he or she is struggling with. Give them zero confusion and make everything as easy as possible. I have worked as a lecturer at both state and private sector universities in my home country for more than two years. So I can feel what students' mind is working and…

It is super important for children to feel like they are doing well, and making progress. I think that as a tutor, encouragement is the most important tool that a tutor can use. If the students are not encouraged, they will no longer be motivated to keep trying, and will therefore not improve. My biggest strength as a tutor is my patience. This…

I think that an important thing for a tutor to do is to be available, even if it be through technology or in person. As a student, I understand that sometimes it may just be a singular question that gets you down, or in other cases an entire unit. Hence, being able to support all circumstances is imperative. Another important factor is that…

I think that some tutors get caught up in focusing solely on the work in front of them and miss out on teaching younger students about the life in front of them. Instead of doing more work, tutors should provide organisation tips and possible strategies they can put in place to improve the quality of their work. Also, forming close relationships…

The roll of a tutor is two-fold. Firstly, to help students understand the material they are working with. There are many ways to go about this, but one of the most important roles of a tutor is to be able to bring intuition to the abstract. This in addition to introducing effective methods for solving problems. The second key roll is helping…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is ensure they understand what they are doing. As a result it is crucial for a tutor to prepare the correct material for the student. It is crucial that a tutor guides the student rather than just helping them get their homework done. Teach a man to fish and he has food for the rest of his…

I believe a tutor should foster a positive learning environment for a student, in which the student feels comfortable discussing any issues they are having with the tutor. I feel that as a tutor, your core responsibility is to place the needs of the child first, and do whatever you can to fulfill these needs, even if it does involve putting in…

The single most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them build confidence in their own abilities to learn and overcome challenges. By helping grow and nurture this sense of confidence, a tutor can give a student the tools that they need to learn not only the subject they are working on, but also other subjects and skill or…

I would say one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to show them the compassion and support they need to gain self-confidence and realise their full potential. In my previous tutoring groups, I would often have students who felt like they would never be good academically, and this was simply not true. All that had happened…

Have a good working relationship with them. Be patient. Encourage them to 'have a go'. Encourage them to take a 'risk'. Help them to understand that mistakes are ok - they are simply a step in the learning process. Encourage them to do their best. Celebrate their successes. Encourage them to believe in themselves and their abilities. Vast…

Local Reviews

Hiring an EzyMaths tutor was a positive experience from the first phone call. I was immediately given a tutor and arranged my son's first session on the day and time I requested. The tutor contacted us for background information on the student and the topic. Thus, he came completely prepared for a tailored session. He also emailed some excellent online resources for my son to utilise. The session was perfect for my son, who went on to do extremely well in his subsequent exam. The tutor followed up on my son's result. I will definitely using the service again, and would recommend this provider to anyone interested in assisting their children to reach their full potential.

Inside PaechtownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophie worked on equivalent fractions and simplifying them, then practiced applying her skills to worded fraction problems and money calculations in real-life scenarios.

Year 5 Annabelle completed a probability worksheet from school and learned how to create and interpret graphs from tables of data.

Sydney, also in Year 4, built confidence with multiplication and division using worksheets before moving into understanding fraction equivalence and placing fractions accurately on a number line.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 mathematics, one student repeatedly rushed through multi-step questions, leading to overlooked details—"she kept skipping parts of the problem and missed key numbers," a tutor observed. This meant extra time was spent correcting errors instead of practicing new skills.

In Year 10, another student hesitated to start graphing tasks due to feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information; she sometimes gave up before attempting an answer.

During senior revision sessions, there were instances where homework was left incomplete because fatigue or low motivation set in after a long school day, which limited exposure to challenging problems and slowed confidence-building.

Recent Achievements

In a Paechtown tutoring session, one high school student, Jay, shifted from hesitating over mistakes to actively spotting and correcting them on his own—he now recognises when an answer doesn't match expectations and tries new strategies instead of getting stuck.

Another high schooler, Sydney, moved from needing lots of guidance with fractions to working through most textbook questions independently and even tackled harder multiplication like 14 x 52 after gaining confidence mid-lesson.

In Year 4, Annabelle recently showed a new willingness to approach tricky problem-solving tasks by breaking them down herself rather than waiting for prompts.

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 Mount Barker Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's Lutheran School, Hahndorf Inc.
