The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to show the student that through perseverance they can be good at the subject, and to appreciate the subject's content for what it is. Another important feature is instilling confidence in the student as that is a skill that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. I am currently…

Encouraging them and reminding them that their school marks are not what entirely defines them as a good student. On top of providing them with academic support and guidance that they can apply to other fields. For instance, how to structure an exemplar essay or simply how to construct a study timetable. Finding unique ways to interpret notes and…

I think the key thing a tutor can do for a student is ensure that their individual learning habits are in order, creating an essential degree of independence. I have found it extremely valuable to ensure students develop a solid work ethic and understand how they can study effectively. In this sense tutoring plays a supplementary role, ensuring…

To me, a tutor must be able to effectively communicate ideas to students in a manner that allows them to understand the concept. Understanding of more conceptually difficult topics is a difficulty every student faces and is ultimately the barrier against marks. Being able to really connect with a student and portray the idea at hand in a manner in…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is act as a motivation for them to achieve their personal best. Although raising marks is the main objective for tutors, they must be able to interact with the students and find their weak points and there is a limit to what they can teach. They must act as a pillar that can support their…

Build a personal relationship with them and understand what the student does and doesn't like.

Local Reviews

When searching for a maths tutor that my daughter would connect with, I researched & considered several options. In the end, we decided to give EzyMath a go - & it's been a wonderful experience. My daughter really liked & connected with the tutor they recommended. She feels comfortable with her & even enjoys the sessions. They've only had a meet each other session plus 2 proper sessions & already my daughter is more at ease & positive towards maths.....she even feels she's improved in this short period. I also found the management easy to collaborate with as I wanted her to meet two tutors in order to select the one she felt most comfortable with. They were responsive & helpful.

Inside Point PiperTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Isaac revised key algebra foundations and began tackling Year 7 content, focusing on simple equations and the meaning behind multiplication and division sentences.

In Year 8, Bella worked through linear relationships using real-life examples and practised interpreting graphs to consolidate her understanding.

For Year 10, Ethan explored financial mathematics concepts like profit growth percentages through worded questions and applied these in rich tasks for practical application.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student faced timing and time management issues in exams—"timing needs some improvement"—resulting in unfinished questions, particularly with non-linear equations.

For a Year 9 learner, difficulty showing step-by-step algebra working meant errors went unnoticed; as one tutor observed, "not able to demonstrate how he found the answers and why he used a certain step."

In Year 6, forgetting formulas for volume left one student unable to attempt several measurement problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 child's subtraction strategies were unclear on paper, making it hard to spot mistakes or explain reasoning during review.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Point Piper recently noticed a Year 12 student who, after previously relying on mental maths and skipping steps, now carefully writes out each stage when solving one-step equations, showing much more attention to detail.

Another high schooler demonstrated real initiative by tackling past papers independently before their exam—something they hadn't attempted unprompted before—and came to the session with thoughtful questions about tricky assessment terminology.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who had struggled with vertical subtraction finally managed to solve three-digit subtraction problems using the trading technique 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 Double Bay Central Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cranbrook School.
