In my opinion it is extremely important to ensure the learner knows that it is safe to not succeed at first as learning is a process full of unsuccessful attempts.This will allow students to participate fearlessly in an english tutoring session. Building that trust and relationship with students is an integral part of tutoring. It will enable…

Additionally, a tutor should help the student build good study habits that they can maintain independently. I'm very patient with…

Local Reviews

Janelle has been a great tutor to my son who is in grade 4. It has been 7 weeks since he started his Tutoring and he has gained knowledge and confidence in his English and Maths. Janelle has been a great, experienced tutor who makes learning fun for kids and gets them gagging for more knowledge. She has been a great fit for our son and we have Ezymath to thank for providing a great tutor.

Inside RuncornTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily worked on equivalent fractions and practiced simplifying them, as well as reviewing how to read time accurately.

In Year 10, Jack focused on balancing chemical equations and explored electronegativity patterns in the periodic table with worked examples.

For Year 11, Sarah refined her biology skills by practicing calculations using the Simpson's Diversity Index (SDI) formula and interpreting exam-style short response questions for taxonomy and species richness.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Physics student struggled to organise ideas for a Research Investigation and "kept repeating information from the same NASA source," leading to confusion about what evidence counted.

In Year 12 Biology, a student admitted, "I haven't done too much independent revision yet," delaying content review before exams.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 Maths, skipping written steps when solving algebraic equations resulted in hidden errors—one tutor noted the student "often dives into trying to solve an equation quickly rather than working through step by step."

These patterns left gaps unaddressed and slowed progress on longer tasks.

Recent Achievements

A Runcorn tutor noticed a high school student who previously hesitated to ask for help now actively voices when she's stuck, especially with research assignments—this shift means lessons are focused exactly where she needs support.

Another Year 11 student who struggled to clarify vague research questions is now independently revising them and matching her investigation topics more closely, making progress smoother.

Meanwhile, in primary sessions, one younger student who was unsure about number patterns is starting to explain the steps out loud for finding unknown values; last lesson, she confidently used the butterfly method to add fractions with different denominators.

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 Garden City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Warrigal Road State School.
