The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to think and learn. This is far more valuable for future work and study than any one topic to be learnt. My principle strength as a tutor would be my understanding of how mathematical concepts work, which helps me to explain them. I do this often with my colleagues during…

I think most importantly a tutor should teach the student how to learn. Other than having a passion and knowledge of the material; I think it's also important to be a good listener and be able to pick up whether the student really understands, tailoring your approach to the student. My main weaknesses are my limited experience in tutoring and…

One of the most important effects a tutor can have on a student is bringing out their confidence and have their student feel supported. Throughout my experience as a tutor, many students have said "I'm stupid" and this falsehood is holding them back. They lack confidence in exams and don't exercise sufficient effort for assignments, because they…

As previously mentioned, I think the most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to listen. If you do not listen to the students expectations and responsiveness to the material then the sessions will not be productive, and the student will not improve. My strengths are that I am an incredibly patient tutor, as well as a good listener.…

A good tutor will be able to make a connection with their student, and can understand their individual needs as a learner. I think that if a tutor isn't able to do this, then any knowledge they possess can't be effectively taught. I think a good tutor should also have a strong grasp over whatever they teach, and being able to teach is the biggest…

Since students most commonly get tutoring as they do not understand the approach taken by their teacher to the subject, I believe the most important thing is to relate to the student, and see the problem from their perspective. This leads to the ability to create personalised approaches to the theories presented in class, and allow the student to…

A tutor should be more than someone who lectures and instead be someone who brings value through listening and understanding challenges and working through them with the student to find solutions. A tutor can enable a student to understand a subject, not just enough knowledge to pass. A tutor can teach more than just a syllabus, but also learning…

I believe that the greatest affect that a good tutor can do for a student is to infatuate the student into the subject, meaning to truly engage and interest the student in the topic. Once this happens the student will grow a love for the subject, leading them to career paths regarding this subject. This will more importantly grow a work ethic for…

The most important things a tutor can do to a student is to make the student not to need a tutor any more (Be able to work alone without assistance from the tutor).

Local Reviews

The EzyMath team has been very easy to work with - our tutor is very punctual, proactive, polite, flexible, and my child has been enjoying her lessons! She has been picking up new concepts and her confidence has increased! The online team has also been great, in particular their communication is excellent (they are prompt to reply to emails and check in regularly). I am really happy overall with the service they are providing.

Inside St LuciaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 Cara spent several sessions strengthening her foundation in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, gradually moving on to fractions and exploring angles using diagrams.

Year 8 Arnav focused on data analysis for a maths assignment, specifically comparing two groups using mean, median, and mode while interpreting results from charts.

Meanwhile, Year 9 Masiha tackled trigonometry concepts including right-angled triangles (sin, cos, tan) and progressed to three-digit bearings in later lessons.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 mathematics, Cara repeatedly relied on a "cheat sheet" for times tables and hesitated when faced with multiplication or division involving larger numbers. As one tutor noted, "she tended to guess answers instead of working through each step," especially when the material wasn't her favourite.

In senior biology (Year 12), Arnav struggled to integrate others' research into his own writing and found it difficult to synthesize several sources into a single argument. This led to drafts that were overly detailed but lacked cohesion—drafting became overwhelming rather than productive when he felt pressured to get it perfect in one go.

Recent Achievements

A recent St Lucia tutoring session saw one Year 10 student move from hesitating with multi-step maths problems to confidently working through each stage and even catching their own small errors without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who used to get frustrated with data analysis now independently identifies patterns in statistics and explains what the results mean, showing more initiative than before.

In Year 5, Cara—who was previously quiet during lessons—has started raising her hand for help when stuck and finished an entire set of division questions on her own for the first time.

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 West End Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ironside State School.
