Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Seeing progress with my students over the course of a lesson/multiple lessons. It feels amazing seeing your efforts pay off and your student slowly grasping the concepts, and working out the problems, thanks to your help and their own efforts as well.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
Establishing good rapport with students. I have spent quite a bit of time volunteering with children and I feel that my personality and ability to interact with younger people make it very easy for me to get along with them, and I would have no problem establishing rapport with my students as part of Ezy Math Tutoring.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The ability to explain concepts and solutions to problems in a way that the student can understand. What can look very simple to us can seem like a foreign language to our students, so the skill to break these down and make the student believe that what just looked impossible to them is actually very doable is invaluable as a tutor.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Ricardo
Experienced Volunteer Tutor with Real Classroom KnowHow
Ricardo brings hands-on tutoring experience from working with students in Years 7–9 who could not afford formal tutoring. In this role he helps with homework, explains tricky concepts step by step, and supports students to build confidence over several school terms. He is used to working with mixed-ability groups and adapting explanations on the spot. Parents can expect a tutor who already understands how school-aged students think, learn, and stay engaged over time.
Strong Communication and English Support for Diverse Learners
As a volunteer program leader supporting international students with their English, Ricardo regularly helps learners improve speaking, listening, reading, and everyday language skills. This experience has sharpened his ability to break down grammar and vocabulary in simple, practical ways. He is patient with questions and good at encouraging shy students to participate. This tutor is particularly well-suited to children who need clear explanations, extra language support, or a calm boost to their communication skills.
Nutrition Educator Who Makes Learning Practical and Relatable
Ricardo is studying a Masters in Dietetics and has assisted nutritionists in delivering nutrition and cooking sessions in schools. He is comfortable presenting to classes, managing groups, and turning theory into fun, real-life activities. This background means he naturally weaves practical examples, visuals, and everyday scenarios into his teaching. He enjoys getting students talking, asking “why”, and linking what they learn in English or other subjects to topics they care about, helping lessons feel meaningful rather than abstract.

I am happy with her reading ability as well as how she looks at words she is not familiar with and sounds it out before attempting it (usually), and tends to get it right as well which is great to see.
Right now the biggest thing she can do to improve her reading is making it more fluid and natural. There is a bit of stop-and-starting to it that makes it seem like the entire passage is one continuous paragraph with not punctuation marks separating it, so maybe if I got her to read some stories instead where how you read it greatly impacts how well the story is told, that could be good.

I liked how many questions Berry was asking me to get her writing better or to ask whether this or that option was better, along with just pointing out a sentence/paragraph had an error and then she managed to find that error.
There was a point in the story where she wrote the narration as if it was delivered first-person instead of third-person where it became a bit informal and would only make sense if it was the main character narrating, so one thing she could be more mindful of is making sure her third-person narration stays formal and does not employ things like slang

Ethan already had a great grasp of how to add cents and dollars together which should make things easier for him when they go more in depth on it during school now, and when it came to his spelling, it is great to see how enthusiastic he gets when he gets a word right or when he manages to correct an incorrectly spelled word.
He did unfortunately stumble on a couple of the money questions I gave him where he seemed to have forgot a step, which is a shame as otherwise he did the question perfectly. He did mention to me a couple sessions ago about not being confident in answering maths questions in a test without my aid, and perhaps this sort of little mistake is linked to that worry.

I appreciated how honest Berry was about her maths abilities and it made it very easy for me to see where improvements can be made and what she does not enoy about it. I also appreciate her not being put off by doing maths for 40 minutes considering her reaction to that last week when I mentioned it to her.
She does count some numbers up a bit slowly, namely 7 and 8s, but at least she can do it quite quickly with her fingers but this will need to be done in her head soon enough for the sake of speed and familiarity with those numbers.
