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.

While not without its struggles, it was a good sign that Cleo managed to get through a whole session working only on her times tables as they definitely needed improvement. Cleo is also improving, albeit somewhat slowly, on her ability to tell time, still making some basic mistakes here and there that I feel should be not happening at this stage with the work we have done on it.
Cleo, while better than last week, is still quite restless doing her work (specifically work like this which she finds not particularly enjoyable), and still resorts to guessing her way through some answers or simply waiting for my reaction to see if it is correct instead of being sure of the answer herself.
It was good that Berry finally got to work on her times tables, and she does not try to guess her way through the answers like Cleo tends to do.

Her methods of answering times table questions she is not sure of only work if she is able to add/subtract really quickly with the multiples, so if she chooses to continue using her current methods, she will need to improve the speed at which she does them to avoid lots of unnecessary time being wasted.

I would say, and which is not a surprise considering how well she writes, she is very proficient in spelling so I focused on giving her what are considered difficult words for her year group.
I would not say her spelling requires a ton of attention, and she was happy to be challenged with words she was unfamiliar with. Sure there were words she got incorrect, but I would classify them as words that are very difficult to spell right if you have never heard of them/spelt them before so there is not much to worry about here.

Berry wrote quite a lot during this session, getting about 250 words out which was really impressive and seldom got distracted with herself or cleo during the session.
Lots of small, minor errors (moreso than usual I would say), e.g. using where/were incorrectly, incorrect capitialisation, using they're/their incorrectly, which may not seem like huge issues but if done consistently it can make the writing look a bit sloppy (specifically the incorrect usage of the aforementioned words).
