Chemistry Tutor Russell Vale, NSW
I think a chemistry tutor should provide a fun, engaging and different approach to studying. A tutor should ask questions in a way a teacher hasn't got the time to do. They should always ask what the student wants and implement strategies as to how to attain these goals. But, perhaps at the forefront of responsibility, a tutor should always make…

Listen to the student patiently. Different students have a different understanding capacity. Therefore, a chemistry tutor should be flexible to adjust to the level of the student and explain to him/her about the subject. I am an active listener and a patient one. These two go hand in hand as it is really important for me to understand the…

I believe the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is to be patient and slowly help the student understand.

As a tutor, some of my strengths are…

Inside BellambiTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student 52992 reviewed algebra, trigonometry, and inequalities as part of half-yearly test preparation, also covering significant figures and financial maths calculations.

For Year 10, student 55937 worked on coordinate geometry with a focus on finding perimeters of sectors, plus practiced forming and graphing linear equations.

Meanwhile, in Year 4, student 43575 explored picture graphs (interpreting simple data displays) and began to discuss foundational algebra concepts through informal activities.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly avoided showing working in maths tasks, insisting that "the answer is enough," which meant calculation errors went unnoticed during revision for algebra inequalities.

In a senior assignment on the Otzi Iceman (History), the same student required step-by-step guidance to begin research and drafting, as one tutor observed, "I had to 'hold his hand' through the writing portion."

For a Year 5 learner, difficulty recalling times tables out of order slowed progress with fraction questions—writing them sequentially was fine, but random recall proved challenging and led to hesitation when new problems appeared.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Bellambi recently noticed Max tackling his Otzi history assignment with far more persistence than before—he used to give up quickly but now powers through challenging research and essay planning without needing reminders.

Another older student showed real progress in maths, mastering Pythagoras' theorem and like terms after struggling to connect the concepts earlier this term; he even asked for tougher questions on angles.

Meanwhile, Arvon (primary) has shifted from hesitating over addition to solving double-digit sums in his head, completing a set of ten mental calculations correctly during one session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I would like to thank you for providing a wonderful service to us.  We were recommended to you by a friend of my daughters and this being the first time we had sought a tutor, we weren't really sure what to do or how to go about it.  You made the whole process simple and easy for us.  Even though the initial tutor didn't relate to my daughter, there was no problem with us changing to another tutor.  This wonderful young woman was just the right person for my daughter.  They both understood each other and my daughter approached her year 12 maths exam with so much more certainty and knowledge.  We won't know for a while yet, the result of the exam but my daughter feels very confident about it.

WE are very happy with Jades work with Tanisha, Tanisha is very comfortable with Jade.  Tanisha has improved with her maths so far thanks to Jades help.

I just wanted to let you know that Arielle's recent yearly Maths marks were the best she has ever had. Usually he marks are in the high 30's ( the test is out of 60) but this time she scored 50 out of 60! Arielle was thrilled and I know this has really boosted her confidence regarding her Maths abilities as she always felt Maths was too hard. I have noticed a definite change in her attitude to Maths tutoring with Ivan. She no longer dreads the session and is able to remain focused and attentive the whole time. This has given her the confidence to begin her new school next year with a positive attitude towards Maths.

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 Corrimal District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Holy Spirit College.
