Firstly, I believe the philosophy of "Teaching to fish rather than giving a fish. " It suggests that the tutor has a responsibility to inspire her students to take further exploration in the subject and cultivate good learning habits. Secondly, I think encouragement is essential in tutoring. Being as a chemistry tutor, I would let my student know…

Inside BruceTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Ethan worked through NAPLAN past paper questions 1–25 and reviewed key concepts on circumference basics.

Year 11 student Priya focused on mastering the laws of indices and revised surds, with some work on rationalising denominators using step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Daniel practiced applying differentiation to exam-style questions and tackled problems involving tangents and normals to curves.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student left multiple homework sets unfinished in algebra and fractions ("Homework - 9A, 9B, 9C - All Questions"), making it harder to reinforce new skills.

In VCE Methods, one student tackled complex differentiation but didn't complete assigned past exam papers—notes read: "Needs to complete the 2009 Paper for Homework."

Another in Year 11 focused revision on familiar problems, shying away from application questions that would boost understanding.

As a tutor observed about a senior: "Need to get more organised then will be able to succeed"—misplaced notes and incomplete practice meant extra time spent catching up before tests.

Recent Achievements

A Bruce tutor noticed a big change in one Year 10 student who previously hesitated to use her calculator and often guessed, but now double-checks her answers confidently during sessions.

In Year 11 maths, a student who used to skip tough surds questions is now attempting them without prompting—last week, he even set his own goal of full marks for the next exam.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who would only answer with help is starting to tackle basic problems independently and asks follow-up questions when unsure. This time, he finished all ten problems on his own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Kareem is very happy with John as am I. He makes sure Kareem understands the basics and rules of what he is learning, which is what Kareem needs.

I'd like to report that George thinks Chirag is "so smart" . He is doing the work Chirag leaves him and is definitely more confident. I find him to always be punctual and polite and am very happy we found him.

We are very happy with Katie and her style. She is giving Blythe confidence and this week Blythe has completed her homework with much less assistance!

Chemistry tutoring in Bruce

Chemistry can seem a bit technical. It's all abstract formulas and content that seems impossible to learn and barely manageable to memorise. The material keeps piling up and how are students supposed to truly learn anything when they're constantly missing something and falling behind?

And it's not only about the grades. Sure, students who struggle with chemistry want to pass that test and get their grades up. It's usually their only end goal and that's completely understandable. However, we've found that once students start catching up and chemistry doesn't seem like such an enormous hurdle, their self-confidence improves as well.

Chemistry Tutor Bruce

When they have someone to guide them, make sense of the clutter of information and demands, students tend to struggle less in other areas as well. Your child could feel less anxious about tests and their performance, learn how to tackle tough situations and become more independent, all with the help of a local chemistry tutor in Bruce.

Ready to give tutoring a try? This is how it works.

We match you with a local tutor who offers chemistry tutoring in Bruce, right where you live. What you pay is a simple hourly rate, no other pesky charges or fees, and if you're not completely happy with the first lesson no need to worry - it comes as a trial and is completely free.

All we need is to have a quick chat and we can set things up for you.
