Chemistry Tutor Surry Hills, NSW
I think the most important thing I can do for a student is really just build their foundational understanding of the content. With a strong foundational understanding the students can be more confident and creative in their application in the concepts. I have two main strengths as a tutor. First, I bring a very strong working knowledge of the…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a comfortable and supportive environment where the student feels confident to ask questions and make mistakes.

I think for a tutor it's being able to be contacted even after lesson hours. As for maths, it's very difficult to find solutions online and last minute stress before an exam is not good, so I think being available to be contacted and being flexible is the most important thing for a tutor. I like to make the classes interactive and fun to keep…

I think a tutor should be capable of answering any questions discussing any uncertainties that a student may have. These should be explained clearly and if the student does not understand initially, the tutor should continue to explain in alternate ways (e.g. rewording sentences and visual aids such as diagrams) until the student understands. In…

Inside ClontarfTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Jaida focused on surface area and volume formulas, then practised strategies for algebraic fractions and coordinate geometry.

For Year 9, Amelie worked through surds—including simplifying, multiplying/dividing, and rationalising denominators—alongside revision of trigonometry concepts like bearings and angle calculations using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Lilly strengthened her addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills by tackling homework errors and used times tables games to boost recall speed for upcoming topics.

Recent Challenges

He needs to keep using steps and formulas provided, after seeing working skipped in algebra problems—this led to confusion when reviewing errors later.

In Year 11, one student arrived without a calculator or notes for trigonometry revision; the missing materials slowed progress, as key steps couldn't be practiced independently.

A Year 6 lesson highlighted the need for clearer written working: Ensuring she writes down questions and working out in a way she can understand would help her revisit tricky area and volume problems before tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Clontarf recently noticed some great shifts across a few students. One Year 11 student, who previously hesitated to speak up, now regularly asks questions when tackling tricky calculus problems and even challenged the tutor on certain methods to better understand the "why" behind solutions.

A Year 9 student surprised herself by completing her maths assignment ahead of schedule for the first time, showing new independence and avoiding last-minute stress.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student started correcting her own mistakes while practicing times tables—where she used to just wait for hints—finishing her worksheet without needing prompts.

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 Mosman Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Balgowlah Heights Public School.
