I believe to explain a concept that the student can understand is paramount in the role of a chemistry tutor. For this to be done the student needs to comprehend the simple skills that leads up to the final difficult concept. If a tutor is able to explain this complex concept by explaining the simple skills and breaking down the concept in a…

The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is develop problem solving skills and to help them to make connections in their own mind, leading to greater retention in the long term. A tutor’s end goal shouldn’t be to teach a student how to work out a specific problem, it should be to get the student to a point where they…

I consider an improvement in confidence incredibly significant to a child's attitude to learning. If a student is confident in their abilities to learn a subject, then they will be more likely to put effort into correcting their mistakes. This confidence and ability to recognise improvement will directly and positively affect the student's self…

Local Reviews

Harrison seems really good, he has reviewed and assessed Isaac's work this year, homework and test results. He is very clear on instructions and provided mini homework assignments so he can evaluate Isaac more and also gives him tips and advice at each session knowing what he will be covering that week at school.

Inside ConnollyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Noah focused on reading and writing large numbers up to the hundred thousands, practiced expanded notation, and worked on comparing and ordering numbers using terms like ascending and descending.

In Year 7, Mya revised place value through to the millions and developed mental strategies for addition and subtraction by partitioning numbers.

Meanwhile, Marissa in Year 8 concentrated on algebra skills, specifically collecting like terms with addition and subtraction, as well as revising indices in preparation for her upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

Several students in Connolly displayed process obstacles impacting progress.

For example, a Year 9 student's "school work book [was] very untidy with no structure or order," making it difficult to track errors and improvements; copying from the board without completing tasks led to gaps in understanding algebra.

In Year 8, one student needed reminders to avoid mental calculations—"the algorithms MUST be written and then answered using the given process"—as skipping working hid mistakes.

At Year 4 level, forgetting tables and division steps meant extra time spent relearning basics instead of advancing.

A Year 7 learner often left homework incomplete, slowing skill development between sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Connolly tutor saw a big shift in Mya, a high schooler who previously hesitated with algebra: she's now tackling tasks more independently, using a calculator to find the circumference of circles and editing her written work after guidance.

Marissa, also in high school, recently achieved 94% on a maths test—a jump from earlier sessions where tiredness or confusion would hold her back—and is now self-correcting when she mixes up indices and multiplication.

Meanwhile, Noah in Year 3 has started asking for help instead of guessing during reading tasks and uses a ruler as his own strategy to add and subtract without embarrassment.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes very happy with Phoebe she is a wonderful tutor & very pleasant towards my girls  they feel at ease with her as she explains all maths concepts in the simplest of forms (much to the delight. of my daughter Phoebe who said she's learned/understood a lot more in the last three weeks than she had learned all of last year) &  she's building up their confidence to have a more positive outlook when approaching their maths homework!

I just got back from the US this morning we are very happy with Rhett and Connor has really clicked with him and his teaching methods. Under Rhetts tutoring Connor managed to go from a fail to a C+ 65% on his resit after only two sessions with Rhett so a great achievement if we had the ability to have more sessions with Rhett we would happily take them.

So far Katie has been prompt, personable and prepared. As you say it is very early days -we are only just getting to the point where we are clear on where she is at and where she needs to be.

Chemistry tutoring in Connolly

Chemistry can be confusing. Even if students pick it up in the beginning, the sheer amount of content and scope of principles can be overwhelming. It's no wonder most students need an extra push from time to time.

The best thing teachers can do if their students are struggling is approach their learning in a personalized way, really getting to know their habits and specific challenges they face. There's nothing like having that one person who knows your study habits inside out, especially when it comes to science. Unfortunately, in classrooms, that's not always possible.

Chemistry Tutor Connolly

Many parents find that tutoring helps bridge the gap, but locating a reliable chemistry tutor in Connolly isn't as easy as it sounds.

That's where we can help, that's what we do best.

You choose the time, what you want the tutor to work on and how often they should come. If you are not sure what your child needs, we will figure it out for you.

Once we have a chat we will match you with a local Connolly chemistry tutor and set up the first lesson.

And what if something doesn't seem right, you just don't like the first lesson? No worries, we won't charge you! Instead, we'll look for someone who's a better match.

As simple as that!

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 Joondalup Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Connolly Primary School.
