I believe that getting high grades in school is not the most important goal for my student (although this is something we work towards), but rather what is most important for me as a biology tutor is to see them learn, progress and improve each time. I want to teach them the value of hard work while building up their confidence and motivation to…

I think the most important thing a biology tutor can do is to hear the opinions and struggles of a student. This will allow them to move forward and solve any issues that they are having with their studies. I am very patient and hardworking. I take my time with students, allowing them to ask questions. I also provide my own homework and help with…

Also, a biology tutor should know how to boost up the morale of a student when he/she is feeling low. If student is facing…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

In my opinion, a biology tutor must be able to empathize with the student and create a safe space for them. Its important to be constructive and patient especially with the ones that take time to grasp topics. One must keep instructions clear and always strive to empower the child by focusing on their strengths. Engage them instead of lecturing…

Their dreams become my dreams for them, so I will never let my students give up on reaching their goals. Improvements do not happen overnight, but whenever they do happen, no matter how small, I…

Try to make them feel confident in themselves and build intuition.

Its going very well with Emmad. He has been able to give Aidan more confidence and he is now doing more exercises/problems on his own. We are happy with Emmad's manner and abilities.

Inside DernancourtTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Damon worked on distinguishing short and long vowel sounds using interactive games, then practiced imaginative narrative writing by planning story settings and endings.

In Year 8, Ashton prepared for a biology test by revising DNA structure, replication, and mitosis with visual aids to clarify key processes.

For Year 9, Eliza focused on coordinate geometry—specifically finding endpoints from given coordinates and determining the equation of a line, including calculating gradients and intercepts.

Recent Challenges

Incomplete homework emerged as a barrier for a Year 3 student, with notes stating he "did not complete the weekly set homework" on sentence construction and required frequent prompting to vocalise ideas before writing.

In Year 10 Mathematics, calculator dependence surfaced: "over-reliance on calculators made mental arithmetic slow in class," particularly when rearranging equations.

A Year 12 Biology student struggled to actively recall content, relying on rereading slides rather than making flashcards or practicing retrieval.

For one Year 7, skipping written steps in algebra led to confusion—"he guessed at answers instead of logically working through brackets." This resulted in repeated errors that had to be re-explored together.

Recent Achievements

A Dernancourt tutor noticed a big shift in one high school student's engagement: where they used to get distracted easily, they stayed focused the entire lesson and even took their own notes without prompting.

Another high schooler, who previously found simultaneous equations overwhelming, now works through each step out loud and checks their answers independently before moving on.

Meanwhile, in a primary session, Damon—who once hesitated to try spelling tricky words—now volunteers to spell them aloud during games and uses his drawings as cues to write imaginative stories, finishing his latest narrative with only minimal reminders.

What they say about our tutoring

We have had 2 Tutoring lessons with Ishita so far and we are very happy. Ishita is a delightful and intelligent young woman and Emily and I felt comfortable the minute we met her. She is quite an effective tutor and we look forward to get continuing her tutoring of Emily. Thank you for your support.

My Granddaughter, Ava, is very comfortable & happy with her tutor, Mihika. Also, myself & Avas Mother are happy with Mihikas cheerful, pleasant manner & punctuality. I will be continuing the tutor lessons as we're very happy with Mihika & some improvement with Ava so far.

Yes - Bailey is happy with Reshmi. She's good at explaining how he should be breaking down the question in order to get the answer for the problem. As he only has less than 2 months before the HSC they've been working on a plan to get Bailey to work on and improve his maths.

Biology tutoring in Dernancourt

Most students approach learning biology like any other subject. They know the basics, what to do and what to avoid, and truth be told, in most cases it's enough to pass the tests.

Science subjects, and especially biology, can be tricky though. More often than not, students will need a push - just a little bit of guidance to get the most out of their learning.

Biology Tutor Dernancourt

We work with many Dernancourt biology tutors and most have a story or two about student hiccups. Sometimes it's silly mistakes and other times just a lack of consistency - simple details that could have saved them time and energy. Never skip your lab notes! tutors find themselves reminding students over and over. Yet most tend to forget them.

Tutors we work with are there to help out with homework, revising, getting ahead or solving advanced problems - whatever your child needs. And they are available within a day or two. All we need to get things started is to have a chat with you.

We figure out what kind of support your child needs and organise one-on-one biology tutoring in Dernancourt. On top of that, we keep things simple and convenient. There are no extra fees or hidden charges, just a simple hourly rate.

Last but not least, to make sure you and your child really like the tutor in Dernancourt - the first lesson comes as a risk-free trial and with a money-back guarantee.
