I think that a chemistry tutor should be approachable - the student shouldn't be afraid to say that they don't understand something. After all, the tutor is there to help the student through any new concepts and ensure that they are taught in an easy to understand way. The tutor should be able to adapt to the student's most effective learning…

Modern curriculum is mostly based on a thought process that works for most students. But not for all, and school teachers don't usually have the capacity to take care of all the students individually. That's where a chemistry tutor can help. Everybody thinks about and understand scientific ideas and theories in their own, personal way. A tutor…

To assist them in the holistic learning process.

I believe my strengths as a tutor includes the ability to empathise with…

The most important thing that a chemistry tutor can do for the students is to motivate and encourage them to do their best. I believe that results are mostly achieved through the effort of the students themselves, so as a tutor I try my best to cover all the concepts and to provide my students with support materials, but I also make sure that my…

I think an essential thing a chemistry tutor can do for their student is be empathetic! Often, for teachers, its hard to understand what students are feeling, since school and lifestyle has changed from the time they were students to now (in a global pandemic). Therefore, being an tutor who displays empathy about understanding what its like being…

As a chemistry tutor, I could assist students to understand their subjects by motivating them involving an interactive class with students. When I went to tutoring, I had the best experience by having a very motivated, interactive and interesting tutor. I will try to become one of them though I'm still yet to gain formal experience of tutoring In…

I believe that tutors must have a good attitude and genuinely enjoy the concepts and the subject. Without this, the student will most likely find the tutoring bland and boring, which would reduce their engagement and their overall performance and knowledge in the subject.

I believe that teaching is not about pumping a student with exam papers or to make them memorise the answers and get good grades, for my satisfaction. But about really making sure the student understands a concept, so that they have a strong foundation and can apply to it many different question styles. This will actively stimulate creativity and…

Besides grades, I would say that a chemistry tutor is also essentially teaching the student life skills such as responsibility and perseverance. I had this unmotivated student.

The most important things a chemistry tutor can do could be split into two parts. Academically, tutors are there to help the student to learn all the knowledge required for them to achieve better grades. Spiritually, tutors are there as mentors, which they need to encourage the student to achieve their full potential, because usually due to exam…

Listen. Every student excels in some ways and does not in others. This emphasises the importance for a chemistry tutor to present ideas in ways which allow the student to learn them in the most efficient and effective ways. This also ensures that the tutor does not repeat anything the student already knows and identifies what the student has yet…

since the goal of a tutor is to teach the student I believe that the most important things tutors can do for students Is teach the underlying concept as well as the method to solving a problem, this allows the student to apply what they have learnt in different circumstances if the same underlying concept is used.

Encouragement and motivation are two of the biggest qualities that make or break a tutor; a tutor should be able to provide positive reinforcement to their students and support them all the way. Another important note is that a tutor should be versatile and adaptable, for not every child is the same, and it falls upon the tutor to make sure that…

Deepti is great, learning quickly.
Krystal, Happy Valley

Inside Happy ValleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava focused on congruency and similar triangles, using practice problems to reinforce understanding before an upcoming test.

In Year 10, Ethan worked through solving simultaneous equations and interpreting worded problems involving linear relationships.

For senior maths, Year 12 student Grace reviewed confidence intervals and critical values in statistics, including how to use sample size calculations when testing claims.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student was missing the book with 'mini-theorems' in it, which made applying the correct rules during rearranging questions harder—retrieving materials from school became a priority.

A Year 11 student tackling calculus struggled to allocate time effectively on their test: "Consider how many marks each question is worth, as a guide for how long the answer should be."

In Year 12 statistics, occasionally not labeling graphs or detailing method limitations held back higher-level marks in investigations.

During advanced trigonometry, over-erasing and rewriting answers meant less time reflecting on errors before moving forward.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Happy Valley noticed a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on worded geometry questions now confidently works through finding equations of lines and applies the distance formula without prompting.

In a recent Year 12 session, a student who struggled with interpreting summation notation managed to solve expected value problems independently and even received an A- on his last test—a big step up from previous results.

Meanwhile, a younger high schooler who hesitated to ask for help now openly checks their reasoning out loud when tackling tricky fraction-decimal-percentage links.

Madeline was a great tutor, friendly, easy going and understanding. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with their studies

Stephanie is really enjoying tutoring with Jia Jia. Jia Jia is very easy going and Steph is happy with how it's all going. Thanks for being so organised and informative. It's made the experience smooth!

Jack and Justin are getting along well. Jack seems to have to continued to improve since Justin started tutoring.

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 Aberfoyle Park (The Hub) Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Braeview School.
