Chemistry Tutor Drayton, QLD
A tutor can help a student develop the necessary skills,by which he can learn and understand by himself. Also, he can help identify the students weaknesses and provide alternatives by which the student can easily learn. I have patience and understanding. I also have excellent writing skills. Moreover, I like challenges and I love it when I can…

Chemistry Tutor Darling Heights, QLD
In my opinion, the most important thing about tutoring is creating rapport with the student. Because when the student likes you, he/she begins to trust you. And when you gain their trust, they would listen to what you are saying then they would learn what you are tutoring. As a tutor, my strength is I have a really deep foundation of Mathematics…

Local Reviews

Life-changing for my son, even from the first lesson we could tell the tutor hit the nail on the head. So many problems to deal with besides the actual maths, like note taking, paying attention in class, managing your own time... these are the kind of things my son would refuse to learn from me, but coming from his tutor it's received so well and has been truly an incredible improvement for all of our lives! Seriously recommend.

Inside HarristownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Kagan focused on area calculations of compound shapes and solving problems involving triangles and trapezoids using worksheets.

In Year 11, Tom worked through questions on financial maths—specifically annuities and compound interest—and practised applying network theory concepts to real-world scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Bonnie tackled balancing redox reactions in Chemistry by identifying oxidised and reduced species, as well as practising logarithmic functions in Mathematics for her exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, technical issues with Zoom sound and a 40-minute dropout interrupted focus, leaving some clarification on E₀ values and log manipulations unresolved—"solutions for induction examples given post-lesson," but feedback wasn't immediately acted on.

A senior student tackling their first major assignment needed help structuring it and understanding the ISMG marking guide; without clear organization, progress slowed.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student did not complete assigned homework and struggled to stay focused during multiplication practice, often zoning out mid-problem. In one session, "he had not done any of the homework assigned either"—making in-lesson time less productive as new material had to be delayed.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Harristown noticed that one Year 12 student, who previously hesitated to adapt his answers when faced with tricky data in Chemistry, is now confidently modifying his approach based on the evidence presented—a big shift from just sticking to "expected" answers.

Another high schooler has started working through complex integration questions methodically and now recognises the intent behind feedback, actively incorporating suggestions into final responses instead of overlooking them.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled to stay focused at first is now completing her homework before sessions and rapidly recalling multiplication tables without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jonathan and Ellie have started well - she seems to be very happy with the work he's going over and Jonathan has been punctual and engaged in her learning.

Everything seems to be going well so far, Angelina is finally'getting' long division. She is stubborn in finding ways not to rote learn her times tables, however! Shahzad is very patient with her. We are finding the experience a very positive one.

Jordan seems to be doing a great job with Ruby after 2 lessons. I am happy for him to continue and hope that Ruby continues to improve.

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 Highfields Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Concordia Lutheran College - Concordia Primary Campus.
