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…

Students spend a major part of a day in school. Many children are unable to get the most of it due to time-constraints and lack of individual attention in a class. However, there are a few students who maintain attention and focus in a classroom environment. Reason is they are more prepared than the rest. If a child follows what is happening in…

Therefore building a foundation of study skills which they can then…

Inside KallarooTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Isla focused on converting between fractions and decimals as well as adding fractions, using visual aids to clarify each step.

In Year 8, Ethan worked through integer operations with negative numbers and practised order of operations, also touching on mixed and reciprocal fractions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie reviewed consumer arithmetic by revisiting investment problems and interest calculations, then applied her understanding to currency exchange scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to keep organised notes before a test, making revision less effective—"needs to refine his notes for tests."

In Year 12, one learner found it difficult to manage time and plan for assessments, which left them feeling unprepared.

For a Year 8 student, jumping straight into GATE-style questions without breaking them down led to confusion and incomplete answers.

Meanwhile, in Year 6 maths, avoiding writing out working steps meant mistakes weren't easily spotted or corrected.

These habits often resulted in wasted effort or missed learning opportunities at crucial moments.

Recent Achievements

One Kallaroo tutoring session saw a Year 11 student finally tackle consumer arithmetic questions she'd previously avoided, showing new independence by setting up multi-step problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who used to guess at algebraic fractions now confidently explains her reasoning aloud and consistently checks her own work for errors.

In primary, one Year 4 student made a noticeable shift—after struggling with division remainders in homework, he asked the tutor to review it together and then solved long division questions on his own, finishing all ten problems without needing help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you so much for your assistance over the past months. Alex has progressed quite well and is getting more enjoyment out the subject given that he now has a better grasp of it.

Thank you for this.  We are extremely happy with Jason. He has a lot of patience with Sarah and  a genuine interest in helping her in Maths.  Sarah is slowly getting more confident in maths and this is a big step.

Thanks for the reports. Michael is fantastic. James and I both really like him and he is a very dedicated and diligent tutor.

Chemistry tutoring in Kallaroo

Learning Chemistry feels like learning a new language. It's hard in the beginning, you don't know what to look out for and even though you recognise things here and there that doesn't mean you can read a formula, let alone understand it. It's one of those subjects where it clicks or it just doesn't.

Tutors we work with understand that. They've been there, they had to overcome the same hurdle and they are passionate about helping others do the same. They know the pitfalls, where to spend that extra hour and what you need to memorise before you can completely understand a concept.

Chemistry Tutor Kallaroo

Local Kallaroo chemistry tutors are there to help your child reach that aha moment. They work around your schedule, at a time that's most convenient to you and your child.
