Marius

Chemistry Tutor Katoomba, NSW
At the end of a session, you want your student to understand the concept being taught, rather than blindly solving problems using formulae without understanding why. Targeting low-confidence areas: Most people like doing things they're good at but if you're already competent in those areas, you're just wasting time. This is why it's important…

Chemistry Tutor Katoomba, NSW
Some of the most important things a chemistry tutor can do is: create a positive and productive learning environment, provide strategies for critical thinking, and bring awareness to overall concepts of learning instead of focusing on a single assignment or test to foster ongoing success. I am patient and approachable. I want students to feel…

Inside KatoombaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava focused on expanding and solving algebraic equations with brackets, as well as working through linear equations that included fractions and pronumerals on both sides.

In Year 9, Nicole revised the use of index laws in algebra—covering addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—and tackled plotting points and finding gradients by rearranging equations into y = mx + b form.

Meanwhile, Felix in Year 7 worked on simplifying algebraic expressions using factorising techniques and began solving one-sided algebra equations to build confidence for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student repeatedly guessed answers in maths rather than reasoning through problems—"she prefers to guess instead of working answers out," the tutor noted—which led to confusion during shape identification tasks.

In Year 11, fatigue at week's end reduced focus and drive, so written work on bearings and area questions was often incomplete or disorganised.

One high schooler left set homework unfinished and rarely checked feedback from teachers, which meant errors in algebraic rearrangement persisted across lessons.

During online learning for Year 10 maths, technical issues sometimes interrupted revision sessions, leaving some formulas only half-memorised before assessment deadlines arrived.

Recent Achievements

One Katoomba tutoring session saw a Year 11 student who used to hesitate when she didn't understand algebraic terms now openly ask for clarification during lessons, which helped her quickly master linear equations with fractions.

Another high schooler, Nicole, had been leaving assignments until the last minute but has started seeking help earlier from both her tutor and teachers, leading her to complete all independently manageable parts of a recent project ahead of time.

In Year 7 maths, Lyla began identifying errors in her probability reasoning on her own and willingly retried questions until she got them right.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi, Ruhail has been great and his flexibility has helped enormously. He spent 3.5 hours with Casey last weekend as she had a test she was very concerned about. Casey did much better in her test than she would have done and we are already over the moon. Please pass on our thanks.

Yes, we are very pleased that Sophia likes Rebecca and the tutoring seems to be going well. Rebecca obviously has patience and takes the time to explain things so Sophia can follow them and work through the maths, which is exactly what we wanted. The problem with the school is they move along so fast that there is not enough practice time, and we (the parents) are not familiar with what they teach so we can't just help out quickly; we have to re-learn it ourselves first, and then we're probably not good at explaining clearly. That's why it is great having Rebecca who can obviously explain things in a way Sophia understands. The main thing is that Sophia sees herself as 'Ëśno good at maths', but when something is explained so she understands it, she is very pleased when she can get the right answers. A lot of it is a confidence thing I think, and also her school maths teacher has been quite negative about her work; so hopefully the tutoring will rebuild some of Sophia's general confidence over time, which would be great. Sophia will never be a star at maths, but if she can just get passes instead of always negative marks and comments from school, we will be quite happy with that. Sophia is very good at English/Hums and art; maths is her weak area, and we are very pleased (and actually surprised) that she is sitting through an hour of maths tutoring each week without complaint. We did not know how it would go; we tried one other tutor a few months ago , a retired male maths teacher - and she hated it. So this time we are very happy.

So far so good with Tim. Tim is now tutoring both my kids and both are really happy with him. Results will show in the months to come. It is early days but we are very happy so far.

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 Katoomba Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Canice's Primary School.
