Biology Tutor Lenah Valley, TAS
I think the most important things a biology tutor can do is listen attentively, and bring excitement into each session. Tutoring is more listening to the areas in which the student is confused rather than trying to explain everything. It is also essential to have enthusiasm about topics, because if you aren’t interested in a subject then the…

Biology Tutor Lenah Valley, TAS
The most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is to make the subject matter they are teaching enjoyable to learn. This is important because learning should be something we actively engage in and if a tutor can make it so the students seek out learning more readily then they have already succeeded in some sense. As a tutor my…

Biology Tutor Glenlusk, TAS
The most important thing I can do for a student is provide the student with confidence and real time feedback. I compose myself in a approachable and transparent manner. Based on my former experience as a biology tutor, I have found students warm to me and form a sense of pride having me as their tutor. I can provide a very approachable,…

Identify their gaps in knowledge. Sometimes you don't have to cover the entire curriculum, as they already know much of what they need already. I am committed and dedicated. I do not get frustrated at students for not knowing something - we were all beginners…

Ensure they meet there every need and ensure a student is enjoying their learning, because if there not enjoying they won’t do well. Being polite and patient with students is crucial as it may take a while for them to understand but encouraging them and having their back will bring out their confidence and it will show in their results aswell.…

Inside Lenah ValleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Cameron worked on recognising adverbs and building simple sentence structure, then wrote a creative piece using newly learned adverbs.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee revised stoichiometry calculations—focusing on mole-mass conversions—and tackled practice exam questions on combustion reactions and specific heat of water.

Charli, in Year 12 Biology, reviewed the adaptive immune system and applied her understanding through targeted multiple choice and short answer questions from recent school assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student's chemistry notes revealed frequent difficulty when complex questions became overwhelming; as the tutor observed, "she overcomplicates problems instead of breaking them down," which led to missed steps and confusion during stoichiometry and equilibrium practice.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student struggled to transfer creative ideas into clear written work—skipping the initial draft phase and hesitating to commit thoughts to paper, making it hard for her to revise or proofread effectively.

In both cases, avoidance of process strategies (breaking tasks down, drafting ideas) resulted in slower progress and increased frustration during revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

Aimee has become much more proactive—she now highlights areas she's unsure about before sessions and asks targeted questions, rather than waiting for prompts.

Charli recently showed initiative by attempting practice questions on new biology topics ahead of time and confidently explained her reasoning during the session.

Meanwhile, Scarlett (Year 7) independently completed research for her biography project and brought insightful facts to shape her draft, a big step up from needing frequent guidance earlier in the year.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Good afternoon. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for sending Justin as Arin's tutor. He has been wonderful and has helped Arin greatly to achieve a better result as well as boosting his confidence. Thank you so much to your friendly team and of course to Justin.

Diana is terrific.  She's on time, very patient and Declan feels he is now understanding the basic concepts.  It will take time but Diana will get there with Dec

At this stage we are very happy. Nick likes Tharaka and his overall attitude to maths has changed. He is quite happy to give things a go. His confidence is building.

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 State Library of Tasmania—or at your child's school (with permission), like Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School.
