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.
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.
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.
Chemistry is just one of those subjects, it either clicks or it doesn't. Many students find maths and physics easy, but when it comes to chemistry they just feel lost.
And it's understandable. It can be challenging to connect the concepts to real-life, see how it all relates to their day-to-day. When they're struggling, students tend to give up easily and at some point, they stop trying altogether.
If your child doesn't catch on right away, or maybe they consider chemistry a complete waste of time, it can be hard to convince them otherwise. What we've found is that students react better when it comes from someone who they can relate to.
They react to mentors, someone closer to their age, who shares the same experience. That's why tutors are in a unique position to help a student grow.
That's why great tutoring can make such a big difference.
Want to find out how? We can allocate a local Lenah Valley chemistry tutor within a day or two. They reach out to you and set up a first lesson whenever you and your child can make it.
If you like the tutor's approach you keep working with them. If you are not 100% satisfied - we consider it a trial lesson and find a better match. It's that simple!
