Chemistry Tutor North Gosford, NSW
The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is to help them figure out how to learn in many different ways, thus setting them up for a lifetime of learning. It is also important for a tutor to encourage their student to improve and to celebrate these improvements. My main strength as a tutor is patience with struggling or…

Chemistry Tutor Shelly Beach, NSW
By first giving the student the necessary skills to complete a range of questions this equips them with the tools to complete any question. I then allow the student to make the mistake first and learn from it by helping them change what they did. This is then followed up with an example response to a question then the student is given the chance…

Chemistry Tutor Bateau Bay, NSW
I think that as a chemistry tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them. Each student will learn differently so it is extremely important that as a tutor you tailor your teaching approach to that student and their needs in order for them to learn best. As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the…

I believe one of the most important things a chemistry tutor can do for a student is be encouraging and understanding. As a student it can be hard and that is the reason you are getting tutoring. So to have someone encourage you can be a great reason to keep learning. I think my strengths as a tutor would be my patience and communication skills,…

My son enjoyed his Maths lesson with Dean. Dean is very patient and communicates really well, which makes learning easy.

Inside MatchamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Olivia worked on coordinate geometry, focusing on finding equations of lines and using diagrams to visualise points.

For Year 12, Alex covered polynomial functions—expanding and factoring expressions—and practiced graphing polynomials by hand.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie reviewed probability concepts through multi-step problems and tackled equilibrium in chemistry, applying calculations to real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often left columns misaligned in written calculations, leading to errors in addition and subtraction—"numbers were not properly lined up," noted a tutor after one maths session.

In Year 9, reluctance to write out working for long division meant the student became overwhelmed with multi-step questions and lost motivation mid-task.

A Year 11 HSC candidate showed hesitancy tackling harder algebra when lacking confidence, preferring easier revision topics rather than attempting more challenging problems under exam conditions.

For one senior physics student, messy answer formatting made it difficult to check work or revise effectively later on.

Recent Achievements

One Matcham tutor noticed that a Year 10 student, Olivia, has started independently applying area formulas to complex shapes—she now writes out the formula with substituted values for each question instead of waiting for prompts.

In a recent session, Lilly (Year 7) showed a big shift by asking her tutor not to help so she could solve fraction and percentage problems on her own, having previously needed step-by-step support.

Meanwhile, Mohit (Year 12) is moving through new chemistry concepts at a faster pace than before and now asks clarifying questions whenever unsure rather than staying silent.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Arash is tutoring Dougal and it is going well. Dougal is finding it very helpful and understands Arash's explanations.

We are happy with Ezymath tutoring and with Jessica. They seem to be developing a good understanding of each other. Tajh has improved, which is good to see, and he seems to have more confidence in doing his math work lately.

No problems, Tim is a lovely guy and tries really hard to make sure each session is the best he can deliver. Thanks!

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 Erina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Erina Heights Public School.
