Chemistry Tutor Darling Heights, QLD
A tutor can help a student develop the necessary skills,by which he can learn and understand by himself. Also, he can help identify the students weaknesses and provide alternatives by which the student can easily learn. I have patience and understanding. I also have excellent writing skills. Moreover, I like challenges and I love it when I can…

Chemistry Tutor Darling Heights, QLD
In my opinion, the most important thing about tutoring is creating rapport with the student. Because when the student likes you, he/she begins to trust you. And when you gain their trust, they would listen to what you are saying then they would learn what you are tutoring. As a tutor, my strength is I have a really deep foundation of Mathematics…

Inside Mount LoftyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Tom reviewed annuities and compound interest calculations in financial maths, then briefly explored key concepts in network theory.

For Year 12, Bonnie practised balancing redox reactions in Chemistry—identifying oxidised and reduced species and ensuring electron balance—and also tackled logarithmic functions in Maths Methods.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student worked through area calculations for compound shapes such as triangles and trapezoids using worksheets to consolidate problem-solving skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled with integrating functions because "he hadn't written out all parts of the function before starting," making it harder to spot missing terms and leading to lost marks.

For a Year 12 Chemistry assignment, another needed clearer structure—without guidance on layout, the main points were buried, affecting clarity and assessment against criteria.

In Year 5 maths, homework was left incomplete; as noted, "he had not done any of the homework assigned either," so gaps in basic multiplication skills persisted. These lapses meant more lesson time spent revisiting basics instead of building new understanding.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Lofty recently noticed a real shift with a Year 11 student who, after previously struggling to interpret data when answers didn't match expectations, began adjusting his approach independently by analysing inconsistencies and modifying solutions rather than second-guessing himself.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student who often skipped over teacher feedback now recognises the intent behind comments and purposefully implements them in final responses.

On the primary side, one younger student—who used to avoid homework—turned up having practised her times tables unprompted and finished all assigned problems for the week.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

The tutoring sessions with Dominic are going very well. He has certainly helped Kailiana to gain confidence and skills in maths, while keeping a calm, friendly, and easy-going mood for the tutoring sessions. As any 8 year old does, Kailiana can get distracted from time to time, but Dominic has always taken this in stride, and been very creative in engaging with Kailiana in order to retain her attention. For example, there was one instance where she jumped up out of nowhere and decided to feed her goldfish in the middle of them trying to solve some questions about volume. Once she got back to the table Dominic asked her about her fish, and then changed the objects in the question they were solving to fish. He effectively got her back on track and engaged her attention in a warm and gentle way. Kailiana looks forward to her tutoring sessions, with is another testament to the good work Dominic has been doing with her.

Our daughter seems to respond well to Adam and even though it's still early days she is much more confident!

We are finding Eloise great. She is very good with Penny and has really listened to where Penny needs help with most and has prepared for her lessons well. We plan on keeping up tutoring as I think it's making a big difference with Penny's confidence at school. She has gone from below the expected level in term 1 report to at the the expected level for her end of year report.

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 Highfields Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Toowoomba State High School.
