Chemistry Tutor Bonnet Hill, TAS
Instilling students with a positive mindset towards and passion for learning is critical to ensure they are engaged and willing to learn. I always encourage students and build their confidence, because a strong and flexible mindset is so important and can be carried throughout the pupil's education. During lessons, I am actively paying attention…

Chemistry Tutor Lenah Valley, TAS
I think the most important things a chemistry 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…

Inside NeikaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Scarlett focused on identifying Greek and Latin roots in vocabulary and practiced using new words in sentences, followed by work on prefixes and suffixes.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee reviewed stoichiometry skills including mole-mass conversions and then moved on to revising key Organic Chemistry concepts ahead of her SAC, consolidating knowledge through targeted practice questions.

Charli, a Year 12 Biology student, tackled revision of the adaptive immune system using short answer exam-style questions and recapped earlier topics such as CRISPR-Cas9 gene technology for her upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee often felt overwhelmed by complex questions and tended to overcomplicate them, sometimes missing key details or failing to break problems into manageable steps.

"She needs to slow down and summarise the essential features," a tutor observed after a challenging stoichiometry task.

Meanwhile, Scarlett (Year 6 English) hesitated to start creative writing assignments due to self-doubt; she stalled on launching ideas, even when her understanding was strong.

In Year 8 English, Cameron's written drafts showed frequent punctuation and grammatical errors—he needed repeated reminders to edit thoroughly before moving on.

Recent Achievements

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee took initiative by attempting combustion-type stoichiometry questions before the session—even though her class hadn't yet covered the topic. She's also started openly voicing areas of confusion instead of working in silence, which means she now asks targeted questions and adapts her approach more independently.

Meanwhile, Charli has begun highlighting her weaker areas at the start of sessions so they can be addressed directly; she now draws diagrams from memory without prompting.

On a different note, Cameron wrote a creative short story and enthusiastically accepted feedback to improve grammar and punctuation.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jonathan and Ellie have started well - she seems to be very happy with the work he's going over and Jonathan has been punctual and engaged in her learning.

Everything seems to be going well so far, Angelina is finally'getting' long division. She is stubborn in finding ways not to rote learn her times tables, however! Shahzad is very patient with her. We are finding the experience a very positive one.

Jordan seems to be doing a great job with Ruby after 2 lessons. I am happy for him to continue and hope that Ruby continues to improve.

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 Kingston High School.
