On top of efficiently solving problems, a chemistry tutor should be able to explain to the students why it is that they are doing what they are doing. A tutor should explain why are they studying a particular topic in mathematics and what is its application. Finally, a tutor should be able to make the student enjoy what they are doing and make…

I think the main role of a chemistry tutor is encouraging confidence in their students. I have found that most of the time my students know the answer, they're just too afraid to say it. Or they may be on the right track and need a little guidance to fully understand a concept, making problem solving skills another thing that I try to pass on to…

A tutor must be patient and listen to how the student feels and explains their material.

I think a common misconception about a chemistry tutor's job is that their whole purpose is to get their tutee an A+. While this is obviously a wonderful side-effect of tutoring, the most important thing a tutor can do is to develop and improve a student's ability to problem-solve, learn, and work effectively to complete their academic goals. The…

Local Reviews

Everything seems to be going well so far. There was a lot of laughter at this week’s session. That’s got to be a good sign! I asked Oscar why he had fun with Nick and not me. He said “I don’t mean to offend you Mum, but Nick knows what he’s doing!”. How’s that for a testimonial?

Inside NewmarketTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Lily focused on percentages and an introduction to Year 7 algebra, exploring new terminology and building comfort with simple equations.

For Year 8, Jay worked through solving one- and two-step equations as well as graphing functions, reinforcing his understanding by practicing with different types of variables.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Sarah reviewed the Pythagorean theorem alongside measurement concepts and geometric transformations using diagrams to clarify each step.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student relied on mental calculations and avoided writing out steps, which led to missed negative signs; as a tutor noted, "she tried to do it all in her head and lost track of the negatives."

In a Year 10 session on indices, skipping written solutions meant errors weren't caught until checking at the end.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 spelling activity showed that forgetting to count letters aloud resulted in vowel combinations being overlooked.

When tackling worded perimeter problems in Year 7 maths, confusion arose from not revisiting formulas or reading questions fully—time was spent reworking rather than building confidence.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Newmarket noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to speak up—this week, she began clearly voicing her doubts and asking questions whenever she was stuck, instead of just nodding along.

Another high schooler surprised himself by getting his first ever 100% on a homework set about decimals, after struggling with careless errors before.

In a Year 4 session, one student who used to rush ahead is now pausing to show full working for each step in word problems, making fewer mistakes as a result and choosing to explain her reasoning out loud.

What they say about our tutoring

At this point, we are happy with the way things are progressing. Ryan seems a bright and capable young man and Kirsten does feel the sessions are assisting her.

We have been very happy with Matthew and importantly, Xavier has worked well with Matthew and has found the tutoring beneficial.

Claire found Samir to be a great tutor - very knowledgeable, encouraging and helpful :-)

Chemistry tutoring in Newmarket

Learning Chemistry feels like learning a new language. It's hard in the beginning, you don't know what to look out for and even though you recognise things here and there that doesn't mean you can read a formula, let alone understand it. It's one of those subjects where it clicks or it just doesn't.

Tutors we work with understand that. They've been there, they had to overcome the same hurdle and they are passionate about helping others do the same. They know the pitfalls, where to spend that extra hour and what you need to memorise before you can completely understand a concept.
