Chemistry Tutor Samson, WA
Throughout my education, I liked those teachers who would inspire me to solve the problem by myself rather than giving the information directly. For me, the most important thing is the ability to solve a problem using the right methods. To tutor is to guide them to the right direction and help students avoid the common mistakes. I have excellent…

Chemistry Tutor Samson, WA
In my opinion, patience is the most important. Tutor is different from a teacher because as a chemistry tutor, it allows us more time to explain, and allows students more time to ask. Only if I show patience, my students are not afraid to keep asking. I think this is the whole point of tutoring. I grow up in an asian city so I had a lot of…

Daniel

Chemistry Tutor Samson, WA
As a student myself, I understand why students find some maths or chemistry concepts very difficult and many of them struggled when faced with homework or exam problems related to it. I believe this is due to the lack of proper explanation of the fundamental theory behind those problems since teachers in school do not have enough time to commit…

The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do is to equip the student with the skills to find answers and explore the subject on their own. Whenever my students ask me questions outside of the syllabus, I involve them in the process of looking up papers and interpreting scientific language. I am able to come up with analogies to help students…

A tutor should provide what a teacher can't. There is a reason that students seek tutoring, and it is therefore a chemistry tutor's role to meet their needs. I believe patience is the most important thing. Not everyone thinks the same, and its important for a tutor to understand this, and to move at a pace that suits the student, whilst also…

In my opinion, the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is to break a concept down to its simplest form. In my school days, I often found this to be the easiest way to learn. If your basic foundation of any concept is strong, it gets much easier to build on that and learn more complex information pertaining to it.…

I can make the student not only competent, but also comfortable and confident in a certain topic. I understand how stressful hard subjects can be.

I was fortunate enough to know this tactic…

Tutors need to be patient, not every student is equally as smart, or equally as attentive. You have to find a balance. A great example I think would be is planting a seed. After you put the seed in the ground, you can put all the water in the world, but it's not gonna grow into a tree in just one day, just like a student, you will break the…

Karmel is fantastic. My daughter has responded really well in only the first few weeks. He is very patient and explains things at a level that she can understand. Her teacher has also noticed an improvement. She also likes him and doesn't protest when it comes to extra maths after school!

Inside O'ConnorTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jimmy worked on rounding numbers using number lines and practiced long division with multi-digit numbers, reinforcing understanding through worksheets and visual aids.

Year 9 student Abbi focused on solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula and tackled challenging problems involving surds and fractional indices.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Isabel revised trigonometry concepts, including perpendicular and parallel lines, and strengthened her grasp of simultaneous equations by completing exam-style practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5 English, one student highlighted almost every word in a comprehension passage, making it hard to focus on key information—"he took considerable time to read because he highlighted almost every word."

In Year 7–8 Maths, repeated reminders were needed for one student to write down full working for multiplication and not just the answer; feedback on this was often overlooked.

A Year 10 student didn't review notes before lessons, which meant valuable lesson time was spent repeating prior material rather than progressing.

Meanwhile, a senior student struggled with organizing files and notes efficiently, slowing revision for tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in O'Connor noticed that Jimmy, who previously found rounding quite confusing, managed to complete a worksheet on his own this week and now applies the concept independently—just last session he needed step-by-step guidance.

In Year 10, Isabel made a significant leap in her recent maths exam, moving from 60% to 81%, especially impressing with her ability to tackle complex worded problems after initially struggling with them.

Abbi, working on quadratic equations in high school, went from needing frequent reminders to now solving standard quadratics quickly and without any help.

What they say about our tutoring

Really happy with the tutoring and Stephen is great, really professional. My son is feeling a lot more positive about catching up so really happy.

You have hit the Jackpot!  Georgina is very happy with Stephen. Many thanks for all your efforts.

Gianna is a fantastic tutor who has definitely been able to help my son Bryce improve his understanding.  Bryce has jumped from a C in Maths to an A- which is proof of excellent work from both Gianna and my son.  Thank you.

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 Willagee Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Caralee Community School.
