Biology Tutor Orchard Hills, NSW
First and foremost, a biology tutor should be able to connect with students on a personal level. The tutor should facilitate students to seek knowledge for themselves. The tutor should establish new ways to help students learn how to do work independently. I possess excellent organizational and communication skills. I also have good subject…

I consider the most important that a biology tutor can do is able to do is simply a topic or break down said topic into digestible portions such that the student is able to catch onto the content of the work easily and effectively. With a good understanding of the topic and the skills to explain its contents to the student, the tutor ensures that…

The most important thing a biology tutor should do for a student is make them feel good about themselves. If the student develops a mentality where they feel as if they will never be able to learn something, they wont. It will be my job as a tutor to encourage them to believe in their own capabilities and further expand on this with different…

A tutor can make use of the two kinds of experience he/she has.

Secondly his experience as a biology tutor means a patient engagement with his student, where in…

The most important things a biology tutor can do is to listen to their student.

Teach them how to study. I feel that too many students think the only way to study is to read the text book or talk to the teacher. Although these are valid ways I feel that most students don't realise there are other ways to study. I personal prefer to watch videos explaining the subject, draw pictures and diagrams, and then make flash cards.…

Be empathetic... Often students are going through a lot more than just school and/or sport, and sometimes tutors do not realise this when they're loading them with a lot of information.

Firstly identifying the student's various strengths and areas of improvement is very significant to give a general idea of which topics to focus/skills on the most whilst teaching them. Another key area that a tutor should investigate further is the student's most effective way of learning specific concepts e.g. visual, written, auditory etc. A …

Inside Orchard HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5, Oliver revised multiplication, subtraction, and division of fractions in depth, as well as key concepts in rates and ratios.

In Year 10, William focused on applications of differentiation—specifically tackling HSC-style questions—and began consolidating his understanding of coordinate geometry through targeted textbook exercises.

For Year 11, Grace completed practice exam papers covering advanced calculus topics such as integral calculus and rates of change, while also working on graphing techniques and curve sketching.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student's written work in trigonometry became difficult to follow when questions were left incomplete or only partially attempted—"couldn't finish off the trig topic," one tutor noted—which made it hard to spot where misunderstandings occurred.

A Year 12 learner, working through HSC past papers, sometimes avoided earlier exam sections during revision and missed practicing end-of-paper questions; this limited exposure to tougher problems under real conditions.

In upper primary, inconsistent spelling practice led to repeated errors with "elaborate words," as feedback wasn't always reviewed before moving on.

Unfinished papers and partial revision left students unsure about which concepts truly needed more attention.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Orchard Hills noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled to ask for help with maths is now confidently requesting clarification when stuck, rather than staying silent.

During high school revision sessions, one Year 9 student made a leap by reading out loud without hesitating on difficult words—something she previously avoided.

In primary, a Year 4 learner began using number lines independently to find patterns after earlier needing step-by-step prompting.

Most recently, a secondary student completed all assigned questions for a tough chapter in trigonometry, choosing to tackle the hardest example first without hesitation.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

My tutoring is going great, Rory is awesome and I'm very happy with the way things are going. Feeling so much better about my maths already.

We are very happy with the tutoring and our tutor is very good with my children. They are really enjoying it and this speaks volumes as they were both very opposed to the idea!

Sahm has been an excellent teacher and we are very happy as to the way he works with our daughter.

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 Penrith City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Montgrove College.
