A student will need a chemistry tutor because he/she couldn't understand what was being taught in class. The best thing for a tutor to do is focus on the parts that the student failed to understand and strengthen their understanding in those areas. Anybody's hold on Science is only as good as their understanding of the basics. So, it is best to…

Adam has been a wonderful tutor for Lauren not only is she catching up on her maths but her confidence has improved dramatically.

Inside OvinghamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Nia focused on algebraic expansion and the difference of two squares, working through examples to build confidence with expressions.

Year 9 student Sam tackled solving simultaneous equations using elimination and practised graphing linear equations by hand.

For a Year 7 student, recent sessions included revising fraction rules and strategies for solving equations, with extra attention given to converting fractions into decimals using long division.

Recent Challenges

A Year 5 student's maths work was sometimes hard to follow, with "spacing out her writing" suggested so she could spot errors more easily.

In Year 7 algebra, one learner repeatedly confused sign-changing rules even when notes were on hand; as the tutor put it, "she made the same mistake regarding 'sign changing' very often despite being reminded and her notes are available."

In a recent Year 10 test week, another student forgot to let the tutor know about an upcoming assessment—missing valuable prep time.

A Year 9 learner occasionally skipped homework altogether, which meant less practice with worded problems.

Recent Achievements

One Ovingham tutor noticed a big shift with Athena, a high school student who used to hesitate with algebra but tackled most test problems on her own and even scored 87%.

In another session, Constanza, also in high school, began asking more questions instead of waiting for prompts—she'd previously been quiet during lessons but now confidently checks her understanding as she works through equations.

Meanwhile, Valentina in Year 5 started writing out her thought process while solving fraction problems; she'd struggled to explain her steps before but is now much clearer and finished all ten homework questions without errors.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Matthew is “very happy with Kirsten”. That is the best feedback a child can give. Kirsten has a big challenge to get Matthew up to speed. Kirsten is setting him homework and has increased the time that she is spending with Matthew as he needs to put in extra study with exams pending. We can't ask for more than that from a tutor than to be flexible and mindful of Matthews schedule and timelines. Overall Matthews school results are improving across all learning areas.

I am more than happy with Julie, she is just brilliant in every way. In terms of preparation and input I could not ask for more. Just great, and highly recommend Julie as a great advocate for your brand.

Mina helped me to improve considerably so that I felt confident and capable going into my final year 12 exams.

Chemistry tutoring in Ovingham

Students are constantly catching up while demands become more and more complex. Meanwhile, parents struggle to be there through it all.

Sometimes all it takes is to keep an eye on your child's progress - are they turning in their assignments and are they meeting deadlines. Some students don't need more.

Chemistry Tutor Ovingham

However, sooner or later most students tend to struggle with chemistry. And once they hit that wall it's important to react right away, before the tasks pile up and become unmanageable.

That's where we come in.

If you are looking for a local chemistry tutor in Ovingham, we can assist. Your child needs someone who knows chemistry, someone who will turn up prepared for every lesson, who is available when it counts the most, but most importantly, your child needs someone who just clicks with them. Someone who recognizes their needs.

That's what we look for.

It usually doesn't take more than a day or two to match you with a local Ovingham chemistry tutor. They come to your house at a time that works for you.

And what about payment? Well, we set a simple hourly rate, no added fees or anything, as simple as that.

And if you end up not liking them? No need to worry. In that case, we consider it a risk-free trial lesson and if you're still up for it, we find you a better match.

That's all.

No nonsense, just tutoring.

Why not give it a go?
