As a chemistry tutor, my duty is not just to support them intellectually, but also to help them learn and comprehend the world. I would love to help them grow mentally and emotionally to emerge as a good human being on the whole. Before being a tutor to them, I have to be their friend to enable their overall happy development as an individual. I…

I believe the most important thing a chemistry tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time. I have strengths as…

Chemistry Tutor Salisbury North, SA
Most importantly, a student should be motivated and encouraged so that he studies with interest. He should be made to feel that if he failed to understand a concept once, it is perfectly fine and he should keep trying. He should be taught the actual meaning of the word 'Competition' , which is to beat his / her own last performance and not anyone…

Encouraging and patient when explaining concepts to students. Tutors need to provide encouragement as this will build both motivation within the student to do well in a subject, and increase their overall confidence in a difficult topic. I believe setting achievable goals is also an important thing a chemistry tutor can do. Patience is also…

I strongly believe that tutor are in a position, where they can not only help the student with solving a problem, but also build their confidence so that they become confident in solving any type of problems independently. It is also about teaching them how to approach a question instead of giving them the answers. For example, helping them to…

A tutor can help a student grow not only in their academics but also as a human. A tutor is different from a teacher as they can be more personal with a student during 1 on 1 teaching. This gives room for conversations which can help the students grow. Since i was recently a student, I believe that I understand what students are looking for from a…

For high school students, I find that the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do is to build a student's confidence in their own abilities. More often than not, I hear student's say that they don't know what they're doing, which can hold them back from trying their best. It's a fact of psychology that people tend to sabotage their own…

I believe the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to never stop trying to learn despite few low moments. I personally, encourage students to ask even the most basic questions which come across their mind and to never feel ashamed of wanting to learn more or being curious. In my opinion,…

The most important thing that a chemistry tutor can do is teach them to learn. Not everyone learns the same way so we should identify the childrens strength and cater to their needs so that they can become good independent learners in the future My biggest strength as a tutor is patience.

Local Reviews

Georgia is absolutely loving her tutor, I am very impressed with her myself, she is a lovely young lady.
Nicole

Inside Penfield GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Amelia worked on understanding the perimeter and circumference of irregular shapes, as well as finding the area of kites and diamonds using visual breakdowns.

Year 9 student Oliver tackled linear equations by exploring slopes—including parallel, perpendicular, zero, and undefined cases—while also completing assignment questions on parabolic graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily focused on probability lines and calculating basic probabilities through real-world scenarios to reinforce these concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student often left assignment work, such as research projects and note-taking for English texts, until the last minute; this meant "the opportunity to absorb learning is limited" and class time was spent catching up rather than polishing skills.

In Year 10 mathematics, a student skipped written steps in equations—"he tended to skip steps and not explain them"—making it hard to catch errors before moving on.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student regularly forgot essential materials for both biology and English sessions; missing resources meant planned activities couldn't be completed, causing frustration when progress stalled mid-lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Penfield Gardens tutor saw a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra, often making careless errors—this time, he took the lead in thinking out loud and double-checking his steps, resulting in cleaner solutions.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student who previously hesitated to ask for help during English lessons has started voicing her questions and even caught a mistake made by the tutor.

In primary sessions, one student working on multiplication mastered using finger beats as her own technique after struggling with traditional methods and now confidently completes times tables drills without freezing up when faced with new numbers.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Nicholas seems happy with Gaj and already he is seeing improvements in his understanding of the maths topics he has covered.  Nicholas is more motivated with maths now and his confidence has improved greatly.

Graeme is happy with Gajith as it is great to have someone who can explain how to answer the question on the spot.

Thank you for the follow up email. Eden is already streaking ahead with the help of Nicole. She is great at what she does. Eden enjoys the tutoring sessions & feels comfortable with Nicole. Nicole is also very accommodating regarding upcoming tests etc & is willing & able to schedule additional sessions, if & when required. I am very happy with the progress so far.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Angle Vale Primary School.
