Biology Tutor Sandy Bay, TAS
The most important thing is to help them with the struggles they have in studies and even in life. Students at this age and stage in life need someone to establish their confidence and find out their strength. Once the confidence is established then this student can excel the strength in the subjects and also the obstacles in life. I have…

Inside RidgewayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Scarlett focused on identifying Greek and Latin roots in vocabulary and practiced applying rules for capitalisation and punctuation using targeted activities.

Year 11 student Aimee worked through detailed stoichiometry questions, particularly on mole-mass conversions, and then revised Organic Chemistry concepts by reviewing practice SAC questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Charli consolidated her understanding of the adaptive immune system and tackled a set of exam-style questions to apply these learnings to likely assessment scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Chemistry student, Aimee, sometimes became overwhelmed by complex questions and tended to overcomplicate her approach rather than breaking problems into manageable steps.

As one tutor noted, "She needs to be more meticulous when applying the rules because it is easy to make small errors such as incorrectly assigning the longest carbon chain."

Meanwhile, Scarlett in Year 6 English often rushed through reading tasks, skipping words and losing meaning; this led to missed cues in sentence structure exercises and confusion when transferring ideas into writing.

These patterns meant time was spent correcting basic misunderstandings instead of building new skills or confidence.

Recent Achievements

Aimee has become much more proactive about her learning—she now regularly attempts challenging chemistry questions before lessons and openly highlights areas where she needs extra help, rather than waiting to be prompted.

Another secondary student, Charli, showed new independence by using diagrams and notes to solve biology problems she had previously struggled with, confidently identifying her own gaps as we worked through practice questions.

Meanwhile, Cameron (Year 7) demonstrated a big shift in creative writing: after initially hesitating with grammar feedback, they revised their story draft by actively seeking suggestions and then incorporating them into the piece.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I have spoken with Cate who is finding Nikhil's explanation of maths concepts very helpful.

We could not be happier with Mandar he is very pleasant to deal with, always on time and very good with the Khai, Piper and Chase.

Connor was great and has put Indigo on a great pathway for working independently with her maths.

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 State Library of Tasmania—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's Collegiate School - Sports Campus.
