Besides helping the student with their academic workload, I believe that being someone the student can confide in is important for a chemistry tutor especially in a 1-1 setting. At the end of the day, a tutor who can listen to their student will make it easier for both parties to cooperate and make the student feel more at ease as their worries…

The higher the availability, the more the student can benefit from the tutor. I have tutored many students in the past and I have the knowledge and ability to run a tutoring session.…

Inside Runaway BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sophie worked on converting between time units and understanding time zones, using real-life examples for practice.

In Year 9, Riley focused on trigonometry basics and revising area and perimeter problems to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Suneha tackled advanced trigonometric formulas including the reduction formula, as well as laws of logarithms and applying them to solve equations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student left both their homework booklet and spelling exercise book at school, which made it difficult to follow up on assigned practice and slowed progress in consolidating new skills.

In Year 10 maths, as a tutor observed, "he hasn't done the homework I gave on the 10th," meaning essential practice for surface area and volume was missed before upcoming assessments.

For a senior Biology assignment, feedback suggested the student struggled to organise draft notes effectively and address teacher comments—this led to confusion when refining the evaluation section.

Each of these moments limited deeper understanding or timely improvement.

Recent Achievements

One Runaway Bay tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who, after struggling to communicate her thinking, now talks herself through algebra and logarithm problems out loud—catching errors and asking for clarification when needed.

A Year 8 maths student, previously hesitant to tackle algebra on her own, completed all of her assigned homework independently this week and even started asking questions about trickier concepts instead of waiting for help.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 boy who used to avoid timed activities asked to be timed during a compound words task and finished it in under 16 seconds.

Chemistry tutoring in Runaway Bay

Learning Chemistry feels like learning a new language. It's hard in the beginning, you don't know what to look out for and even though you recognise things here and there that doesn't mean you can read a formula, let alone understand it. It's one of those subjects where it clicks or it just doesn't.

Tutors we work with understand that. They've been there, they had to overcome the same hurdle and they are passionate about helping others do the same. They know the pitfalls, where to spend that extra hour and what you need to memorise before you can completely understand a concept.
