Chemistry Tutor Shellharbour, NSW
I believe a chemistry tutor should be a role model. Where they should embody not only the study skills they teach but also be honest, patient and a motivator, all whilst being professional. Through this a student can grow both academically and as a person allowing them to reap the rewards more deeply. A tutors role is to listen and provide their…

Chemistry Tutor Shell Cove, NSW
The most important things for a chemistry tutor to do is to help a student strengthen their own ability to learn independantly. It is far more important that a student understands the learning process and what works best for them rather than simply memorise a single topic. Having transferable skills as a student and being able to apply their…

Chemistry Tutor Albion Park Rail, NSW
I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is build a student’s confidence. It’s not just about helping them get the right answer, but helping them believe they’re capable of getting there on their own. A tutor should also create a supportive environment where the student feels safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at…

Chemistry Tutor Haywards Bay, NSW
Allow them to figure it out themselves. Giving them the answer is detrimental and they aren't actually learning. Providing clues, hints or simply even breaking questions down into sub questions allows them to approach concepts and questions more easily and break it down into manageable chunks. Being able to approach problems and issues from…

Chemistry Tutor Koonawarra, NSW
Be considerate, patient, understanding, and non-judgemental. It can be very hard to accept help in the first place, and being made to feel like you're failing or a burden is only going to make that harder. I work to understand how their mind works so I can explain in a way they will best understand. I am also very patient, particularly with those…

Local Reviews

We've seen such a positive change in our daughter's approach to maths since she started working with Tala. She was struggling and losing confidence in year 7, but Tala's been incredible at helping her understand the basics and build up from there. Our daughter now actually looks forward to her lessons and maths thanks to Tala.

Inside ShellharbourTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Molly revised the financial maths topic in preparation for a test, focusing on applying formulas to pay calculations and converting between hourly and weekly rates, then moved to exploring nervous system structure and brain lobes.

Year 10 student completed a session on trigonometry by practising the sine rule and solving area problems for non-right-angled triangles using worked examples.

For Year 11, Emma started Standard Maths with an introduction to compound interest calculations and discussed key syllabus points relevant to upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, exam stress led to mistakes in familiar content—"she lets her stress get the better of her," one tutor noted, which meant errors crept into algebra that she usually handled with ease.

During Year 7 trigonometry, skipping clear written steps and not labelling working made it harder to spot where calculations went wrong or to review answers later.

In a recent senior revision session, hesitation about making guesses slowed progress on unfamiliar problems; more time was spent waiting for confirmation than practicing reasoning through uncertainty.

When reading multi-step questions in financial maths, rushing led to misinterpreting key information and missing out on full marks.

Recent Achievements

One Shellharbour tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled to show her working in maths now clearly lays out each step when tackling z-score problems, making fewer errors and checking her answers independently.

In Year 8 science, another student has started asking targeted questions about electron shells—last term she rarely spoke up, but now actively seeks clarification to close knowledge gaps.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner who used to skip over tricky geometry tasks recently applied earlier formula work to solve new area questions without prompting, finishing all ten problems accurately on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

I would love to offer some feedback on Derek. I discussed this response with Jaidan last night and he requested that I let you know that he thinks Derek is AWESOME. From my observations,Derek quickly created a great rapport with Jaidan which is important for effective communication. I have queried Jaidan after each session and feel that he is benefitting greatly from Derek's input. He is feeling more confident and very comfortable to source support from Derek. I could not ask for more at this stage so thank you and more importantly please thank Derek on my behalf.

For now, we won't be continuing but we haven't ruled it out for the future.  We were very happy with your service and Jade is a beautiful person!  She has helped Keegan with her confidence in Maths and helped improve her grade this year.  We postponed tutoring at the end of term 1 because Jade had covered as much as she could before introducing new work, which we didn't want to do until it came up in school.  Therefore, we had a break to see how Keegan went, and she's had no problems thus far. If any problems pop up this term, I plan to get in contact with you and Jade ASAP!

Aiden is really happy with Faraz. He felt a bit awkward the first week but the interactions were much better the second week. Aiden finds it very useful because he needs guided revision (it's not necessarily about learning the content). Definitely a good investment!

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 Shellharbour Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Shellharbour Public School.
