The most important things a chemistry tutor can do for a student is not only assist them with their learning, but create a positive and encouraging environment as people work best when they believe in themselves. I also believe it is important to incorporate fun activities as people are more likely to achieve higher grades in subjects they find…

The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do is to listen to the student, as well as teaching. Encouraging the student to provide their input on a topic without having any pretentious predelection will allow the student to become more confident in their learning. I have the ability to gage the student's difficulty and work with them from that…

Inside ShorncliffeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Bella worked on mental maths and algebraic thinking, focusing on developing confidence with number patterns.

Year 11 Katie explored the differences between mechanical and non-mechanical waves and investigated real-world applications of wave amplitude using practical examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Daniel tackled advanced physics concepts, including Faraday's and Lenz's laws as well as conservation of energy in electromagnetic induction, with time spent practicing relevant formulae for assessment tasks.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Physics, one student relied heavily on the formula sheet but struggled to identify which equation matched the question, slowing their problem-solving. As noted: "Needs to check fundamentals of physics understanding eg. gravity."

In a Year 12 assessment, submitting only a partial draft limited feedback opportunities and left analysis unfinished.

A Year 8 Maths learner avoided writing out full working, which led to repeated decimal placement errors in multiplication—when prompted to show steps, they could pinpoint mistakes themselves.

Meanwhile, another student's concentration drifted after an exam day, leaving questions half-completed and feedback unaddressed for later sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Shorncliffe noticed that one high school student, who used to hesitate and guess when stuck, now actively asks clarifying questions and uses logical reasoning to work out solutions—something she hadn't done before.

Another secondary student made a clear shift by preparing specific questions before sessions and using her formula sheet independently during revision, showing new initiative with exam strategies.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously mixed up equivalent fractions confidently explained why 50/100 equals 1/2 during their session, then completed all ten fraction problems without errors.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Things are going well. Chris is doing a very good job. Since the tutoring sessions, my daughter seems to be more positive and has stated that Chris is explaining the work well, which makes it easier to understand. I am confident that this was the right decision and can't wait to see the results.

I would like to commend Mandy on her fantastic work with Jack.  She has been so patient and we could not have asked for a better match with our son. Their hard work has paid off as we have received several comments from Jack's  teacher telling us how well he is going in maths and that there has been an improvement.

The experience has been great and the results speak for them self. My son gained confidence as a result of the tutoring and i would gladly recommend you to my friends and family. The tutor was very pleasant to work with and very approachable.

Chemistry tutoring in Shorncliffe

Reactions written out in simple mathematical terms but still impossible to read and understand - chemistry can be a tough subject to learn. No wonder students get discouraged and give up before even trying.

Even if they've started out well, tackled science in lower grades with a good attitude, even if they've made a switch to Year 11 Chemistry easily, more often than not students hit a wall when it comes to Year 12 chemistry. This is when they need all the support they can get.
