I have good grades, knowledge, a Master's degree and experience in the field. I believe it is important to find a chemistry tutor who is patient, who truly enjoys teaching, enjoys the company of his or her students and has the ability to build a rapport with them so that they can learn. This, I promise you, I can do. I like to explain the concept…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things a chemistry tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students.…

listening to students and finding out what they want out of the sessions and how they prefer to learn. By doing so we can offer a method of learning that's customized to them as an individual and not as a class. Learning occurs in many formats and a chemistry tutor should provide a format that isn't inherently applied in schools - aiding in the…

As for me, I believe that one of the most crucial things that a chemistry tutor should bring to a student is the passion for learning. We have to encourage and help them to find out the interesting of the subject they are studying I'm a good listener, a diligent person. I'm eager to try new methods to help students with their problems, and my…

The single most important aspect for a chemistry tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off.…

Be patient. Not everyone is able to understand everything at the same rate and it can take time. You have to be patient with the student and be able to explain the same concept ina variety of ways to be able to adapt the core principles of the topic to the student. I have a pretty firm grasp on topics such as maths and science and have been able…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for students is to give them the confidence to believe in their abilities in order for them to view themselves as capable enough to learn new things, work hard and perform their best. This starts with the tutor identifying the student's area of need and working hard alongside them to improve it.…

The lesson went well with Alex. He had a lovely approach with Kieran, patient and methodical. For the more complex questions he was prompt to come back to Kieran by email with some suggested formula when he didn't have the solutions on the spot, which was much appreciated.

Inside South GeelongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eliz focused on double-digit multiplication and long division, then moved into understanding factors through practical exercises.

For Year 8, James tackled linear equations using the y = mx + c format and progressed to solving simultaneous equations by both substitution and elimination methods.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Olivia worked intensively on calculus topics such as applying the chain rule and quotient rule for differentiation, alongside finding tangents and stationary points in exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, one student often forgot to bring her books and calculator home, which meant her tutor couldn't track progress on Pythagoras' Theorem or help with specific classroom gaps.

A Year 11 student tackling calculus was observed "skipping a step or going too quickly," especially when anti-differentiating, leading to missed marks on problems with fractions.

For a younger learner in Year 3 English, hesitance in reading aloud led to flat intonation—pauses at commas and question inflections were sometimes missed.

When materials are missing or routines are unsettled, targeted feedback is delayed and small misunderstandings can snowball into test anxiety.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in South Geelong noticed a Year 11 student who had previously hesitated with differentiation now methodically eliminates incorrect answers on multiple choice problems and confidently uses her calculator to check gradients—an impressive step up from earlier sessions.

Another high school student reported feeling ahead in class this year, having worked on algebra topics during tutoring before they were covered at school, and recently compiled all her notes independently for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who used to second-guess herself when reading aloud now finishes passages smoothly and even asks for more challenging words each session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for your email Tracey is a very attentive and professional tutor so we are hoping that is will make a difference to Lucia's results with maths.

Matthew seems to be of to a good start. Vivian seems to have the competence and patience that other tutors have not had. We are happy to continue working with Vivian and hopefully Matt will eventually show signs of improvement.

I'm very pleased with Carly at this stage Nerys' attitude towards Math has changed already and that's extremely positive.  Carly is always there on time and stays the full hour, she also communicates effectively about any schedule changes. So far so good.

Chemistry tutoring in South Geelong

Chemistry can seem a bit technical. It's all abstract formulas and content that seems impossible to learn and barely manageable to memorise. The material keeps piling up and how are students supposed to truly learn anything when they're constantly missing something and falling behind?

And it's not only about the grades. Sure, students who struggle with chemistry want to pass that test and get their grades up. It's usually their only end goal and that's completely understandable. However, we've found that once students start catching up and chemistry doesn't seem like such an enormous hurdle, their self-confidence improves as well.

Chemistry Tutor South Geelong

When they have someone to guide them, make sense of the clutter of information and demands, students tend to struggle less in other areas as well.
