Chemistry Tutor Waterloo Corner, SA
I consider the most important thing as a chemistry tutor is the success of my student academically through personalised lessons. I feel an obligation to ensure that my students pass or exceed in the topics they bring to the lessons and aim to empower them to create independent learners. I would say my strengths are being able to break down complex…

The most important things a chemistry tutor can do for a student are teach the difficult topics as simply as possible by providing examples for each topic, which makes it easy for the student to remember and understand. Also, a tutor should be someone who understands their students' needs, behaviour, and learning pace, and be flexible in their…

Being able to consistently be present for my students is the most important thing to do as a chemistry tutor. Through my experience, I have either built a online channel I can use to communicate with them or their parents to check in on their progress at home. Doing this allows the students to have support 24/7 even outside tutoring lessons in…

Chemistry Tutor Salisbury Downs, SA
Most importantly, a student should be motivated and encouraged so that he studies with interest. He should be made to feel that if he failed to understand a concept once, it is perfectly fine and he should keep trying. He should be taught the actual meaning of the word 'Competition' , which is to beat his / her own last performance and not anyone…

Chemistry Tutor Burton, SA
A tutor can help a student grow not only in their academics but also as a human. A tutor is different from a teacher as they can be more personal with a student during 1 on 1 teaching. This gives room for conversations which can help the students grow. Since i was recently a student, I believe that I understand what students are looking for from a…

I believe that a chemistry tutor should make a student feel safe enough that they ask as many questions as they need to ask in order to fully understand a topic. A tutor should encourage the student to believe in their own abilities and develop the student's confidence to allow them to eventually approach and solve problems on their own. I believe…

Melissa is an excellent tutor who has already created a great rapporr with Poppy. She explains concepts clearly and relates them to real life experiences which provide a greater depth of understanding. We highly recommend Melissa as a tutor.

Inside St KildaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Suhana worked on partitioning numbers, basic multiplication and division, and an introduction to simple fractions using visual aids.

For Year 7, Archie revisited BIDMAS and operations with fractions after receiving his test results, focusing on improving accuracy in multi-step calculations.

In Year 8, Amelia tackled the area of composite shapes and reviewed key area formulas, reinforcing understanding through targeted practice problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, a student often avoided back-checking their work on composite shapes unless prompted—"she did not backcheck her work unless prompted"—leading to repeated calculation errors that could have been caught earlier.

In Year 10 science, another found it hard to approach questions on mitosis and meiosis without hints, hesitating instead of working through unfamiliar material.

Meanwhile, a primary learner struggled to stay engaged during number tracing and needed frequent redirection; incomplete focus meant basic writing practice sometimes stalled.

A Year 7 student tended to say "I don't know" quickly and rarely explained her thinking out loud, making it harder to identify where understanding broke down during fraction addition tasks.

Recent Achievements

One St Kilda tutor noted a big change in a Year 10 student who now double-checks her maths work without prompting—something she'd avoided before—and caught all her own errors while using Pythagoras' theorem.

A Year 7 boy has begun pointing out his mistakes as he works, rather than waiting for correction, and is making use of his calculator to backcheck answers—a habit he didn't have earlier in the term.

Meanwhile, a Year 2 student recently managed to fill in missing numbers from 1 to 10 within seconds, having previously struggled with number order and often mixed up digits like 16 and 61.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Leon has made some extreme improvement over this Term. In the last 3 weeks he has achieved 5th and 2nd!!! in the class mathematics tests. This has improved his confidence immensely and he shows more enthusiasm in his tutoring sessions. Very happy with Jordan.

We are very happy with how things are going with Sam - he is great at explaining concepts and Ruby seems to be responding positively to his style of coaching.

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 Burton Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Burton Primary School.
