One of the most important things a chemistry tutor can do for a student is give them a personalised teaching experience. Often there are other factors at play in the progress of a student's learning than just their mental ability. Being able to recognise and connect to the child will open up numerous learning pathways to allow them to reach their…

Chemistry Tutor St Ives, NSW
The most crucial part of tutoring is identifying and addressing a student's most significant weaknesses. Since teachers in school are focused on teaching the syllabus, they might not have time to cater to the needs of each individual student. Conversely, a chemistry tutor can spend time analysing someone's most common mistakes to find out which…

Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a chemistry tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs. Tutoring is only truly effective when the student is completely engaged with the tutor and I believe that this can only happen when the student believes that they…

The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is not only support them academically with resources (i.e., practice papers, notes, books), but also be there for them personally, as someone they can turn to for help as they grow and develop Although I am quite new to the area, I am able to sense when the speed of a student's…

It's the responsibility of a chemistry tutor to meet students where they are at. Tutors should come to learn the boundaries of what their students do and do not understand and create structure and context for pushing those boundaries to ultimately envelop the knowledge they need to succeed. This can sometimes mean "back-filling" missing knowledge…

I think a chemistry tutor should be capable of answering any questions discussing any uncertainties that a student may have. These should be explained clearly and if the student does not understand initially, the tutor should continue to explain in alternate ways (e.g. rewording sentences and visual aids such as diagrams) until the student…

A student should inspire students to be creative and learn in their own ways.

A tutor must first create a positive friendly relationship with the student. After this, the student will have trust in their tutor and will listen to the tutor's instructions.

The most important part of tutoring is to make sure the student grasps a concept entirely and doesn't have any gaps in their knowledge before moving onto new topics.

A tutor should provide a student a "light-bulb" moment, where they suddenly understand a concept, gain an idea or know how to answer a question. Light-bulb moments allow students to gain confidence in the subject, and thus achieve the goal of a higher mark. I believe it is also important for tutors to provide tips for dealing with stress,…

Everything is going well. Frances is great.

Inside Terrey HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Viktoria focused on simplifying proper and improper fractions using shared whiteboard examples, and also practised calculating perimeter and area through independent worksheets and revision of missed homework questions.

Year 9 student Lachlan worked on factorising quadratic equations, grouping like terms, and used Desmos to visualise graphs for a better grasp of algebraic relationships between x and y.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Brandon revised simultaneous equations with X and Y intercepts, explored the quadratic formula, and discussed geometry concepts from recent test material.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, one student repeatedly lost marks when questions required justification or a specific number of significant figures—he wrote, "solve" when the question demanded "evaluate," which cost him full credit in exam conditions.

In Year 11, illegible handwriting and incomplete working out meant that even correct logic was sometimes not credited: as noted, "handwriting is sometimes illegible—it is unhelpful and often times marked down because the examiner cannot read what you wrote."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner's attention drifted during activities, making it difficult to sustain focus for more than ten minutes at a time; this shortened concentration led to tasks being left unfinished.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Terrey Hills noticed Brandon, a Year 11 student, who previously relied on hints for trigonometry and surds, now confidently tackles advanced GCSE-level papers independently—even choosing tougher questions without prompting.

In Year 8, Veronica used to overlook key details in word problems but has started highlighting keywords herself, which led her to complete all multiplication worksheets accurately under timed conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student, Viktoria, who once hesitated with long division, surprised her tutor this week by working through multi-step division questions alone and finishing them before asking for any help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

he tutoring is definitely going well. Minyu is getting a lot out of Nima's tutoring. She has now decided that she likes Maths and has been getting some good results. We are happy.

JJ has been fabulous so far, he has just the right disposition for Annabelle, he is patient, calm and informative and Annabelle has already developed new strategies and enjoying maths more than when she first started.

Shaneel made a great first impression with my son, Jack. Jack maintained his level of interest and concentration throughout the hour session (which we were surprised at as this is often a problem for him!) and he is already looking forward to his next session with him.

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