Shireen has been a great tutor for our son over the last two years. He started working with her when he was struggling with math concepts in year 8 and has gone on to be one of the top students in his class. He has also picked up learning skills and now is confident enough to learn on his own. I would highly recommend Shireen.Sujesh
Year 7 student Tyler worked on adding and subtracting decimals as well as rounding numbers up and down, using his school maths booklet to prepare for an upcoming grading exam.
In Year 10, Chloe practised calculating compound interest and depreciation in financial mathematics, alongside interpreting bivariate data graphs with a focus on plotting non-linear relationships.
Meanwhile, Erika in Year 11 revised normal distribution concepts—including Z-scores and percentage calculations—before tackling dividend yield problems and applying her skills to past exam-style questions.
In Year 12 Mathematics, a student's study outside lessons was minimal—"not a lot of study being completed outside of school time (approx. 1 hour weekly), and notes not dated"—which led to persistent gaps in Financial Maths and Bivariate Data.
Missed or incomplete homework also slowed progress; as one tutor observed, "he explained it was because of lack in knowledge to complete the questions."
In Year 7 Algebra, another student's maths workbook was described as "a little more organised and tidy but we will work on that for next year," showing how messy layout can hinder reviewing working and tracking errors.
One Waratah tutor recently noticed a Year 12 student who had previously struggled with interpreting complex exam questions now using new strategies like underlining key terms and breaking down prompts, allowing him to complete band 5–6 maths problems almost entirely on his own.
In another session, a high school student who once hesitated to start tasks independently is now attempting and finishing most homework without outside help, even going beyond what was assigned.
Meanwhile, a Year 8 student showed clear improvement by tackling ratio word problems step-by-step out loud—where before she would stay silent when unsure—and successfully solved them solo by the end of the lesson.
Why would you ever need to know about combustion, corrosion, and electrochemical processes? Most students wonder about that too, especially if they don't plan on going into science.
Chemistry can seem abstract, learning about elements and matter, how equilibrium occurs and how chemical systems react. No wonder students get discouraged.
All it takes for a student to go from a mild distaste for chemistry to understanding what is scribbled in the textbook is someone to point out what to avoid and where to put in that extra hour of revision. It's like with any problem situation in schooling and even in their personal life, students need to know about using effective strategies. Then all you need is persistence, staying on task until you reach your goal.
If your child is struggling in school, chances are you've already thought about finding a tutor. Be it passing a test, getting your child’s grade up or preparing for a career in science, we work with local Waratah chemistry tutors who can get your child to stand on their own two feet. This is how we do it.
We organise one-on-one lessons at your home, at a time that fits your schedule. There are no hidden fees, just a simple hourly rate.
Not happy with the first lesson? No need to worry, it comes as a risk-free trial and we find you another local chemistry tutor in Waratah who is a better match.
