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 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…

It's the responsibility of a chemistry tutor to meet students where they are at.

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…

Inside Wheeler HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Tom worked on adding and multiplying fractions, as well as building confidence with basic algebra and graphing simple equations.

For Year 7, Ella focused on understanding angles—including scalene triangles—and learned how to calculate perimeter and area for various shapes using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Jack tackled solving more complex algebraic equations and reviewed ratio concepts while practicing questions from a recent test paper.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student still relies on finger counting for multiplication and division, leading to slow progress and frequent errors in problem-solving.

In a Year 10 algebra session, she needed reminders to show all working rather than just providing the answer, which hid calculation slips until much later.

A Year 7 student repeatedly used multiple coloured pens when working through times tables—this habit took up lesson time without helping understanding.

For one senior maths learner, over-reliance on calculators for basic sums meant formula recall suffered, especially when asked to find area without prompts. The result: gaps persisted where fluency was most needed.

Recent Achievements

One Wheeler Heights tutor noted a high school student who, after initially struggling with constructing formulas for mean in statistics, was able to independently tackle a complex question by creating the formula herself—a significant step up from previous sessions where she needed guidance at each step.

Another older student, who used to quietly guess when stuck, has started voicing her problem-solving process aloud and now actively asks clarifying questions during algebra lessons.

Meanwhile, a younger learner made noticeable progress in division by using multiplication knowledge to check her answers and confidently completed two-digit division problems without needing reminders.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jenny is an excellent tutor. She was incredibly patient with Zoe and a really good teacher. Zoe was really happy and confident working with her and felt safe to ask questions and sometimes because of her illness she could not really concentrate but Jenny stayed patient and really worked well with her. I highly recommend Jenny.

Sam's been great for my Sam and after over a year of other tutoring which Sam hated, I can't recall one time when Sam has not wanted to do his tutoring with Sam. As a result Sam's far more engaged with Maths and has moved up a group at school for next year! Thank you for Sam's persistence and flexibility on making learning fun and exciting for my Sam!

Ben is very diligent and commited. He tutored both my daughter's who showed marked improvement. He prepared for sessions and always kept us informed of the girls progress. He is a thoughtful and considerate guy and the girls responded well to his demeanour. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone that wants a tutor to elevate their child's academic performance.

Chemistry tutoring in Wheeler Heights

With each chemistry lesson, there's more and more information. After a while, it gets harder and harder to pinpoint how it's all connected.

No wonder most students get overwhelmed and start memorising instead of understanding the concepts. Or worse, they just give up.

Chemistry Tutor Wheeler Heights

We've heard it time and time again, you’ve probably heard it too. Some students connect everything as they go, but some are just stuck. This kind of attitude can lead to poor grades, but it can also lead to a crack in your child's self-esteem.

So what can you do?

The truth is - everyone struggles. Some might get there easier or quicker, but everyone struggles at some point. We know that and the Wheeler Heights chemistry tutors we work with know that, too.

All it takes is a bit of guidance by someone who's been there before. Someone who can foster the right attitude and study habits, but most importantly, someone who clicks with your child - a tutor who truly cares about your child's needs and goals.

That's what we do.

We find tutors and organise one-on-one chemistry tutoring in Wheeler Heights, at your home or any other place that works for you.

There are no extra fees, just a simple hourly rate. You don't like the tutor? No need to worry, the first lesson comes as a risk-free trial and we find you a better match. Simple as that.
