I think the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student, especially in subjects relating to the sciences or math, is to properly build the foundations of the subject. To make sure that their basic understanding of a subject is there before advancing to more difficult parts of a course. I believe by establishing these foundations,…

A tutor plays a crucial role in shaping the moral values and basic manners of a student's life. Although tutoring primarily focuses on academics, I believe that tutors can significantly influence a student's overall development. Rather than treating the class as a whole, a chemistry tutor should give individual attention to each student,…

I consider the primary goals of a chemistry tutor to be increasing their student's depth of understanding of the topic, teaching how to apply their understanding, and how to practice their skills.

Inside SwanbourneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Alice focused on exponential functions and polynomial expansion, working through graphing exercises and algebraic manipulation.

In Year 10, Ben tackled the circle theorem with real-world diagrams and practised dividing polynomials by linear factors.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Emily consolidated her understanding of long division alongside calculating perimeter and area for simple shapes, using hands-on examples to reinforce key steps.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student sometimes rushed into solving equations without first writing down all variables, as one tutor observed: "It is always best practice to slow down and write down all your variables prior to starting any working out." This led to confusion with interpreting multi-step algebra questions.

In Year 11, after a recent test and holiday, motivation noticeably dropped—distraction made it hard to push through new content in trigonometry.

A primary student occasionally misread larger numbers in worded problems, leading to extra time spent clarifying the task rather than progressing with calculations.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Swanbourne recently saw Reeve, a Year 5 student, begin to tackle complex maths worksheets with hardly any help—just months ago he hesitated and needed constant guidance, but now he independently uses strategies like pen-to-paper working and back checking.

In high school, Hunter has started slowing down to read tricky finance questions more carefully during ATAR prep, after previously rushing and missing key details; this shift has already improved his test accuracy.

Another older student who used to forget calculator steps under pressure is now taking written "operations manuals" into assessments, leading to far fewer avoidable mistakes.

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 Claremont Community Hub & Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Scotch College.
