Chemistry Tutor Horsley, NSW
As a tutor's job is to be supplementary to a students learning, the most vital role a tutor can fulfill is to be sympathetic and understanding to a student's situation, and to be adaptive in the way they assist the student in order to maximise their potential. My communication skills allow me to help students understand complex topics and how they…

Inside AvondaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophia worked on strengthening her multiplication and subtraction skills, as well as reading time and handling simple data questions using visual examples.

For Year 9, Cailyn practised combining operations with fractions—including division and subtraction—and then applied these to algebraic substitutions with decimal numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nicholas reviewed financial mathematics by tackling problems involving deposits and simple interest, followed by practice with real-life scenarios like vehicle registration fees.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was hesitant to show working when tackling algebra, often saying "I can do this in my head," but hidden sign errors crept in, slowing progress.

In Year 8 maths, one learner relied heavily on calculators for fractions and area conversions; this masked gaps in understanding unit changes and formatting answers.

Another senior student showed difficulty recalling linear equation rules between lessons—without regular review or written notes, the same mistakes resurfaced.

For a Year 7 class, untidy setting out and skipping steps during substitution led to confusion over negatives. This meant precious time was lost correcting old errors rather than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

One Avondale tutoring session saw a Year 11 student, Daniel, shift from hesitating over tax instalment questions to independently reworking problems until he got them right—he'd previously needed constant prompting.

Meanwhile, Chelsea in Year 10 had struggled with index laws but now applies them confidently across multiplication, division, and brackets without reminders.

A younger student, Mia, who used to get frustrated and avoid tough subtraction problems, recently stuck with a challenging question until she solved it and then asked for more practice.

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 Dapto District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dapto Public School.
