Lilly
Chemistry Tutor Bundamba, QLD
I believe the most important things a chemistry tutor can do are to explain concepts clearly, adapt to each student’s learning style, and provide encouragement that builds confidence. A good tutor should be patient and supportive, helping students feel comfortable asking questions while also guiding them to think independently. Tutoring is not…

Outstanding Local Reviews
Inside Basin PocketTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 3 student Riley worked on two- and three-times tables as well as adding three two-digit numbers, connecting this to basic multiplication.
Year 8 student Sarah practised factorising algebraic expressions and reviewed fractions, including adding fractions with different denominators.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Jake focused on unit conversions—such as metres to centimetres—and explored area and volume calculations through real-world measurement scenarios.
Recent Challenges
Ava often avoided homework booklet tasks, saying they felt repetitive, and once delayed starting by misplacing the book—this left less time for revision of key English skills like punctuation.
In Year 6 math, Ashlee struggled to finish perimeter and area work in one session; a tutor noted, "we didn't get through as much as I'd hoped," after talkative moments slowed progress.
For Isla (Year 4–5), written math working was sometimes skipped or muddled—she mixed up answers with remainders during long division and relied heavily on finger counting instead of laying out her calculations step by step.
By the end of longer lessons, attention faded noticeably, especially during word problems or multi-step operations; "She needed constant reminders near the end," one tutor observed, meaning basic mistakes crept into subtraction and multiplication.
When homework is incomplete or focus slips, opportunities to deepen understanding are missed in real time.
Recent Achievements
One Basin Pocket tutor noticed that Isla, after previously making errors on her assessment task, was able to identify and correct her own mistakes with just a little prompting—she even scored significantly higher when retaking the test.
In a recent session with Harrison (Year 10), he started out unsure about Heron's rule but ended up using an online tool independently to reach his answer and then read aloud sections of his report, correcting himself as he went.
Meanwhile, Ashlee has been working hard on spelling: she struggled at first but finished her lesson by achieving a perfect score and confidently using each word in sentences.

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 Ipswich Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ipswich East State School.
