For most students, biology doesn't seem that hard. The content isn't that intimidating and if you put in the time, more often than not results will follow.
It is vital that a biology tutor creates a welcoming, friendly and positive atmosphere to show the student that they are willing and able to help aid them in their learning. A tutor should ensure that the student feels as though they can ask questions to clarify their understanding of content and that they have control over their own learning and…
Be supportive, offer the one-on-one help that they may not be getting at school and being able to explain concepts or ideas in a slightly different way to their usual teacher to give them a different perspective and way of thinking through tough questions or activities. I have real-life science experience, so kids love hearing about that. I am…
The most important aspects of tutoring are:
-Being the students friend to improve the communication between student and tutor
-Being patient and working with the students strengths and weaknesses
-Encouraging the student to motivate them
-Helping the student achieve their academic goals though this encoragement

Provide the student with a positive enforcement for learning, encourage their development and assist in their confidence development. Strengths: Good communication skills and an ability to relate to high school students, as I'm not much older than them. Weaknesses: Helping students with questions without showing them the answer straight…
Be a role model and show them that it’s ok not to not be able to understand something at the beginning, but there is always a way around it to better their understandings. It’s also important for a biology tutor to help students reach their goals, whether that be getting certain grades or finishing an assignment. I’m a patient person and can…
Help them understand things in their way and find or make a method their own. A tutor can't impose a method on anyone, but has to help them learn in a method suited just for the individal. I am extremely patient and am good at explaining a concept in multiple…
In my opinion, the most important role of a biology tutor is to not only retell information and explain answers but give students tools in studying different subjects that can be applicable to their independent study. In this way, the student can learn how to independently intake knowledge; a skill that will serve them not only in the year or…
Chemistry and mathematic are actually not boring, and difficult to understand. My responsibility is to inform students that chemistry, and mathematic are both interesting and important, not only for excelling in academics but also for their applications in daily problem solving. My greatest strength is my ability to explain chemistry, and…
Thanks for the follow up. We are happy with Aprinder and pleased with the progress Flynn is making.
We are really happy with Vivienne. She is very patient and explains things extremely clearly. Already had a 74% which for a child who is almost maths dialexic this was fabulous. Anyway we are very happy with her
Thankyou
Hi Erica, thank you for your email. Things have started well with Jacob and hopefully they will continue in the same way. I think in this case, the difference for Jamie is that she can ask Jacob about a problem that she is struggling with and he can answer her straight away. Vivian was able to answer her too but it took her longer and I think the time factor was what was frustrating Jamie. As I'm sure you are aware in year 12 there is such a time crunch that any delays just add more pressure.

For most students, biology doesn't seem that hard. The content isn't that intimidating and if you put in the time, more often than not results will follow.
No wonder most students get discouraged once they move up the curriculum. Getting the results becomes less about putting in the hours by going over the concepts and more about structuring the knowledge and connecting the dots. It's not simple revision anymore, and without someone to guide them, students can easily lose focus.
If you are thinking about finding someone to support your child's learning, we can match you with a local biology tutor in Christie Downs.
We've found that through guided learning, students are more likely to pick up skills they can use to learn other subjects and even make good decisions in their personal life as well. All we need is to have a chat with you so we can figure out what kind of support your child needs.
And this is how it works.
The tutoring is done at your home or a local library, wherever works for you. And the fees are simple - just an hourly rate, no extra fees.
The first lesson comes as a risk-free trial with a money-back guarantee. That means if for whatever reason your child doesn't click with the tutor right away, no need to worry - you let us know and we set up another trial.
As simple as that.
