In India also, students use to come to me anytime for discussing their personal and academic problems. Being patient is my biggest strength. Apart from that, I am determined, helpful, kind and passionate. I am ambitious about being…

Be able to communicate information clearly and concisely, as well as being flexible enough to come up with different explanations for topics when a certain method isn't understood. I think it's also very important that a chemistry tutor is able to present the information in an engaging way, to help build a passion for the subject. I am friendly…

Modern curriculum is mostly based on a thought process that works for most students. But not for all, and school teachers don't usually have the capacity to take care of all the students individually. That's where a chemistry tutor can help. Everybody thinks about and understand scientific ideas and theories in their own, personal way. A tutor…

Chemistry Tutor Happy Valley, SA
I think that a chemistry tutor should be approachable - the student shouldn't be afraid to say that they don't understand something. After all, the tutor is there to help the student through any new concepts and ensure that they are taught in an easy to understand way. The tutor should be able to adapt to the student's most effective learning…

Chemistry Tutor Lonsdale, SA
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…

To assist them in the holistic learning process. Tutors should be able to provide competent and effective guidance to their students by not only helping them solve a problem or complete a task, but also providing them the tools required for independent learning capabilities. I believe my strengths as a tutor includes the ability to empathise with…

I can get the words out of a textbook and make them stick. Knowledge should be committed forever and understood, not simply memorised. I can personalise how the facts are delivered, and can support discussion and inquiry into the right answers, to allow students the room to crystallise information in their own minds in their own ways, to connect…

Inside Christie DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Jack worked through quadratic factorisation and expansion using online practice, then moved to solving simultaneous equations and applying index laws.

Year 9 student Riley focused on trigonometry concepts such as finding unknown angles and sides in triangles, plus revising probability questions similar to his recent assignment.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Zara practiced algebraic techniques with a focus on factorisation methods like difference of two squares and perfect square patterns, and also reviewed how to simplify surds using the index laws.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student hesitated to start her algebra assignment, describing "mental blanks" and freezing when faced with new problems—this often delayed progress on simultaneous equations.

In senior trigonometry, another student confused sine and cosine because of inconsistent labeling on triangles, leading to calculation errors even after grasping the theory.

One Year 5 learner regularly second-guessed her answers during times tables revision, asking for reassurance before continuing ("if I do not respond to her answer she will second guess it").

In Year 4, forgetting to complete homework meant previously mastered skills in time questions were quickly lost between sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Christie Downs noticed that Lara, a high school student, has started to identify her own knowledge gaps and now asks for targeted help on tricky topics like graphing parabolas—something she rarely did at the start of tutoring.

Sasha, also in high school, recently demonstrated significant growth by confidently solving all factorisation questions without errors during a session, a big step up from her early struggles with algebra.

Meanwhile, Nicole in Year 4 moved from needing her fingers for times tables to recalling her 5s and 10s instantly and finished a rounding pre-assessment with a jump from 0% to 75%.

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 Noarlunga Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lonsdale Heights Primary School.
