Chemistry Tutor Woollahra, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for the student is make him/her feel like he/she could ask any question there is. That's what makes the individual, one-on-one contact valuable in my opinion. Creating a setting where the student feels comfortable enough to do that is the most important thing. The student should feel like I'm there to help…

Be someone they can trust and look up to. If the student sees their tutor as someone to trust and as a role model, it really helps them learn and remember important skills that are being taught. I’m able to put myself into their shoes, as I have been in their position before. It lets me engage with them…

Listen to the student. I think it is of paramount importance for a tutor to listen to the problems the child is facing both academically and with the learning environment. In listening a tutor is then able to not only aid the student in what they are learning, but HOW they go about learning. I am organised and patient. I believe that as a tutor i…

More often than not, in my experience, half the battle is one of confidence rather than competence! I believe to be a successful tutor you should exude passion for your subject area, which is engaging and motivating for young pupils. I attribute my success as a tutor to my extensive knowledge and passion for my specialties (First-Class degree in…

I think as a tutor the most important thing you can do is to teach a student to want to learn, rather than just giving them all the answers, because if you give them positive reinforcement they can do the work themselves and feel much more accomplished. I think I am calm and understanding, but know when to be firm if I need to be to help the kids…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is being able to help their students free of charge when they're not in class, whether that be through social media or even by text.

I think the most important thing is not to dump all my knowledge onto a student, but to have them have their own lightbulb moment, and figure out ways and strategies that work for best them.

Tutors are different with teachers, of course. As a tutor, I can teach fewer students in a small classroom (1to1/1to 2), which means I can take care of each child, not only on their school work but also on their mental thinking ; I can answer their questions in time or straight away; I can help them to have a look of their homework questions or…

Create a judgment-free environment where students feel safe to ask questions and make mistakes.

And perhaps most importantly, help students develop their…

The most important things a tutor can do is to bring the best out of a student. Aside from assisting the problems students might have in schools, it is equally important for a tutor to act as a role model through showing great examples. On top of that, a tutor should also be empathetic in order to know the student's strengths and weaknesses so…

Inside Double BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Eva focused on finding the area of triangles and converting tricky fractions to decimals, using worked examples for clarity.

In Year 7, Emmanuel tackled review questions on expressions, equations, and inequalities while also refining his problem-solving approach as misconceptions arose.

Meanwhile, Year 3 student Isaac practiced multiplication with emphasis on the 2 and 3 times tables and spent time reading analogue clocks to reinforce understanding of time.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Chemistry student hesitated with back titration and struggled to express key ideas clearly—"she was unable to phrase this concept succinctly and with clarity," noted her tutor. This meant exam responses were incomplete or vague, affecting marks.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student's test performance suffered from weak time management; she often left questions unfinished.

In Year 4, over-reliance on counting boards slowed basic addition and subtraction, making it hard to move beyond simple sums without aids.

For a Year 8 student, skipping steps when rearranging equations led to confusion in algebra tasks and lost working marks.

Recent Achievements

One Double Bay tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who had previously struggled with pH calculations manage to work through multi-step problems independently after some targeted practice, even explaining the difference between strong and weak polyprotic acids.

In Year 8 chemistry, another student who was hesitant with solubility rules last week was able to solve multi-part questions on her own after extra explanation.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 3 has started checking her addition answers by counting in fives—a big shift from past weeks when she wouldn't suggest ways to self-check at all.

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 Double Bay Central Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Double Bay Public School.
