I think the most important thing as a chemistry tutor you need to be honest, be flexible, be patient, be a good listener, teach the student how to learn. I believe tutors fill a different role than teachers and parents, and that puts them in a unique position to support students. Personal relationships are foundational to student success -- the…

If it's a correct match of a student and a teacher, then definitely a tutor can change the overall personality of his student and in turn learn from him as well. It's not only about grades and positions but about life changing lessons that a tutor can give to his students. I am dedicated and true to my students, and according to me this is the…

Julian has improved since Armanat has come along. It's good to hear that Julian is progressing and where he needs to improve. I encourage him to do revision every week. Julian and I appreciate Amanats tutoring and his feed back, it's most helpful as is this report.

Inside EdgecliffTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Lily focused on fractions and circle geometry, practising calculations and using diagrams to reinforce understanding, while also revising key algebraic skills.

In Year 10, Ethan worked through logarithms and exponentials by solving equations and applying index laws to real examples.

For Year 4, Olivia concentrated on multiplication tables (2s and 3s) as well as telling the time using both written exercises and clock-based questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, messy written work and excessive crossing out made it hard to check solutions or spot where sign errors occurred—"needs to stop crossing out mistakes," noted one tutor.

A Year 12 Chemistry student hesitated when approaching back titration questions, lacking confidence in extracting key details from complex prompts.

In Year 4 maths, heavy reliance on finger counting and number charts slowed progress with addition over 10; this was especially evident without visual aids.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student reading too quickly missed crucial comprehension points in English tasks, often misinterpreting the question's requirements.

Recent Achievements

One Edgecliff tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated with pH calculations now tackling multi-step problems independently and even explaining polyprotic acids in her own words.

In another high school session, a Year 10 student moved from confusion to confidently applying the quadratic formula, solving equations with minimal guidance.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once relied heavily on counting boards surprised her tutor by checking her own work using skip-counting strategies she suggested herself—something she'd never tried before—and then finishing a missing numbers exercise entirely on her own.

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 Paddington Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ascham School.
