Science Tutor Hobart, TAS
I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to create a safe and encouraging learning environment, build the student’s confidence, and help them develop independent learning skills. Beyond explaining content, a tutor should listen carefully, be patient, and adapt their teaching to the student’s needs. By doing so, a…

A tutor needs to help the students understand the concepts and the "why" behind the problem. This allows them to be able to solve problems on their own and increase their confidence. Creating a judgment-free and supportive environment, where students can ask questions and mistakes are not punished, is essential for a tutor to help a student…

I think a successful tutor encourages a love of learning and can motivate a student to continue beyond initial challenges. I can explain things clearly. I also believe I am good at setting people at ease - I'm approachable, and I know what it's like to be the shy…

Ensure they meet there every need and ensure a student is enjoying their learning, because if there not enjoying they won’t do well. Being polite and patient with students is crucial as it may take a while for them to understand but encouraging them and having their back will bring out their confidence and it will show in their results aswell.…

Science Tutor Lenah Valley, TAS
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the subject matter they are teaching enjoyable to learn. This is important because learning should be something we actively engage in and if a tutor can make it so the students seek out learning more readily then they have already succeeded in some sense. As a tutor my strengths are…

Not making a student feel judged or discouraged, and instead building their confidence and instilling a positive mindset towards learning. Paying attention to the areas students struggle most with and making sure they are progressing or focusing on these areas each session. I am an active listener, and great at taking the perspective of other…

Inside HobartTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Scarlett practised identifying and using Greek and Latin roots in vocabulary, as well as applying rules for prefixes and suffixes in word-building activities.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee revised stoichiometry with a focus on mole-mass conversions, then worked through practice questions on organic compound IUPAC naming.

Year 12 Biology student Charli recapped content on the innate and adaptive immune systems by answering targeted multiple-choice questions and reviewing key principles from recent class notes.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Chemistry, Aimee sometimes became overwhelmed by multi-step questions and "overcomplicated the nature of some questions," as her tutor observed.

She occasionally missed key details in exam-style problems by not breaking them into manageable parts, leading to confusion about which rules or equations to apply.

Meanwhile, Scarlett (Year 7 English) tended to answer quickly without processing, often skipping words when reading aloud—this made it harder for her to spot run-on sentences or craft detailed responses.

During creative writing, hesitation and doubt caused delays; her initial ideas stayed unstructured instead of being shaped into a draft.

Recent Achievements

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee started attempting stoichiometry questions ahead of lessons, even on topics not yet taught at school—showing new initiative and willingness to tackle challenges early.

Meanwhile, Charli (Year 12 Biology) moved from hesitation to actively asking clarifying questions during sessions and began drawing her own diagrams to test understanding without notes.

At a younger level, Cameron demonstrated more independence by bringing their creative writing draft for feedback and openly incorporating suggestions into revisions.

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 State Library of Tasmania—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's Collegiate School.
