The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for their student is to understand how a student learns and behaves, then processes information and implement teaching strategies accordingly to these behaviours. Creating a safe and positive environment for learning is imperative to a student's ability to properly process information as motivation…

Chemistry Tutor Jamisontown, NSW
I believe the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do is to strive for excellence in their pupil. This is only achieved through hard work and understanding, and I as a tutor would push my pupils to their best without over exhausting them or diminishing their desire to learn. I'm understanding, intellectual, patient, and most importantly I…

It's important for a chemistry tutor to guide the student through some problems, not just teach the concepts. Even if you understand the concepts, it can sometimes be harder to approach the problems than the concepts themselves. I often use real-life examples to help students relate concepts to their everyday lives. I also share some small tricks…

Chemistry Tutor Orchard Hills, NSW
Provide value for the student. The student has signed up in the first place as they require help. Thus, as a chemistry tutor, I would want to provide that help to them in a personalised way such that it makes clear sense to them on the topic being taught. Communication with a younger audience. I have work experience as a sports instructor where I…

The most important thing a teacher in general can do for a student is to cultivate a positive mindset that they have the potential to do anything. It is a way of teaching them to believe in themselves. I believe teaching is more than just conveying information. A teacher has the power to mold a child's life. Hence as a teacher, it is crucial to…

The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is to help them understand what they themselves cannot. I believe it is a tutors job to also provide resources but the most important thing is to actually teach them what they cannot understand and once the tutor has done that then they can provide the adequate worksheets and past…

I think that the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is ensure that the information and skills being taught are useful to the student. To be able to identify the areas of which a student is having a hard time and adapt their way of teaching. Understanding that the students learning is the number one priority when teaching…

Teach them how to study. I feel that too many students think the only way to study is to read the text book or talk to the teacher. Although these are valid ways I feel that most students don't realise there are other ways to study. I personal prefer to watch videos explaining the subject, draw pictures and diagrams, and then make flash cards.…

The most important thing for a tutor to do is to make sure the student can feel confident, making the subject enjoyable to learn, rather than stressful and disheartening. I try to understand what part they are struggling with, so I can help them understand, rather than learn rote answers. So this means I'm patient, and a good…

First and foremost, a tutor should be able to connect with students on a personal level. The tutor should facilitate students to seek knowledge for themselves. The tutor should establish new ways to help students learn how to do work independently. I possess excellent organizational and communication skills. I also have good subject knowledge and…

Inside LeonayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alexia focused on mastering the area and circumference of circles, as well as tackling composite shapes like kites and trapezoids in preparation for an upcoming test.

In Year 10, lessons with Shivani included a deep dive into Pythagoras' Theorem using targeted worksheets and also explored the properties of angles through hands-on problem sets.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student worked through advanced calculus concepts, specifically rates of change and integrals, alongside revising probability topics such as distinguishing between independent and non-mutually exclusive events.

Recent Challenges

Home practise is essential to build a foundational knowledge of every topic. A Year 10 student was encouraged to practice more at home, as without this, reminders were needed on previously covered material during sessions, which slowed progress.

In Year 12 Maths, a pattern emerged: when setting up series or using calculus, the student hesitated to plan solutions independently and often relied on hints before recalling key steps.

For HSC Physics, one senior student's attention drifted when not actively involved in calculations—leading to gaps in understanding that lingered until he was prompted to lead parts of the lesson himself.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Leonay noticed Alistair now takes the initiative to write out full calculus equations and uses his formula sheet independently—just weeks ago, he'd hesitate unless prompted.

Meanwhile, Josh (Year 11) shifted from quietly following along to actively questioning unfamiliar terms during lessons on pKa values; this change helped him clarify key concepts on his own.

At the primary level, Alexia initially struggled with dividing algebraic equations but, after practicing aloud and working through targeted examples, managed to complete similar problems by herself before time was up.

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 Penrith City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Leonay Public School.
