Chemistry Tutor Victoria Point, QLD
A common misconception within tutoring is the difference between teaching and doing for. The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do is broaden and enhance the knowledge of the students in a way they understand. Within reason, an improvement in ability is far more important than an improvement in grades. I excel at building a bond between my…

Chemistry Tutor Redland Bay, QLD
Making sure that the student is understanding what the tutor is explaining and keeping the student motivated, as there isn't much use of a student being tutored if they cannot understand or if they are not motivated. I am able to explain things in a way that are easy to understand, I help the student stay out of frustration and help them approach…

Chemistry Tutor Redland Bay, QLD
The best kind of confidence builder is being able to understand something on your own so the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is to get the student to a point where they don't need a tutor anymore. I'm a very patient person which I think is useful when trying to explain something tricky. I also get along great with…

It was lovely meeting Jessie yesterday and she and Mikayla clicked immediately. It was great to see Mikayla engaging so well when strategies were explained and we are sure they will work very well together.

Inside Macleay IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ella worked on BIDMAS order of operations and explored rational versus irrational numbers using a revision worksheet.

Year 10 student Taylor focused on coordinate geometry—calculating distances with the distance formula, determining gradients, and sketching linear equations.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jakob practiced annuities and loan repayments with targeted General Maths exam questions and reviewed least squares regression lines for data analysis.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 General Maths, Jakob made some small mistakes in his working during annuities and loan repayment tasks; over several sessions, these errors persisted because written steps were skipped or not double-checked.

A Year 8 student tackling perimeter and area questions often confused instructions—such as reading 'perimeter' for 'area'—leading to repeated recalculation and loss of confidence mid-task.

Meanwhile, a senior Physics student struggled with matching answers on logic gates and pulley system problems when practice was limited to familiar question types rather than the challenging exam-style scenarios likely to appear on assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Macleay Island tutor noticed Nisha, a high school student, starting to choose when to use her graphics calculator and moving between questions and examples with more independence than before—she now decides which tools to use without waiting for prompts.

Jakob, also in high school, shifted from needing guidance on annuities and interest calculations to independently solving problems and even drawing graphs from matrices by lesson's end.

In Year 2, Claira has become noticeably faster at completing double- and single-digit addition, now working through long addition sums mostly on her own after previously relying on finger counting.

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 Russell Island Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like MacLeay Island State School.
