Chemistry Tutor Penrith, NSW
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 Penrith, NSW
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…

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…

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…

Chemistry Tutor Cambridge Gardens, NSW
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…

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…

At the end of the day, I value results as a chemistry tutor. Helping students meet their goals is key. Equally important is injecting fun into the learning process, making it more engaging and exciting for students, so they eagerly anticipate each session. As a tutor I have good problem solving skills to address any situation that arises.…

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 a chemistry tutor can do for a student is to help them understand what they themselves cannot.

First and foremost, a chemistry 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…

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…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to realise when a student actually understands a topic, or if they need more help. Too often students will say that they understand but they don't want to admit they still don't. The tutor should be able to break down a subject in multiple ways, and choose which way fits particular students' learning…

Gabriel was extremely helpful as a tutor and was very keen on building skills and encouraging improvement with my brother. He was always actively engaged with Soobaan and I would keep him in mind for tutoring in future.

Inside PenrithTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Daniel worked through calculus differentiation, focusing on applying the chain rule and product rule to a range of function types.

For Year 10, Jessica practised solving simultaneous equations and explored how bearings relate to trigonometry using real-world navigation examples.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Liam reviewed patterns and sequences within selective school exam practice papers, identifying number rules and extending simple patterns.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with homework completion in calculus, leading to gaps when applying differentiation rules and missing out on valuable feedback—"Homework was uncompleted, and should be paid more attention to within the near future."

In Year 12 Chemistry, one student's tendency to get hung up on mistakes visibly shook her confidence during balancing equations; as a tutor observed, "she gets hung up on mistakes, which greatly affects her confidence if she makes a mistake."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner repeatedly misread multi-step probability questions by skimming for keywords instead of highlighting details. This habit led to repeated small errors and wasted exam time hunting for corrections.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Penrith noticed Samantha, a Year 12 chemistry student, now confidently tackles long response questions by breaking them down herself and applying her titration knowledge—something she hesitated with previously.

Max, in Year 10, recently started using opposite operations to solve algebraic expressions and expanded brackets independently, showing much more initiative during problem-solving than before.

Meanwhile, Raessah (Year 3) surprised her tutor by planning out her extended writing pieces and skimming texts for main ideas on her own instead of waiting for guidance; she also used physical money to work out change without prompting.

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 St Nicholas of Myra Primary School.
