Chemistry Tutor Long Jetty, NSW
By first giving the student the necessary skills to complete a range of questions this equips them with the tools to complete any question. I then allow the student to make the mistake first and learn from it by helping them change what they did. This is then followed up with an example response to a question then the student is given the chance…

Create a supportive and positive learning environment: It’s crucial to establish trust, where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. A positive, encouraging atmosphere helps boost their confidence and motivation. I think a strength I have as a tutor is communication. As it assists me in breaking down concepts into…

The most important thing a chemistry tutor could do is create a safe environment for the student. Learning can be more comprehensive and explicit once the student is comfortable around their tutor’s presence. The tutor also must maintain and adhere to an elaborate study plan to help the student. I am very patient and would never snap even on…

Chemistry Tutor Shelly Beach, NSW
I believe one of the most important things a chemistry tutor can do for a student is be encouraging and understanding. As a student it can be hard and that is the reason you are getting tutoring. So to have someone encourage you can be a great reason to keep learning. I think my strengths as a tutor would be my patience and communication skills,…

I think that as a chemistry tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them. Each student will learn differently so it is extremely important that as a tutor you tailor your teaching approach to that student and their needs in order for them to learn best. As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the…

Inside TacomaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex worked on understanding Roman numerals up to 50 and practiced solving word problems involving time and clocks.

Year 8 student Mia focused on graphing linear equations, including plotting both linear and non-linear relationships, and also explored mean and median using real data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Daniel strengthened his grasp of trigonometric ratios by writing and applying them to solve right-angled triangle questions, alongside reviewing basics of algebraic equations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, a student often avoided writing full working when expanding brackets, leading to missed sign errors—one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in equations with negatives."

Meanwhile, in Year 10 revision of parabolic graphs and inequalities, time management during practice tests was an issue; unfinished problems left key feedback unaddressed.

In primary levels (Year 4–5), another student struggled to recall times tables under pressure and sometimes erased answers repeatedly instead of correcting them openly during fraction-to-decimal drills. This slowed their progress through multi-step calculations and made review sessions less effective.

Recent Achievements

One Tacoma tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who'd been stuck on simultaneous equations—after working through the substitution method step by step, he solved new problems independently. In another session, a Year 10 student, previously hesitant to speak up when confused, started actively asking questions during lessons on surds and binomial products.

Meanwhile, in primary sessions, a younger student who used to rush through word problems without checking now takes time to explain her reasoning out loud before answering.

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 Tuggerah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tacoma Public School.
