Chemistry Tutor North Shore, VIC
In my opinion, the most important things that a tutor can do for a student would be explaining concepts to them in ways that the individual student can understand as well as aiding them in memorisation and application of the concept tutored. Moreover, I strongly believe that it is extremely important for a tutor to leave a student without self…

Personally for me, the teachers at school never went into what you really need to succeed in the HSC, and being one student in a class of 30 meant most times your questions were left unanswered. Having being tutored, having someone available to ask questions that I did not understand was very helpful throughout my schooling career, and I hope to…

A tutor’s most important role is to support and guide the student’s learning in a way that builds their confidence.

A tutor must be able to not only provide feedback, but also be able to respond to a student that is active in the process of learning. They must be able to structure learning around the student's difficulties in a topic, and give a pre-determined plan of how they are going to make that student's difficulties a strength. Because of this, they…

This starts with the tutor identifying the student's area of need and working hard alongside them to improve it.…

Tutors should be patient when tutoring and be prepared to repeat themselves or explain something in different ways. Tutors should design lessons that are of interest to the student but are also at the appropriate level for the student's ability. Tutors should be encouraging when students do something well and supportive when students make…

Inside ThomsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Eliz focused on double digit multiplication, the long division method, and explored factors and highest common factors through practical examples.

For Year 9, Amy practised solving linear equations and worked through probability questions using frequency tables and bar charts to build her statistics skills.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled calculus by revising chain rule differentiation and anti-differentiation, then applied integration techniques to find areas under curves with exam-style problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly forgot to bring her school books and calculator, which made it hard to check her class progress or work on current tasks; as one tutor observed, "needs to try to remember to bring her books and calculator home so I am able to see where she is up to in class."

In senior Maths Methods, a Year 11 student hesitated with multi-step calculus questions due to second-guessing—she often paused even when her working was correct.

During test conditions, a Year 10 student's stress led to avoidable mistakes despite strong content knowledge. This tension was clear when the clock started ticking.

Recent Achievements

Real initiative in preparing was shown by a Year 11 student who compiled all her notes into a summary sheet and confidently tackled new types of problems, something she'd hesitated to do before.

Another high schooler who previously struggled with anti-differentiation worked through tricky trigonometric integrals without making errors, even handling longer equations independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has started paying close attention to tips on arithmetic and now tries out strategies unprompted, rather than waiting for help—last session, she solved all multiplication problems on her own.

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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tate Street Primary School Geelong.
