Chemistry Tutoringfor Years 9 to 12

Private 1-on-1 chemistry tutoring with Tutero starts at A$65 an hour. The rate is the same for a Year 9 student learning atomic structure as for a Year 12 student preparing for the VCE, HSC or QCE Chemistry exam. There are no contracts and no sign-up fee, and you pay after each lesson.

The price includes matching with a chemistry tutor, a dedicated account manager and a written report after every lesson in the parent app.

In Years 9 and 10, chemistry is taught as the chemical sciences strand of the Australian Curriculum: atoms and the periodic table, bonding, chemical equations and reaction types. Tutoring here fixes the foundations senior chemistry depends on.

In Years 11 and 12 tutors follow the student's own course: VCE Chemistry Units 1 to 4, HSC Chemistry Modules 1 to 8, QCE, WACE and SACE Chemistry, TASC Chemistry and IB Chemistry SL and HL. That covers stoichiometry, equilibrium, acids and bases, redox and electrochemistry, organic chemistry, analytical techniques and practical reports.

For chemistry, a live online lesson works well because most of the difficulty is on paper: equations to balance, calculations to set out, structures to draw. The tutor and student work on the same interactive whiteboard in real time, so the tutor sees every step of a mole calculation and can correct it as it happens.

Online also widens the choice. Jayne's daughter Mia, on a farm in northwest Tasmania, had no chemistry tutor nearby and went on to win an award in the subject with a Tutero tutor.

After a short online quiz, an account manager calls to ask about the student's year level, state course, current chemistry results and upcoming assessments. They then pick a tutor with strong results in that course, chosen from the top 2% of tutor applicants, who also suits the student's personality.

You pay after each lesson, there are no contracts, and you can stop any time.

Yes. Tutors plan revision around the student's exam: past papers for the VCE, HSC, QCE or WACE Chemistry exam, SACE or TASC exam questions, or IB Papers 1 and 2. They work on data analysis questions, extended responses and the calculations that cost marks, and show the student how examiners award each step.

Tutors also help with the school-based assessment that makes up much of the final result: VCE SACs, QCE data tests and student experiments, HSC depth studies, SACE investigation folios and the IB internal assessment.

Tutero's chemistry tutors are Australian university students and graduates who did well in senior chemistry themselves, along with qualified teachers. They come from the top 2% of people who apply to tutor with Tutero, and every tutor completes training and coaching before their first lesson.

Students keep the same chemistry tutor from week to week. Each tutor's profile on the Our Tutors page lists the subjects they teach, their university and their own results.

Yes, anywhere in Australia with an internet connection. Emma, a boarder at Canberra Grammar whose family lives in Cootamundra, did her HSC chemistry tutoring online around boarding and travel. Lessons run on weekdays, evenings and weekends.

There are pages for chemistry tutoring in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Hobart, and for VCE, HSC, QCE, WACE, SACE and TCE Chemistry.

Choose the student's year level at the top of this page and answer a few questions about their chemistry course. An account manager will call to understand what they need, then match them with a chemistry tutor for their course and goals.
