Best Tutoring Services in Sydney
Merely a decade ago, science was all about memorisation and regurgitation. This made it easy to teach as teachers had to simply provide materials which the students could then take home and commit to memory.
The Board of Studies recognised this as a problem as it was breeding a group of High School graduates with little understanding of the scientific concepts being taught, therefore later posing problems in university and beyond. However, as the Chemistry syllabus changes, the way we teach our students must also change in a similar manner.
Our lessons are constructed strictly according to the syllabus. We make sure every single dot point is covered in the lessons and understood by students and how it fits into the bigger picture. This helps create a flow and enables students to better understand the content.
Did you know that Chalkwall also offers Year 11 & 12 Maths, Physics and Biology classes? We also offer UMAT classes. Enquire about our other programs today.
With the Chalkwall Dream Team Program you will learn content up to two years ahead of your current year grade.

Chemistry lessons are designed in a way that appeals to students and is achieved through an interactive lesson format including many practice questions and short quizzes,thus allowing students to shift from ‘reproducing’ to ‘understanding’. The small group environment allows students to work as a team and push each other through friendly competition to maximise their potential for success.
One of the many focuses of the new Chemistry syllabus is “nature and practice.” For the parts of the syllabus that require students to carry out a practical experiment, we always discuss the theory behind the practical and highlight any important issues that are relevant as the students should have already done the practical at school. This includes talking about the reasons why it can go wrong, how to improve it, specific calculations involved, etc. We also try our best to demonstrate the practical where appropriate and possible.
Want extra help with an assignment, homework or for an upcoming exam? Or need further explanation from a concept you learnt at school? Our Geniuses in the the Study Hive will give you all the extra support you need. They’re just a booking away – and their help is free for all Chalkwall’s Year 11& 12 students.
Our students are not the only ones we assess to measure growth. We believe that only great teachers can build great students. This is why we ensure that all our Educators have exceptional content knowledge, great delivery techniques and a positive attitude. In addition, our regular assessment of the performance of our teachers help us maintain our top quality educational programs.
Our Chemistry educators not only impart deep content knowledge to their students, they also have the expertise to show you how to respond to questions at a Band 6 level. They have a broad skill set and a wide range of experience from HSC markers and textbook authors to heads of departments and subject experts. To help our students achieve the best, they need to be trained by the best.
Mother, Bernadeta Tadi, tells the story of how Chalkwall opened the door for her two children to grow academically, now seeing the potential Batrisiya and Mierco have to succeed in their future.
Homework is distributed weekly ensuring students practice the skills learnt in class.Students mark their own homework and see exactly where they went wrong. Students are then given an opportunity to ask for help in the next lesson where their educator will go through problems in class.
Informal assessments are carried out during class where teachers observe students’ level of progress through class work and give written and verbal feedback. Students are also tested at the end of each module.
Students are given formal Half Yearly, Yearly and Trial exams and feedback is provided to the student. These results are used to determine areas of need and become a focal point for further learning.
Our Chemistry workbooks are the best we’ve ever created that specifically target the learning process. They include comprehensive Chemistry content while still being presented in an easily understandable manner.
The workbooks also include a wide variety of dot point by dot point questions that you can practice on to master your content knowledge and prepare you for exams.
Strategies and worked answers have been also been added to provide students with the tools that are needed to approach each question.
Student attendance, homework completion and understanding of content taught is recorded on a weekly basis for tracking purposes
