The most important things a tutor can do for a student is build confidence in the student. I've encountered a few students in the Year 5 STEM and Maths program at my school who were quiet and I began to realise that they didn't believe that they could learn STEM or improve their math skills because they thought they were 'dumb'. I quickly turned…

Understand the problem from their perspective and guide them from their stepping stone to the point where they are able to confidently solve problems themselves with little assistance but also be a source for which the students can ask any questions no matter the level of difficulty or understanding. I think because I’ve been on the other side…

The most important thing is to communicate on a level that is with the students so they can understand the topics you are teaching, so they still feel connected and engaged in learning. In addition, also having a variety of strategies as one size does not fit all so it is about finding the best fit for each student. My strength is to provide…

Celebrate the wins and encourage and support them through the trickier parts so that we can get more wins and celebrate more so they feel like winners all the time! One of my strengths would have to be that I often think differently to most where I see problems in a different light. This allows me to provide students with a different way of…

Inside PlumptonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zoe focused on foundational algebra skills, including basic equations and substitution, using worksheets for practice.

In Year 10, Lily worked through matrices as part of her early start in Data, alongside reviewing key topics for General Mathematics.

For Year 12, Chatwell's session included an overview of Business Management and English materials while also clarifying specific questions from the General Maths curriculum to set goals for the year ahead.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on algebraic techniques often skipped showing full steps, leading to repeated sign errors—"she'd often confuse (x, y) for (y, x)," noted her tutor.

In VCE English, one student struggled with essay writing under timed conditions; her reluctance to complete practice essays meant real exam pacing remained untested.

For a Year 6 maths topic, hesitation in answering multiplication and division questions slowed progress even when she knew the basics.

Homework was occasionally incomplete in both primary and senior levels—one missed exercise left a gap that resurfaced during review sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Plumpton noticed a Year 12 student who, after previously struggling to organise her thoughts, began pinpointing her weaknesses in paragraph structure and clearly asked for targeted help.

In Year 10 maths, one student had been hesitant with algebra but recently tackled worded questions independently on the Cartesian plane and managed points placement with only light prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who once needed frequent guidance with fractions now answers problems without hesitation—last session she solved all equations placed in front of her unaided.

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 Caroline Springs Library & Learning Hub—or at your child's school (with permission), like Yarrabing Secondary College.
