The most important things that a tutor must do for students is to always demonstrate patience and love towards them. It might take time for them to understand the lesson so you have to bear with them. My strengths as a tutor is that whenever I revisit lessons that I learned in the past, I am passionate to learn/relearn about them and I am also…

I have rarely ever used the same method of explaining a concept/theory on multiple students.

The most important thing a tutor can do for their students is to foster a love for learning.

By nurturing this love for learning, tutors empower their students to become self-motivated, independent…

A tutor can make use of the two kinds of experience he/she has.

Secondly his experience as a tutor means a patient engagement with his student, where in the…

Most important point of being a tutor isn't the ability of doing the question yourself, or understanding it yourself, as a tutor this is already expected, so conveying the concept to the student in such a way that they are able to convey it along to someone else is one of the fundamental aspects of tutoring. Helping students with topics they…

Support. Providing a great amount of support and motivation is crucial for a student’s education path. Without this, a lack of drive would occur which is detrimental to their learning, ultimately affecting their peers around them which acts like the domino effect.

Explain. If a tutor can explain a concept in a way a student can understand and then is able to remember it and be able to apply it, the tutor has succeeded in his role. Also being able to listen to students, as a tutor should be able to find small mistakes and correct them as questions require perfection to some degree to achieve maximum marks.…

Inside PlumptonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Georgia focused on HSC-style trigonometry questions and revising her recent exam paper, targeting past mistakes.

For Year 11, Zara worked through differentiation using first principles as well as algebraic equations from her school maths assignment.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Daniel practised probability questions from previous HSC papers and explored applications of trigonometry in bearings problems, often using real-world scenarios to reinforce concepts.

Recent Challenges

Several process-related challenges were observed across different year levels.

In Year 9, one student left homework incomplete for over two weeks, causing her to forget recently taught algebra skills; as the tutor noted, "this was shown through the lesson today."

A Year 11 student's exam performance suffered due to poor time management—he rushed only near the end, missing easy marks earlier.

In Year 7 mathematics, written work often lacked clear layout and full working out, especially on multi-mark problems, making it hard to spot where understanding broke down.

When assignments or practice were delayed or skipped, progress slowed and confidence dipped.

Recent Achievements

A Plumpton tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student, Ryan, who used to leave tricky HSC-style questions blank, now attempts every problem and explains his reasoning out loud—even when unsure.

In Year 9 maths, Ali has started tackling differentiation proofs with less hesitation, remembering key identities without needing reminders like before.

Meanwhile, Shay in Year 5 managed the extension section of her homework with minimal help after previously struggling to stay focused; she finished all tasks without distraction and got nearly every answer right on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with the tutoring services we are receiving through your company and my daughters tutor, Alfred. Alfred has been very flexible in fitting in with Jayda's schedule and learning needs and we foresee a lengthy tutoring relationship.

Dania our tutor is a blessing! My daughter is able to open up to Dania and has managed to engage conversations/ relationship/ trust and so just after a few lessons she's now able to have a better understanding of maths concepts where as before she was really struggling to comprehend it. Although my daughter still has much more to learn I'm confident that Dania will be able to take her to the next level.

We had our 1st session tonight with David and it went really well. My son connected with him immediately even though he was nervous about tutoring and didn't really want to do it prior to tonight. After he had his session with David he said it was fun! I was pleasantly surprised to hear him say that and he asked that David come back next week instead of waiting a fortnight! We are very happy so far.

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 Mt Druitt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Plumpton Public School.
