Science Tutor Melton South, VIC
I help a child learn and infer the topics being taught at school by using a step wise approach which is aligned with their learning style. Along with this, I demonstrate the methodology rather than simply revealing the answer for how different texts should be written and understood or how mathematical questions are solved. I ensure that all…

The most prominent thing is to work according to the level of child. For example, some students love to study through animations and some by real world examples and also some by doing practicals or activities. Hence; its the duty of a tutor to find the way of teaching that interacts a student and make it interesting for a child to explore that…

I think that the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to provide encouragement and meaningful feedback to students and parents on the student's achievement progress and what they can do to further extend themselves and achieve more. The most important aspect of tutoring and teaching in general is that you can see a student's…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to understand their needs and any difficulties they are facing along their academic journey and come up with various solutions rather than just teaching. Also, I believe customised tutoring sessions are particularly helpful in education as students learn differently. Thus,…

A tutor should be able to help the student in understanding the information to the best level possible which will increase the confidence in the student especially when doing a subject they do not enjoy or struggle in. Since I just recently completed Year 12 I believe I can understand the frustration and stress a student can feel while studying.…

The most important thing that a tutor could do for a student would be to gage what level they are at, and give them questions according to that, because if someone was aiming to get above 50% on a test for example, it would be important to spend more time on the basics, than the questions that only 5-10% of the cohort could answer. My strengths…

One of the most important things a teacher can do for their student is to listen. Not to listen to think of the next response but to listen to understand.

Matthew has been great - he is prompt, communicates well if times/dates for tutoring have needed to be changed, easily gets along and is able to relate with Tahlia, who has benefitted greatly from his help.

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jaiden likes Justin as he explains how to work out the Maths in different ways and Jaiden understands this

Washim was absolutely fantastic with our daughter Josephine! He was very patient and knowledgeable. Josephine went from a C student in Semester 1 to an A student in Semester 2 last year. The only variable that changed was tutoring with Washim during that period of time.

We had our first lesson with Jacob tonight and I wanted to let you know that we were highly impressed with him. Jacob seems to be a great fit for my daughter, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I wanted to pass this feedback on and let you know that we are very happy with Jacob.

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.
