A tutor can inspire the student to work hard and achieve success by setting up a lesson plan which steadily solidifies the foundation for learning and gradually boosts the confidence of the student. Knowledge, patience and communication skills are my strengths as a tutor. However, I am exceptionally good at understanding the needs of the students,…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand them and ensure that they feel heard.

As a University student myself, I can relate with the most of the things that school students face. In that way, I could help them as a pal rather than as a teacher. I could use my own experience from not that long ago and share with them which would help them in their study. Making a student understand by simplifying a problem is the most…

Inside PlymptonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Mavis explored simple fraction addition and subtraction using hands-on materials, and completed a reading comprehension task about anglerfish.

For Year 10, Una reviewed key Chemistry concepts including moles, periodic table structure, and atomic theory in preparation for an upcoming test, as well as tackling Maths topics like simple and compound interest and capital gains tax.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah focused on mastering biology content for exams by revising protein synthesis, DNA replication, and cell cycle checkpoints with the aid of mock tests and teacher-provided slides.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, Mavis left her booklet at home, which meant time was lost reconstructing examples instead of deepening problem-solving.

For senior biology, an unfinished report and missing in-text references interrupted the flow of assignments; "the report was unfinished. The conclusion and discussion needed to be done before submission time."

In Year 10 science, Una could answer questions but hesitated to explain terms like 'collision theory,' revealing gaps in articulating understanding.

During exam prep, skipping practice on recalling older content led to uncertainty with DNA structure and cell biology definitions—a gap that lingered into test settings, where missed details cost marks.

Recent Achievements

One Plympton tutor noticed a real shift in a Year 10 student's approach to science: after weeks of struggling with ecosystem terminology, she now confidently defines key terms like "vestigial" and "homologous structures," even using scientific language.

In a recent session with a Year 8 student, the tutor observed her volunteering to read aloud—a big change from initial hesitancy—and tackling difficult words by sounding them out instead of skipping them.

Meanwhile, another high school student began identifying and correcting her own errors during chemistry calculations, showing new independence as she worked through moles and molar mass problems.
