I believe that it is important for tutors to be passionate about teaching. This way, it is easier for the student to gain interest in the subject, which ultimately leads to better performance from the student as they are more motivated to study and learn. I also think that it is important for tutors to create a comfortable learning environment for…

A tutor should be strict about discipline but at the same time friendly and lenient understanding students problem. He should be available on phone all the time for his students during the exam period. Also, the tutor has to get some real-life problems and repeat the same basic concepts repeatedly so that the student memorises it for a long time.…

The important thing is to develop the student's ability to independently study. It is like that proverb 'Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.

However, the ability to…

Tutors should be able to understand that all students are on different academic levels and learn at different paces, with different styles, and hence empathise with where each individual student is at in the subject and provide empathy and support for them. To do this, tutors must build a safe and comfortable learning environment where the student…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Even though Brendan only has Gennady for a short time, but I can see a great improvement in his maths, also he seem to be more confident.  The feedback I got from Brendan is Gennady was very easy to understand, he tend to explain thing in a simple way, we tried many tutors before and wasted so much of his time.  I definitely recommend him for VCE specialist maths.

I would like to thank you for providing a wonderful service to us.  We were recommended to you by a friend of my daughters and this being the first time we had sought a tutor, we weren't really sure what to do or how to go about it.  You made the whole process simple and easy for us.  Even though the initial tutor didn't relate to my daughter, there was no problem with us changing to another tutor.  This wonderful young woman was just the right person for my daughter.  They both understood each other and my daughter approached her year 12 maths exam with so much more certainty and knowledge.  We won't know for a while yet, the result of the exam but my daughter feels very confident about it.

WE are very happy with Jades work with Tanisha, Tanisha is very comfortable with Jade.  Tanisha has improved with her maths so far thanks to Jades help.

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 Marion Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Plympton Primary School.
