A tutoring pathway that starts with a structured diagnosis.
Buan Tutoring uses a simple 3-step funnel for senior students: first we find the real problem, then we build a 5-session plan around it, then students who need continued structure move into small-group long-term tutoring.
the funnel
Three steps. No mystery. No filler.
The goal is not to trap families into endless tutoring. The goal is to work out what the student needs, solve the urgent gaps first, then continue only when the structure is actually useful.
Action Plan
Five sessions to rebuild structure and momentum.
Long-term
Small-group support once the student has direction.

Step one
Diagnostic consultation
This is the low-pressure starting point. We look at the student's subject, confidence, recent work and assessment pressure, then identify whether they need urgent repair, exam strategy, assignment guidance or consistent weekly structure.
What happens
- Quick student and parent conversation
- Short diagnostic task where useful
- Review of subject concerns and current marks
- Recommendation for the next step
Deliverables
- Clear diagnosis of the main issue
- Suggested tutoring pathway
- Priority topics to fix first
- No obligation to continue
Step two
The Action Plan
The Action Plan is a 5-session intervention. It is built for students who know something is wrong but cannot yet explain exactly what. We turn the problem into a sequence: diagnose, rebuild, practice, correct, then plan what happens next.
$350 AUD
5 sessions upfront. Built to create visible direction before committing long-term.

Step three
Long-term small-group tutoring
Long-term tutoring is for students who benefit from weekly structure, consistent feedback and strong classmates around them. Groups are kept small so students can ask questions, attempt harder work and actually be corrected.
What students get
- Small groups, usually up to 3 students
- Self-authored worksheets and exam-style tasks
- QCAA dot-point targeting
- Regular feedback on recurring mistakes
How scheduling works
- Students choose sessions around school pressure
- Assessment weeks are treated differently from normal weeks
- Older students are treated like adults
- Parents stay informed without micromanaging every minute
scheduling philosophy
Students are treated like people. Not money.
Senior students are old enough to learn ownership. So the system is structured, but not infantilising. Students are expected to communicate what they need, what assessment is coming up and where they are stuck. That is part of the tutoring.
Adult communication
Students are encouraged to explain what they do and do not understand. Silence is not treated as success.
Assessment-aware scheduling
Exam blocks, drafts and assignments change priorities. The tutoring plan adjusts around that pressure.
Parent visibility
Parents get clarity without needing to hover over every lesson like a suspicious project manager.
subjects
Built around senior QCAA pressure.
The strongest fit is Year 11 and Year 12 students in content-heavy subjects where gaps compound quickly.
Methods
Algebra, functions, calculus, probability, statistics and assessment strategy.
Specialist
Proof, vectors, complex numbers, calculus, mechanics and exam reasoning.
Physics
Forces, motion, energy, fields, waves, electricity and problem solving.
Chemistry
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, acids and bases, organic chemistry and exam response structure.
Design / Technology
Design process, documentation, CAD thinking and assessment communication.
English support
Planning, criteria interpretation, essay structure and targeted feedback where appropriate.
next step
Start with the diagnostic. Then choose the right level of support.
I aim to first give clarity. After that, the Action Plan or long-term tutoring only makes sense if it fits the student.
