I think a tutor can really make students think and make them understand concepts rather than just memorising theory. We can also build a trust and make them more confident in themselves. It is a tutor’s job to make the students think and inculcate the habit of consistently. I feel like i can understand people well. I am a very approachable…

Get them motivated to learn - best case scenario, even without supervision. Get them to understand that it's not their fault if they don't understand something - everyone has different strengths and noone is perfect in every subject. Get them to see how what they learn is important in 'real life', outside the classroom. The list goes on! I am…

Being able to adapt to a student's needs. Not everyone can grasp concepts when they are explained the first time so it's important to be flexible and apply different learning styles. Another thing a tutor can do is to engage with the parents and provide feedback on the student's performance. This also allows one to gather feedback from the parents…

In a lot of cases, students have to get a tutor because they are struggling in school. So, from the outset, students may already be feeling some frustration about their classes. On top of that they have to do extra tutoring lessons, which I imagine, they are not exactly looking forward to. I think the best thing a tutor can do is to relieve this…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to provide academic guidance and build a connection with the student so that the student can trust the tutor and share his problems with them. Consistence is the key to tutoring as you need to all be on your toes and be ready for all sorts of queries. In my opinion, when all these…

Make sure that the student is comfortable to express their exact approach and unknowns on a topic. The more time you can spend on the exact areas of struggle the greater the improvement. The ability to see knowledge from a deeper level and be able to present it from many angles. This has been appreciated by the students I tutored in high school.…

Inside NorthbridgeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Sophie worked through volume and surface area of 3D shapes as well as an introduction to Pythagoras' theorem, using visual diagrams to support understanding.

For Year 10, Marcus focused on simplifying algebraic fractions and solving simultaneous equations with step-by-step practice from his homework set.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily revised exponential growth and decay alongside compound interest problems, applying formulas in real-world contexts for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student's session was cut short as time only allowed for homework completion, leaving no space to review missed concepts—"need to prepare altogether next time so lesson can be concise."

In Year 9 maths, one student forgot last week's trigonometry homework, limiting progress on bearings questions.

A Year 5 learner relied heavily on mental sums for fractions and percentages; this led to skipped working steps and confusion when problems became longer.

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student struggled to recall rules for surds and indices without regular revision outside tutoring hours, making exam prep more stressful than needed.

Recent Achievements

One Northbridge tutor noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now actively seeks clarification on statistics questions and double-checks his working without prompting.

In a recent high school session, another student who'd struggled with surds and indices was able to recall the rules independently and correctly apply them in several practice problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student—who used to skip showing her full workings—now carefully writes out every step when tackling perimeter and area questions, even checking her calculations before moving on.

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 City of Perth Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St George's Anglican Grammar School.
