Being a second person the student can ask for help on things related to the subject, other than their school teacher. After spending time in high school, I have realised that some teachers may not be able to fully explain different maths concepts or teach it in a very overly complicated way, causing many people to become confused. So being able to…

Having a strong internal drive to learn and micro-teaching skills I think is the key role in tutoring. In my opinion, tutoring is not only teaching but also a part of learning experience that enables us to recall and applying the knowledge we have because it is a proof that we have understood what we have already learned. Micro-skill is the second…

Inside NorthgateTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Vivaan focused on letter formation and early numeracy skills, including writing letters and numbers with attention to correct shape.

In Year 9, Olivia tackled the surface area and volume of composite shapes as well as applying index laws to simplify algebraic expressions, using diagrams for clarity where helpful.

For Year 11 Math Methods, Liam worked through completing the square for quadratics and practiced graphing parabolas by finding their turning points.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student found it hard to settle and stay focused during basic multiplication tasks—one tutor noted, "we didn't really do anything; wouldn't settle down." This meant less time on practice and slower progress with core skills.

In Year 11 Maths, another student relied heavily on the calculator for mean and standard deviation questions, often missing key formula details when entering data.

For a Year 8 algebra session, skipping steps in rearranging equations led to confusion over negative signs and order of operations.

When written work was messy or disorganized, as seen in double-line notebook exercises, mistakes were harder to catch and fix.

Recent Achievements

A Northgate tutor noticed Samantha, a Year 11 student, went from hesitating with trigonometry to asking insightful questions and working through problems on her own.

Another high schooler who previously struggled with completing the square is now solving all related questions accurately and finishing tasks on time without help.

In a recent primary session, Vivaan began openly accepting guidance to improve his handwriting—a shift from earlier reluctance—and now participates confidently in social interactions.

Last week, one student completed every simultaneous equation problem independently after needing step-by-step support just two sessions ago.

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 Nundah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Virginia State School.
