Respect children's intelligence. They lack knowledge not intelligence. Fill in the gaps in their knowledge so that they can succeed and don't waste their time with what they already know. I show them how to do the work not do it for them. Make them feel like they accomplished something so that they have the will and confidence to succeed in the…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do are to build confidence, encourage curiosity, and create a supportive environment. A good tutor helps students think independently, not just find the right answers. Through my mentoring experience, I've learned the value of patience and adaptability in meeting different learning needs, while my…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to encourage their students and help to build their confidence. When students are unable to understand what is being taught in class, it can be very frustrating and demoralising. Hence, i believe it is a tutor’s job to assist students. By improving their problem solving skills and constantly…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is help the student truly understand the material and build confidence. When a student feels comfortable making mistakes and asking questions, real learning happens. Encouraging confidence is just as important as teaching the content. My strengths are patience, clarity, adaptability, and the ability…

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…

As a tutor, I believe it is important to show students that they are in a space of learning and not judgement. It is important to show students that they are free to ask questions, no matter how simple it may seem. Additionally, it is also important for tutors to make the environment of learning comfortable, so that students don’t dread coming…

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.
