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…

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…

Firstly a tutor must be able to provide clear and concise explanations of concepts and have a solid understanding of the subject matter. Secondly, tutors need to be able to use a personalized approach of teaching for different students to better help match and pace the student's learning style, speed, strengths and weaknesses e.g. Effective…

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.

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…

Encouragement. Encouraging my students while building their confidence is the most important thing that I will do for my students. I would not want a single moment to pass for my students thinking that they lack in any way. A few hard problems to solve at school are not enough to discourage them. My greatest strength when it comes to tutoring is I…

Listen and teach. I think it is so important for students to be listened to and helped accordingly. They must be given the space to work through problems they are facing themselves so that they can believe in their own abilities and increase their own self-efficacy. It is vital that the student can not only regurgitate an answer or process but…

Impact The impact that a tutor can have on a student should not be understated. You could be the reason a student develops a greater sense of purpose or self-esteem at school.

Tutors fill a different role than teachers and parents, and that puts them in a unique position to support students. Personal relationships are foundational to student success - the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, essential ingredients for students to learn well.

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.
