Build confidence. Provide both knowledge and exam technique. I can adapt from student to student to find communication techniques and explanations that work for the individual. I can build a rapport with students allowing them to trust the techniques I provide and put them into practice. I can provide a more light-hearted approach to the tutoring,…

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 for a student is to teach the concepts so well that the student don't have to revisit the concept after the class.

I believe that a teacher is a guide who teaches the student what direction to look in. The student is the one who chooses what to look at. A tutor should not simply hand out solutions to a problem that the student faces trouble with. They should guide the student to think in a certain way that will not only help them come up with the solution…

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.…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is make the student feel safe and supported. When a student knows they won’t be judged for making mistakes, they’re more likely to ask questions and actually learn. A good tutor also helps build the student’s confidence not just in the subject, but in themselves. It’s also important to…

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…

I consider the best thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the student to understand the concept themself and thus making them much more self-reliant.

Encouragement. Encouraging my students while building their confidence is the most important thing that I will do for my students.

A tutor must plan and teach lessons to his student in such a way that things become easier for him. Giving live examples to students makes him things understand better as they can relate to it easily and its a child psychology that he/she learns those things easily to which he/she can relate.

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.
