Being a tutor, the most important thing I can do is to be there for them. A tutor is not only some job that we do and get paid for but must go above and beyond to make a difference in their life. I have an engineering background and solid foundations, I love all things science but most of all, mathematics and…

A tutor should take their time with a student and make sure the student understands before moving on. I believe the purpose of tutoring should be to provide learning strategies that are specific to the individual in contrast with teaching in a classroom (at the pace of the class). A tutor should provide multiple strategies for learning. For…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, explain concepts in a way that makes sense to them, and create a safe space where they feel comfortable to ask questions and make mistakes. It’s also important to connect learning to real-life examples so students see the value of what they’re…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is make the student feel safe to be wrong. So many students disengage from learning because they're afraid of making mistakes or looking unintelligent. Once that fear is removed, real learning can happen. Beyond that, I think a tutor should personalise every session understanding where the student is…

In my opinion, it's most important to help students to understand basic concepts and theories when tutoring them. With these knowledge, students will have confidence to overcome problems and hardness in Maths by themselves. For the past two years, I have tutored several students in Physics and Maths, especially Math Methods year 11 and 12.…

A student will need a tutor because he/she couldn't understand what was being taught in class. The best thing for a tutor to do is focus on the parts that the student failed to understand and strengthen their understanding in those areas.

One of the most important things I have realised over helping my friends in year 12 would be to walk through the question and not actually doing the question for the student.

Make sure that you're not doing the work for them, only assisting them in their learning- For it will be them sitting the exam come the end of the year.

Local Reviews

Fantastic organisation, extremely easy to get started. Exceptional tutoring
Renae Bonelli, Northgate

Inside NorthgateTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Rhea worked on linear equations with unknowns on both sides and practiced finding variable values by substitution.

In Year 9, Ethan focused on trigonometry—solving for angles using sine, cosine, and tangent—and also revised coordinate geometry concepts like midpoints and plotting straight lines.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Isabelle tackled advanced differentiation skills including exponential and logarithmic derivatives, along with consolidating her understanding of the chain rule using textbook problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student needed to "work backwards from final concentrations" in ICE tables but struggled with recalling definitions and key steps, causing hesitation mid-task.

For Year 9 algebra, skipping careful simplification—especially when opening brackets—led to sign errors ("she tends to overlook…changing of the equation sign once the brackets have been extended").

In Year 7 coordinate geometry, forming equations from worded problems was a sticking point; as noted, confusion with signs persisted even after initial guidance.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner often left fraction subtraction unfinished or missed checking double negatives, which meant answers were sometimes off by several marks.

Recent Achievements

A Northgate tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated with logarithmic derivatives now confidently works through challenging problems independently, after struggling to apply the rules without guidance.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who was often unsure about expanding brackets managed to solve increasingly complex questions by herself near the end of their session, no longer making sign errors that used to slow her down.

In Year 5, one student who would guess at converting fractions is now asking clarifying questions and accurately placing values on number lines before moving forward with her calculations.

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 Greenacres Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cedar College.
