Get them motivated to learn - best case scenario, even without supervision. Get them to understand that it's not their fault if they don't understand something - everyone has different strengths and noone is perfect in every subject. Get them to see how what they learn is important in 'real life', outside the classroom. The list goes on! I am…

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…

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…

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.

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.…

Promote their out of the box thinking and even channel their thoughts and ideas into effective decision making and problem solving. Also, give them a platform for free and easy communication.

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…

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,…

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…

This means patiently helping the students understand…

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.
