Definitely helping them to improve their academics but also just being there to help them emotionally when they are stressed from not understanding the content they are learning or just having troubles in general. Students who can trust that their tutor understands them and will work to bring out the best of their abilities tend to have a more…

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.…

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 strongly believe that two things are the most important in a tutor: perspective and engagement. Perspective due to how different minds work at understanding, and how no approach fits all students. Engagement to engage their problem solving skills, to ensure that the key is understanding and refrain from relying on memory. As I find the…

I think a tutor can really make students think and make them understand concepts rather than just memorising theory. We can also build a trust and make them more confident in themselves. It is a tutor’s job to make the students think and inculcate the habit of consistently. I feel like i can understand people well. I am a very approachable…

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.

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…

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. The tutor can help the student understand not only the concepts but also why its significant and their practical application so that they have a sense of why they are learning these. I can…

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…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Katie and her style. She is giving Blythe confidence and this week Blythe has completed her homework with much less assistance!

Sessions are going really well. Hasnat and Charlotte are building a good rapport. She is very happy with the sessions, and they are communicating well. So all good!

Lille has taken well to tutoring so far and Jackie is a great match for Lille so we are happy.

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.
