It' so important to go at their pace, whilst challenging them as well, because there's nothing we can't achieve if we set our minds to it. It' important to simply…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel at ease within the subject being taught. These include: making sure they do not put too much pressure on themselves if they do not understand a topic, and giving them the confidence to ask questions. Complete trust and availability on the part of the tutor is also important.…

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.
