I don't understand how to calculate speed from a distance-time graph
Good question to sort out now. Speed from a distance-time graph is the gradient of the line. Before I show you, what do you think gradient means in this context?
how steep the line is?
Exactly right. And steeper means faster. Here is how to calculate it:
📋 Step by step working
1
Choose two points
(0, 0) and (4, 80)
2
Find change in distance
80 − 0 = 80 m
3
Find change in time
4 − 0 = 4 s
4
Calculate speed
80 ÷ 4 = 20 m/s
Now try it yourself. If the line goes from (2, 10) to (6, 50), what is the speed? Start with the change in distance.

Year levels
Adapts to your child's year, not the other way around.

SubjectMate adjusts its tone and depth automatically by year level. Year 7 gets warmth and patience. Year 10 gets efficiency and respect.

"Good. You've identified the key variable. Now apply the concept and show your working."

How it works for secondary students
Built for the volume and variety of secondary school.

Secondary school means juggling six or more subjects at once. SubjectMate helps your child stay on top of all of them, not just the one they happen to have a tutor for this week.

A diagnostic that finds gaps before they turn into bigger problems.

When your child starts, SubjectMate runs a short diagnostic that maps where understanding is solid and where the gaps are. Secondary is where small misunderstandings compound into real difficulties.

The result shapes every session from day one. SubjectMate begins from exactly where your child actually is, not from scratch.

Focus areas identified: Fractions and ratios, Measurement. The tutor will prioritise these in upcoming sessions and revisit them with spaced review.

Spaced review that keeps concepts from fading.

Something learned in Term 1 and not revisited will fade by Term 3. SubjectMate's spaced review engine schedules short reviews at the right intervals to keep past topics sharp.

Your child is notified when a review is due, works through a short quiz, and scheduling adjusts based on how they go. This is how retention actually builds.

Reviews are scheduled automatically based on your child's performance. Topics they find harder are reviewed more often.

Switch subjects mid-session, the way homework actually works.

Secondary students rarely have homework in just one subject on a given night. SubjectMate handles maths, English and science all in one session with no extra booking.

Your child changes the subject selector and the tutor immediately shifts context. No re-explaining, no rebooking.

All subjects Switch anytime Complete Support plan
One session, three subjects
Mathematics Β· Year 9
Worked through two linear equation questions and got help with the negative coefficient step.
English Β· Year 9
Got feedback on an essay introduction and restructured the contention sentence.
Science Β· Year 9
Revised the electromagnetic spectrum before a class test tomorrow.
All three in one evening. No extra booking required.

Writing feedback for English and humanities, not just maths and science.

SubjectMate gives structured feedback on drafts across English, History, Geography and HSIE: what is working, one clear improvement, and a model paragraph showing what stronger looks like.

Every comment references something your child actually wrote. Specific and immediately actionable, not generic.

English Β· Year 8
What is working
Clear contention: Your opening sentence states your position directly and confidently. The reader knows exactly what you are arguing before the end of the first paragraph.
Technique identification: You name the technique and give a specific example from the text. That is the foundation of a good analytical paragraph.
What to improve
Effect on the reader: After identifying the technique, you need to explain what it makes the reader feel or think. Right now you stop at the example. Add one more sentence saying what effect it creates.
What a stronger sentence looks like
The repetition of "never" creates a sense of finality that makes the reader feel the character's loss as absolute and irreversible.

Available every school night, across every subject they are stuck on.

Secondary homework happens the night it is due, or before a test, or on Sunday when something is not clear. SubjectMate is there for all of it with no booking required.

No waiting for next week's scheduled session, no one-subject limitation, no nights without support.

Year 10 · Tuesday evening
I have a science test tomorrow on forces and I don't get Newton's third law
Good that you are onto it tonight. Newton's third law is one of those things that sounds confusing but clicks once you have a concrete example. Before I explain, have you heard the phrase "every action has an equal and opposite reaction"?
yeah but I don't get what that actually means
Completely fair. Think about pushing against a wall. You push the wall forward, the wall pushes you backward with exactly the same force. The forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, but they act on different objects. That is Newton's third law. What do you think happens to the forces when you jump off the ground?

What secondary school families are saying.

Real experiences from parents of Years 7 to 10 students.

★★★★★
Year 8 Maths: stopped falling behind

"My son would not ask for help in class and by the time we found out he was lost it was already three topics behind. SubjectMate identified fractions as the gap from the first session and spent two weeks getting it solid. His teacher noticed the difference before we even mentioned it."

TN
Tanya N.
Parent of Year 8 student, Adelaide SA
★★★★★
Year 10: multiple subjects in one place

"Year 10 is a lot. Maths, English, Science, History, all of it at once. What I love is that she can switch between subjects in the same session depending on what homework she has that night. It is like having a tutor for every subject without the cost of actually having a tutor for every subject."

FP
Fatima P.
Parent of Year 10 student, Perth WA
★★★★★
From the student

"The thing I didn't expect is how much it makes you think. I'd ask a question and instead of just answering it would ask me what I thought first. It was annoying at first but I started actually understanding stuff instead of just copying working."
