• Year 11
  • History

Senior History turns on one distinction: useful is not reliable.

Year 11 is where students discover that a wildly biased source can be the most useful one in the folder. Getting that distinction straight early is worth more than another month of content notes.

The fact that you are looking means you are already doing the right thing.

Your child picks their state at signup, and every explanation follows their own board: NESA, VCAA, QCAA, SCSA, SACE, TASC, BSSS or TDT.

How it works

It separates useful from reliable.

This is a real Year 11 moment. The distinction takes one sentence to state and a term to internalise, so SubjectMate makes the student apply it rather than hear it.

  • Hints get more concrete if they stay stuck
  • Never hands over the answer

my teacher keeps writing "evaluate, dont describe" on my source answers
That comment means you are telling them what the source says. Evaluation asks two different questions: how much do you trust it, and what is it good for? Pick your source and answer just the first one for me.
SubjectMate always asks your child to think first before explaining. This is what builds real understanding rather than just completed homework.
Why parents choose it

The habits Year 12 History assumes you already have.

They reason it out themselves

Built by an Australian teacher to guide rather than hand over answers, because Year 11 History rewards understanding over memorising.

There at 8pm on a Tuesday

Help with the historical investigation the night it is set, and revision before assessments. SubjectMate never cancels and is never fully booked.

Follows their actual syllabus

Your child selects their state at signup and every explanation matches the Modern History course their own school is teaching this term.

The average private tutor in Australia charges $80 to $120 per hour. SubjectMate is $39 a month, with no limit on sessions and no booking required.

Parent reviews

What senior families tell us.

Year 11 and 12

“Mei started actually working through things because SubjectMate would guide her rather than just tell her the answer. By Term 4 she was sitting down to study without being asked.”

Lin C.Cairns QLD
Year 10 Multi-subject

“Year 10 is a lot. What I love is that she can switch between subjects in the same session. It is like having a tutor for every subject without the cost of actually having a tutor for every subject.”

Common questions

Questions about Year 11 History tutoring.

Is SubjectMate aligned to the Year 11 History syllabus?

Yes. Your child selects their state at signup and SubjectMate aligns the case studies and source skills to the Modern History course for that state and year.

Can it help with the historical investigation?

Yes, without doing it. SubjectMate asks about the research question, the range of sources and the argument, so the investigation stays your child’s own work.

Does SubjectMate provide writing feedback on history essays?

Not in the way it does for English. The dedicated writing feedback tool is built for English texts. For History, SubjectMate works through the argument and the use of sources question by question instead, which is what the source based questions actually reward.

How much does Year 11 History tutoring with SubjectMate cost?

Plans start at $39 a month, less than a single hour with most private tutors, with a 7 day free trial.

Give your child a stronger start in Year 11 History.
