The first and foremost thing a tutor should do is to create interest in the subject that is being taught. The reason is simple, when the student is interested in learning the subject, a teacher's job is a cakewalk. A teacher should make the student believe that subjects like maths are pretty easy and interesting to learn. This can be done by…

A tutor should create a safe space for a student so that he/she can reach out whenever needed. Through this, a student will feel more comfortable in his/her studies and will acquire more confidence since they will have the opportunity to be more inquisitive. They will be more eager to learn and explore. My biggest strength as a tutor is patience.…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them want to study a topic, to present a topic in a certain way that makes the student more enthusiastic to learn. Although understanding a subject is extremely important, I believe the students' willingness to learn is equally important as trying to teach a student to…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is pose as their mentor than just a teacher. By doing this, a student will feel safe, and empowered; this in turn will make them learn better. Moreover, it is important for a tutor to build their confidence. It is essential to build on the weak areas of a student. Additionally, a…

Communication is very important, as it is vital that the student is able to convey any questions, misunderstandings or opinions to the tutor for a tailored tutoring experience to occur. It is also at the same time that the tutor needs to be precise and straightforward with their explanation on different concepts. I think I generally build a…

Inside NetherbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Matilda focused on logarithms in maths and explored functional groups and naming conventions within organic and biological chemistry, while also reviewing for an upcoming further maths test.

Year 12 Molly tackled equilibrium concepts from Chemistry Topic 2.2 and completed practice questions for her approaching chemistry assessment.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student reviewed price ceilings and floors in Economics, examining who benefits under different market interventions using real-world examples from current assignments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Chemistry, one student had not completed much of her assignment independently between lessons, which meant valuable session time was spent revisiting basics instead of deepening understanding. As a tutor noted, "she should be working on this in class and in her own time as one hour a week is not sufficient to achieve at a high level."

Meanwhile, in Year 10 Science, bringing required materials (like the assignment task sheet) to lessons was sometimes overlooked—this slowed progress when key details were missing.

In a Year 4 Maths lesson, confusion over place value led to repeated mistakes with rounding and decimals.

Recent Achievements

One Netherby tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after struggling to plan essays, now arrives with clear outlines and drafts—she even referenced articles on her own last week.

In chemistry, another high schooler began bringing a list of specific test topics to revise and actively asked clarification questions instead of waiting for the tutor's lead.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, Sarah has started solving large multiplication problems more independently; last session she worked through them with much less prompting than before and completed all 100 multiplication questions in five minutes, missing only eight.

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 Fullarton Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mercedes College.
