I consider a tutor to be successful when they are able to not only make a difference to their students' grades but also in their lives. I have had many tutors during high school for different subjects and found that only those who were passionate, genuinely interested in my life outside of just my studies and were willing to go the extra mile were…

English Tutor Blackwood, SA
I consider the most important thing a tutor can for a student is to lead them on a path so that they might discover the answer themselves, and not give them the answer straight out. As a trained facilitator, I believe I would be able to identify my student's needs and work with them to fulfill those needs. I also have a proficiency in written…

The personalisation of learning is the most important thing I consider a tutor can do for their student. There is no one-size-fits-all study skills as every students have different interests and strengths. Therefore, I believe it is important to truly incorporate their interests and maximise their strengths in tutoring, for the students to build…

By helping grow and nurture this sense of confidence, a tutor can give a student the tools that they need to learn not only the subject they are working on, but also other subjects and skill or…

A good tutor should firstly ensure that the student has a solid grasp of the foundational knowledge underpinning their subject, before moving on to teach more complex concepts. This is because oftentimes a subject's more advanced concepts will draw heavily from assumed foundational knowledge. Additionally a tutor can instill confidence in a…

The number one most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make sure that the student builds a strong understanding of the content. There is a difference between knowing how to work out a problem, and why a problem is solved the way it is. I think that when you understand the why instead of just how it becomes very simple to complete…

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.
