1. The most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is help them become more confident with themselves about their ability to achieve the grade they want in the subject they want. As a wise person once said, "if you believe, you're already half way there." As a tutor I want to be able to help my students believe in themselves so they…

Biology Tutor Urrbrae, SA
The goal of tutoring should be to empower students and thus the primary focus of tuition should be to develop confidence and independence rather than reliance. For this reason, I believe the most important component of tutoring is not working through content, but reflecting and future planning to ensure the student believes they have the skills…

The most important thing a biology tutor can do is to actually listen to their student. If they are not being receptive to feedback, and the student is not learning, then there is no progress being made. Rather, there has to be an active conversation between tutor and student that helps communicate the student's needs. I think I'm really receptive…

The most important thing for a biology tutor is to understand the weaknesses of a student, identify his/her areas of discomfort and find a suitable way for the student to digest. Being able to be a good friend of the student is also a rare quality every tutor should possess. I have 5+ years of experience tutoring students from various background.…

Tutors are expected to bolster student grades however this is not their true purpose, A tutor should help to develop students to not only achieve greater marks but also to have a greater understanding of the field they are being tutored in. This should extend beyond the tutoring time as the student develops the skills required to support…

It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

The most important thing a biology tutor can do for their student is ensure that the student has gained the ability to consolidate the information taught.

Make the student feel safe is number one and to inspire a love for learning is the goal!

1. A tutor can shape how a student thinks about a particular topic/subject. If while teaching something the tutor himself/herself is not interested then the student will be less likely to pay 100% attention 2. A tutor can empower the student to learn better and at their own pace. Just letting the student know that it is okay if you take more time…

The most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is reassure them that it is perfectly normal to not understand a topic straight away.

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are extremely happy with Estephanie.   She has managed to hit exactly the right note.   We are just looking for Isabel to understand some basic principles and Estaphie is managing this with patience and skill.    I cannot speak highly enough of Estaphanie.

I am happy with the way things have started up.  Peter has already had an improvement in his Maths test result and I am hoping that this will also be the case with his recent SAC.

Thank you for your follow up email. Yes it all seems to be going along fine with Ben. I think Cassie is finding helpful and slowly building her confidence again. She was quite a bit behind and struggling so I understand it will probably take a little while. She had a maths test last week which Ben appeared to provide a thorough preparation for her.

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.
