The most important thing is trust that both tutor and student should have on each other. An ease of asking questions and making mistakes is another very important thing. Its okay to make mistakes but if your student is afraid of you , they would never ask questions and will be afraid to make mistakes so the tutor will never be able to…

Always know what students need and what's their priority. This means a tutor need to show respect to students. They need to know very well about the students and are wise and knowledgable enough to give good advice and make sure students love listening to the advice. I love to solve questions. If I could make complicated things into easy ones, I'd…

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.…

My main focus is to not just explain the content in a way they really understand the principles behind it and it would not just be memorising the content on the student's part. I also believe that connecting with the student can help the teaching learning process a lot. I am a very understanding person in general. So I am most of the time capable…

The most important thing in teaching any subject is showing the big picture along with the nitty-gritty.

I believe that making every session meaningful, productive but entertaining is key to learning. A tutor should make sure that the student is well-engaged in the session but still focussing on their weaknesses and strengths. A tutor should make a personalized learning experience for every student and build a relationship of trust with the student.…

One of the most important things I have realised over helping my friends in year 12 would be to walk through the question and not actually doing the question for the student. Sure you could do the question for them and they could get full marks for an assignment or whatever, but they would not understand the fundamentals lying behind the question…

For me, the most important thing is helping students actually enjoy math and feel comfortable with the process of not knowing right away. A lot of math is about sitting with that discomfort, resisting the urge to panic, and trusting that if you think logically, you’ll find a way through—even if it’s not the “textbook†method. I want…

Make sure that you're not doing the work for them, only assisting them in their learning- For it will be them sitting the exam come the end of the year.

Encouraging and patient when explaining concepts to students.

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.
