A tutor can build confidence and a positive approach towards studies in a student. Marks are important but what's more important is giving an exam with confidence and with a winning attitude. If this is done, then marks will follow behind. I believe that a student should cultivate these two things as they will lead to success in the future.…

Inside NetleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Ethan worked on solving logarithmic equations and applying log rules, while also revisiting methods for rearranging linear equations in both slope-intercept and general forms.

Year 11 student Olivia focused on biology revision by tackling DNA replication and gene expression through a mock exam, then practiced answering short-response questions using mind maps.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Grace concentrated on exam preparation for evolution topics, reviewing all major ideas from presentation slides and testing her understanding with a comprehensive quiz.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 biology student often left lab reports incomplete, with conclusions and discussions missing at submission—this led to marks lost for unfinished work.

For a Year 8 maths student, notes described "sheets and books were quite messy/disorganized," making it harder to follow assignment instructions or keep track of formulas during lessons.

In senior biology, another student struggled to memorize terminology before exams, which meant that in practice tests they misread multiple-choice questions or missed key details in short answers, even when the main concept was understood. The stress from these gaps showed up most on test days.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Netley noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who, after previously missing key details on mock exams, recently came in with specific questions and tackled almost all the tricky review problems on her own.

In Year 8 science, another student started using mind maps—something she hadn't tried before—to break down biology concepts, which helped her finish her practical assignment without needing step-by-step help.

Meanwhile, a primary school student who used to wait for hints began catching her own mistakes during maths tasks and could now explain how she'd fix them out loud.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Justin has been such an asset to Connor, honestly, his confidence and understanding has improved with Justin's assistance. We are so greatful to yourselves and Justin for all the work and patience over the past couple of weeks.

Also, I would like to say that the tutor provided, Ray, was outstanding. A thorough gentleman, always professional, diligent, interested and concerned. Just a good decent young man on every front. I certainly believe that Ray deserves some acknowledgement and recognition, and that he set a standard in your organisation that would be hard to better, he is a great testament of quality that any organisation tries to deliver. We were always pleased to have him in our home and wish him all the very best in his future.

I also wanted to say Matthew has been absolutely fantastic, he has a great manner and is very patient.  Anja's maths has definitely improved. i suspect we will need a tutor again in the second half of next year hopefully Matthew is available then.  I will certainly recommend your service to others.   I also wanted to say thank you for all the fabulous resources you offer.

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 Hilton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Plympton Primary School.
