Software Dev Tutor Black Forest, SA
For me the most important thing a tutor can do is to guide the student in such a way that at the end of it, the student is able to lead by himself in the direction he was originally intended to go. It is similar to the lines of giving a man a fish to teaching him to fish. The tutor has to ignite the spark of interest in the student so that the…

Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is not to flaunt their own brainpower like a flashy superhero cape. Instead, it’s about helping students discover their own hidden superpowers and showing them how to wield these talents for their own success. Think of it like being a treasure map that leads them to their own buried gems—helping them…

I can only be satisfied and feel peaceful once I…

As a tutor I would help the student to bring out his or hers ideas through learning. Those ideas can make a huge difference in the society. Additionally, I would focus on students who are very weak in a particular subject and provides tips to improvise. I have good knowledge in Mathematics and I can explain the concepts using real life examples.…

Being a tutor, one can do a lot of things for a student apart from teaching. A tutor has the responsibility of mentoring the students in career and general life. The tutor should be empathetic and able to understand the student to provide relevant support. I am a high achiever myself. Being a uni student, I can relate to the students' problems in…

I consider the two most important things for a tutor to do are to first inspire confidence in the student and identify the area of difficulty as precisely as possible. Students are generally not equipped to identify the precise area of their difficulty as they don't have the knowledge to fully place it in the context of the subject. By…

Important things a tutor can do for a student can be as subtle as providing the basic habits of Learning and self progression for the student. Many younger students struggle with this and tutoring can only go so far for them. Enforcing self-learning and the confidence to learn sometimes can be more beneficial than the topics covered.

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.
