'without schooling' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'turned out badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in the wrong order).
'turned'+'out'='turnedout'
'turnedout' is an anagram of 'UNTUTORED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for untutored that I've seen before include "lacking education" , "without formal education" , "Being ignorant" , "lacking refinement" , "Lacking formal teaching" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
