Would you please proofread the following?

There's one last little bit to add and that is the class destructor (which/that) is called as the very last call in the class's lifecycle, and then it cleans up the instance of the class.

Source: a teacher

I think that word (added by me) inside the parentheses is missing.

You can use "which" if you remove the comma and the word "it".

Are you collaborating with the teacher? If not, it may not be accurate to call these exercises "proofreading".
 
Who is this teacher you keep citing as your source?

No. I am not collaborating. There are some lectures of a course and there are corresponding subtitles to the lectures! Because he speaks too fast and I am not native, I have to check subtitles which are vague sometimes!

So, do you think the original sentence is OK?
Here is the original sentence:

You kept asking to mention the source and I have been following the rule since then and you are still complaining and not satisfied!!! I don't know what to do!

It's very simple. "A teacher" doesn't suffice. Is it your English teacher, with whom you are taking classes? Is that teacher a native English speaker? Is it a teacher who wrote some sort of guide to English, or a text book or similar? If so, you need to give us the title and author. Saying "a teacher" is about as much use as saying "someone".

Right – at last we know the context of the questions you are asking.

Henceforth, please cite your source as "The tutor of the following course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/cs-fu...ass-destructor

We now know that this is a transcription of spoken English. As such, the speaker's delivery would make it clear. It's not a great example of written English.
