Recommended ways to learn the cases?

My German tutor recently told me that the only real way to learn the cases – accusative/dative/nominative/genitive – is just to memorize which verbs are which. She suggests memorizing the dative and nominative verbs because there are less of them, and then assuming the rest are accusative.

Is this really the best way for a new learner of German to identify the cases? Have other people had success with this method vs any other?
