Tutoring Service

Hi there!

Are you looking for an enthusiastic, passionate and professional tutor and learning coach that is highly skilled in providing engaging and targeted tutoring and coaching.  If you answered yes, than I would love to be your child’s tutor, or even yours.

If you are thinking of attending university or are already at university and want to succeed, I will provide you with the knowledge and tools to be able to not only complete your assignments at university but to also excel. I believe everyone can succeed at university, or in any field they desire, when they are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to know. Because I love what I do and understand what is required to successfully complete course requirements, I believe that I can teach anyone, regardless of background, to achieve his or her goals. Please see the front page of this blog for further details about my approach to learning.

I provide professional tutoring and coaching for anyone wanting to advance in their learning, such as thinking of or actually completing a course, regardless of type. Many of my students come to me because they want to attend university and they want to acquire the knowledge and skills to be able to either gain entrance or to successfully complete course requirements. Many others are already completing some kind of course, from courses provided by private industries to universities. If you're wanting the support and encouragement to achieve education beyond want you have ever imagined, please book your first session with me. In early January I am also offering a university preparation program that will cover all elements of effective writing, from sentence and paragraph construction to all the elements of essay and report writing. Please see Learning Programs for further details (link will be available soon).

My tutoring and coaching is of a very high standard as I aim to help each of my students acquire the results they aspire to achieve.  Throughout my teaching and tutoring experience I have acquired the skills to tailor my craft, including my instructional materials and resources, to be specific to student needs, regardless of their age or experience.  For this reason my tutoring delivers results.

Why choose me as your tutor?

The following outlines my personal approach to how I tutor my clients and what my service entails.

So, what is my approach to tutoring and coaching. Well, I like to to follow the three Ps.

The three Ps entail that tutoring should be professional, private, and personalised.

• Professional tutoring by an experienced and qualified teacher who has worked in a variety of academic settings, from highschool to university level, to operating and managing a tutoring centre.  I have a thorough knowledge of the Australian Curriculum and university standards and curriculum guidelines.  I also have experience creating and designing resources for both high school and university students.
• One-on-one (1:1) private tutoring and coaching enables me to raise individual performance by targeting needs and interests immediately, rather than over time.  This personal style of tutoring also increases motivation and confidence, and leads to greater enjoyment of the learning process.
• Individually created and designed tutoring and learning coaching plans and resources target needs and interests, and are therefore highly personalised to each student.

Overall, I really love what I do and believe that if you choose me as your tutor and learning coach you are choosing success.

What does the service entail?

• Each sessions runs for 60 minutes.  The session is organised according to the student's needs.  It may entail primarily assignment work or it may be comprised of knowledge and skill building activities that have been specifically formulated to develop writing or research skills.
• To ascertain student needs and interests I conduct a brief assessment of student comprehension and writing skills in the first session.  This assessment will enable me to create and develop resources that will target what the student needs to further develop.  My aim is to make sessions as interactive as possible.  However, according to the needs of the student, I may also provide immediate assistance with assignment writing, particularly if the assignment is due in a very short time period.
• To provide guidance I will also conduct an individual work plan that will outline student goals and interests.  This provides me with pivotal information to ensure student engagement and progress.
• To help ensure progress I will also regularly record knowledge and skill acquisition and this will be shown to the student and parents.  This information is collated in a weekly planner.
• Each session will be developed to try and ensure student enjoyment.  For this reason it is my goal to make them meaningful, personal and enjoyable.

Overall, I hold my self highly accountable for my students success in their academic pursuits. Please read my blog entries to gain further insight into my teaching and learning approaches.
