AGES 5Â - 11 (PRIMARY)
Lower Primary - Play Based Tuition
During the first few years of Primary School, children learn best through play.
I can complement your child's school curriculum learning with a variety of play-based activities and games that will enhance their understanding of English and maths.
Extra Specialist Training:
Dyslexia
Dyscalculia
'Sounds Write'
'Jolly Phonics'
'Words Their Way'
I can support students undergoing
Occupational Therapy or Speech Therapy
by implementing their specialist program.
Upper Primary - Tuition
If a child has fallen behind in English or maths or if they have missed some schooling over the years, through personal tuition, we can find and fill the gaps to help them get back on track.
I also offer help with homework motivation, organisation, planning, writing and proof-reading.

HIGH SCHOOL
Motivation, Preparation and Proof-Reading
​
A parent's relationship with their child is of paramount importance during their formative, teenage years. Time with your teenage child is precious and needs to be positive but sometimes battles over school work can be testing.
By providing support and encouragement to your child, I can help with the planning, writing and proof-reading of assignments, to keep them motivated and on track.
I offer support in all subjects other than Yr 9+ maths.
​
Lessons can take place in your own home or at a mutually agreed venue.
