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.
