Tegan brings extensive hands-on experience as a learning support assistant in primary schools, working closely with students on literacy, numeracy and general classroom skills. She regularly supports children with complex cognitive and physical needs, helping adapt and implement individual learning plans alongside classroom teachers. This tutor is confident running small-group activities, preparing targeted resources and giving students the time and attention they need to succeed. Parents can be reassured that Tegan understands how to create calm, structured and engaging learning environments for a wide range of learners.
Tegan is currently completing a Bachelor of Education (Primary), so her tutoring is grounded in up-to-date teaching theory as well as practical classroom experience. Beyond school settings, she has worked as an out-of-school-hours educator, using play-based learning to support children’s social, emotional and academic development. Her background as a swimming instructor and school sports coach shows she can break skills into clear steps, give constructive feedback and keep sessions active and enjoyable, which is ideal for younger students who need movement and variety.
Tegan has a strong track record supporting students with disabilities and additional needs, including one-to-one support for a child with Type 1 diabetes, backed by specialised diabetes training and first aid qualifications in education settings. She is attentive to behaviour and safety, and comfortable working closely with parents to share progress and strategies. Drawing on her experience coaching sport and leading children’s activities, this tutor blends structure with warmth, helping even anxious or reluctant learners feel safe, included and confident to have a go in Maths and English.
