Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I am passionate about helping others, including students, to dream, believe and achieve their aspirations through coaching and tutoring. I enjoy empowering each student to maximise potential and contribute towards greater educational outcomes for the benefit of our broader Australian society.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
As a tutor, I embody my core values: my family; health & wellbeing; continuous learning; integrity; respect; and confidentiality. I create a safe space for students to enable them to be vulnerable and open to make significant change and impact. Personally, I am a parent of two caring and loving kids. I lift others up. I have been described as a “ball of positivity”. I don't judge. I listen. I guide. I tell Dad jokes. I support. I challenge. I encourage. I genuinely care.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
As a reliable and motivational tutor, I lead by example demonstrating initiative to commence and finish projects. I set clear expectations and monitor performance against agreed plans with key performance indicators. As trust, confidence and good performance is further demonstrated, I encourage initiative and reward students with more autonomy. I seek to motivate and encourage each student while also supporting them to stretch and improve.Subjects Tutored 🎓
