2 – How Teachers Tailor Learning For Your Child

One example of the different kinds of tutoring services I offer is a boy I work with in year three and a girl that I work with in year five.  With the boy in year three, he needs a lot of help with reading comprehension, doing inferential questions, literal questions, going back to the text, searching for clues, and figuring out how to summarize succinctly what he has actually read.

3 – The Problem Parents Are Facing

The problem that parents are facing all around the world is how do you work from home and make sure that your kids are on task and are learning?  Teachers have already provided online learning and they have done a fantastic job of working very fast very quickly in an unprecedented time to provide digital content for kids to work through.  The only issue there is that teachers are burdened

4 – Teaching Styles Have Changed

Another reason why I think it is important to hire a tutor is due to the learning styles of children at school.  The way that maths in particular was taught a couple years ago, even compared to now is very, very different. For example, a child that I tutor in Year Three has a father who is helping him with maths at nighttime. This father is working from home. He’s

5 – A Tutor Will Use Many Styles To Engage Children

We were taught through our professional development as teachers that if you have a simple problem, like 420 plus 17, a kid should be able to do that off the top of their head straight away. For example, 420 plus 10 is 430. And then you add the seven from the ones place of the 17.  Many parents I have seen firsthand, and students, would take 420, put it on

6 – Myths About Online Tutoring

Here are some common myths about why online tutoring might not work.  Some people have said to me, “Okay, well, my child has trouble sitting still for a while, how are you going to be able to tutor them?”  Someone else said to me, “My child is not confident with a computer” or “My child is too young”.  But the benefits are that if you have a break in your

8 – You Want A Tutor, But Where Do You Start?

The time has come and you have realized, I definitely need a tutor! You may be wondering, “Okay, so where do we start?”  My recommendation is to go to www.WeNeedATeacher.com.au to start with, or alternative sites, and figure out from all the profiles presented which tutor fits my child the best.  Maybe your child works best with someone from the same gender? Maybe they would appreciate someone from a different
