Does your child, or you as a student struggle to engage with school? To you feel like your teacher doesn't listen to you, or explain things so that they are relevant and you can understand? Do you have difficulty understanding or keeping up with new topics in class? Does your child or you as a student feel like you are not challenged at school and want to gain a deeper understanding of science or mathematics? I can provide science or mathematics tutoring for years 7-10, as well as mathematics, chemistry or physics tutoring for years 11-12. I am very familiar with the Australian Curriculum for Science and Mathematics (years 7-10), and studied both my Bachelor of Science (Hons, University Medal) and PhD at the Australian National University. My teaching philosophy is built on teacher-student relationships and carefully designed learning moments: I listen for how the student is thinking, not the answer that I expect to hear. This means that I can quickly identify their strengths and weaknesses, tailoring a learning program to best suit their needs. I will use the relationship that I build with your child to make our tutoring sessions relevant and engaging. I will perform an initial assessment of student ability and structure tutoring sessions with continuity and relevance to the specific knowledge gaps, skills and learning difficulties that are making school a challenge. I place significant focus on building confidence and self-awareness. I use a range of learning styles, and will provide learning activities (not just boring worksheets!) to help develop key foundational skills and understanding that will enable the student to succeed as a lifelong learner. I have a deep passion for science and mathematics: To my tutoring I bring 7 years of professional workplace experience in scientific research and training/experience in Applied Learning in a high school classroom (2 years). I am available after 4pm on weekdays. I can come to your home in the Gungahlin region (Belconnen/Inner North negotiable), or alternatively the student can come to my home in Palmerston. Please follow the link to my Prezi which captures my teaching philosophy, artifacts from my teaching and how I meet the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (AITSL standards). I hope to provide a valuable learning experience for you or your child.
