Let me take on the mental load of helping your teen get the results they’re actually capable of.
Is Tutoring right for your teen?
Where there’s a mismatch between effort and results is where the tutoring magic happens.
Too often teens actually do have (at least some) motivation to do well at school, but they don’t know how to study effectively or prepare for exams.
So if your teen is struggling to get the results that reflect their true potential, I can help them learn:
How to study PRODUCTIVELY
How to get ready for their EXAMS
What study techniques to use
How to overcome PROCRASTINATION
How to set up systems to get and stay ORGANISED
The results speak for themselves
Let me take the mental load
When it comes to being a study ‘coach’, it can be really hard for parents to fill that role.
A lot of teens don’t want to hear it from their parents (“I KNOW, Mum!”), and some parents don’t have the confidence or experience to give their teens that kind of help — maybe it’s been quite a long time since you did any study yourself?
This is why 1:1 help with me works so well — I am a neutral third party who can step in and see things objectively. I can provide your teen with the personalised help they need, drawing on my experience as a student, a tutor, a lawyer, and a Mum.
Why me?
Studying has been the name of my game.
From high school, to my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science, to LSAT and law school at the University of Melbourne where I finished in the top 10% of my class.
But because I’m also a Mum, I get it.
I talk to kids all day and know when to push and when to pull. I’m not there to be their friend but I am there to encourage, support, and ultimately get the best out of them, just like any good coach does.
We can customise the type, content and frequency of any Study Session to make sure your teen is getting the help they need, but as a starting point here are a few options.

Not sure what kind of Session your teen needs?

What To Expect
Before a Session
After clicking the Book Now Button you will be able to pick the time slot that suits you and answer a few quick questions to help me get to know your teen, what they’re struggling with, and what you want to get out of our session(s).
Once you’ve booked you will be sent a Zoom invite link for the Session, and then we’re good to go!
During a Session
First I will spend a bit of time getting to know you and your teen and making sure I understand what their pain points are.
Then we will talk about some strategies you/they can implement to get their study on track.
Finally, we will spend the remainder of the Session making a start on implementing the strategy we’ve discussed. It could be making an Exam Study Timetable, setting goals, working through an organisation plan etc.
After a Session
I get cracking on your teen’s Personalised Plan — a simple to follow but detailed Plan that I will send through soon after the Session so you don’t have to take notes during the Session and can keep referring to the Plan over the coming months.
I follow up with you a week or two after the Session to see how your teen is going and whether we need to tweak anything. At this time we can update your teen’s Personalised Plan if need be.
