Our Programmes
We assist our students by going back to the foundations and filling in the missing conceptual gaps that are hindering your child’s success. There will always be opportunities to improve the efficiency of learning and to develop great habits and this is what we’re here to do.
Tutor Doctor uses the curriculum and homework the student is currently working with to ensure the most relevant tutoring is provided. We use a variety of well-known books and educational materials personally selected for each student dependent on their needs. We also work with the student’s current teacher to ensure that we are meeting the student and teacher’s expectations.
We proudly offer the following private tutoring programmes:
Primary School
Right from an early age your child will be soaking up all that is taught at school at an impressive rate as their brain develops. Often children can be overwhelmed by the experience or can suffer set-backs through illness or learning difficulties that become known at a later stage. It is so important for the concepts and the building blocks to be understood and become second nature. If we try to build on shaky foundations eventually areas of that learning process will fall through the gaps and confidence and grades will be effected.
Let Tutor Doctor ensure your younger students are off to a strong start.
Secondary School
Once the student has reached secondary school they have well and truly begun their journey through the maze of subjects and modules. As the learning and level of subjects becomes increasingly complex, many parents find it difficult to assist with homework and look for a dedicated and knowledgeable tutor. Whether it is in preparation for taking their exams or re-sitting to improve upon grades, students will all have one thing in common: a vision of where they want to be on the results board. Some students simply don’t know where to begin or how to revise.
Whatever the reason Tutor Doctor will provide structure, time and goal setting and will work with the student throughout the period to ensure that they are confident and best prepared when working on assignments and entering the examination room.
In their final years at school (Years 11 and 12) students will begin to set their bearing upon their futures by choosing from an ever increasing array of subject areas and potential vocations. The Higher School Certificate (HSC) is a whole lot more complex than the earlier years and as the students put in more time to understand fewer subjects the discipline of working alone and creating structure to the learning becomes of great importance.
University Degree Courses
We often get asked by under and post graduates if we can assist in certain areas of their coursework for a variety of reasons. We find that because of missing foundations to some key areas of their learning they are becoming hampered with the process of understanding and answering questions relevant to their course. We can provide specialists with sector specific knowledge to coach, mentor and support students on most courses.
Mature Students
You are never too old to learn. We happily tutor students of all ages and in all subjects.
Languages
So much of life centers around communication. As our cultures become more fused, the need to speak other languages in business becomes of greater importance.
Many of our students are looking to learn a second language –Mandarin, Spanish, German, French, Thai, etc. For many people living in Australia, a second language can give them a greater advantage at a successful career.
We have ESL tutors available who have assisted many students on a one-to-one basis where learning is enhanced and value for money is evident.
