Can a tutor help my child? Julia Gilmore (M.Ed.,B.Ed.,Dip.Tch) Language, Literacy and Numeracy Specialist here do you go for help when a bright Primary or High School student is not reaching their potential? Call Julia at A1 Learning for home or centre help and watch the transformation. When parents decide to seek the help of a tutor, they want an immediate and professional service to make a difference. Two styles of help are most popular with students from Kindy to TEE: • Home Tutors: who come to your house (all suburbs) • Attendance at a specialist centre: for comprehensive assessment, individual programs and ongoing specialist assistance. Parents and students deserve the best assessment, the best instruction and the best individual programs, as well as the motivation and inspiration that only caring, experienced, highly qualified, experienced teachers can provide. Students from Kindy to Year 12 can benefit from the help of a good tutor if they are cruising, struggling or need extension at school. At A1 Learning the success rate for students is extremely high, with positive results noted immediately. Services include: • Early formal learning from Kindy to Year 3 • Reading and comprehension

Spelling, grammar, punctuation and editing Mathematics Written expression: essay writing Study skills Preparation for High School All high school subjects Comprehensive assessment and reports. An action plan for each student is designed. Students may need to go back-to-basics, have explicit teaching or extension. Students are often highly intelligent, even gifted and talented, but can struggle to cope at school or cruise at an average level and never reach their full potential. Marked academic improvement and higher self esteem is seen within a few short weeks. One hour per week can make a huge difference, for example, Jay had Speech, Occupational and Auditory Processing therapies but was still struggling with handwriting and story writing. Not anymore; he now loves to write long, interesting, well-written stories. Mia struggled with maths last year and was worried about going to a private High School in Year 7. She breezed through Term One and NAPLAN. For a chat or bookings call Julia Gilmore on 9402 5080.
