Excited to announce the DW Tutoring website!

As a disabled educator, I provide personalised support for neurodiverse students.

With school returning next week, now is the ideal time to schedule a free assessment for your child’s needs.

Visit https://www.dwtutoring.com.au to discover how my tutoring and research services fuse academic rigour with creative strategies.

Please share this so that families can benefit from my approach.

Moments like this make it all worthwhile.

This client has multiple challenges including autism, ADHD, dysgraphia and dyslexia.

Previous to our working together they really struggled in the classroom environment.

Whilst it helps we really “vibe” together, providing the structure, support, confidence to make mistakes & instilling self belief == success!

Evidence provided below that this advice was practiced as well as preached by me (despite my broken wrist).

I solemnly swear it has worked for me, my colleagues and students.

Granted not every practice works for everyone, but I will always recommend one at least tries it.

Neither my client or their sibling knew what a circus was. As their sister was performing in a ballet recital today, I shared a photo from my past.

This photo shows me preshow at a circus (think big top, sawdust, animals etc) our ballet school teamed with.

I was a strongman and my performance saw me lift huge dumbbells with considerable ease 😹

It’s #BookWeek once again and we at DW Tutoring have kicked it off with Lily Wu’s book Peacock Girl!

Happy reading and we hope you have a great weekend.

If you are visiting the petting zoo at the Ekka please make sure you wash and dry your hands!

Wednesday evening will see me bring my horns to one of my clients to serenade their cows.

They have previously played trombone so should be amoosing.

Not sure who is going to get the bigger kick out of it. Me, them or the cows.

Plus if it isn’t pasture bedtime the calves should be in attendance too 🥰🐮🐄

Father, it has been seven years and three months since I last performed a Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test.

When my clients complain about the amount of reading they have to do this week.

This is mine, minus two text books I hope to get from the library this weekend.

Not to mention the analysis and reflections I have to write on said readings.

That moment when, following a student who says they hate and doesn’t understand maths…

…then successfully transforms an equation (theorem) all on their own!
