Tutoring Jobs
I offer professional, 1:1 online reading, spelling, writing & maths tuition for children aged 4 – 14. For learners who experience difficulty taking in, comprehending &/or retaining even the best teaching instruction, I also offer a clinical-strength, teacher-monitored, online homework program that playfully targets & strengthens the key cognitive skills needed for learning (memory, attention, processing, and sequencing). Whether you’re home or away, the memory & attention homework takes just 30-minutes; once, twice or thrice a day, 3 to 5 times a week. My 1:1 tutoring is all done online using the fabulous Koala Go app for our lesson hosting which offers a fun and engaging learning experience, in a virtual world that’s similar to Minecraft - so kids love it! I use the science of reading (and learning) to provide the best strategies possible for students to succeed. I help kids rapidly improve language, phonics, reading, foundational math skills & everyday school readiness by simultaneously developing key cognitive skills like memory, processing ability, listening accuracy & focus — all vital to learning yet difficult to fine-tune at school. I am a certified Fast ForWord provider, Sounds-Write practitioner, breathing & brain-health coach, and a qualified member of the Australian Tutoring Association. As I am online, I tutor children Australia-Wide!

Tutoring Experience
I’m a primary teacher, parent, brain health coach & tutor in the Film & TV industry where, as well as teaching our littlest Aussie ‘stars‘ their schoolwork, I’ve used novel, neuroplasticity exercises to help kids quickly comprehend their scripts, commit their lines to memory & enjoy anxiety-free acting. My tutoring business is called Code Word Brain and I have been tutoring for over 10 years now. My methods came from the ground-breaking neuroscientific research & teachings of experts like Dr Mike Merzenich, Carol Dweck, Dr Daniel Amen, Patrick McKeown, & Jim Kwik. I was so encouraged by how quickly neuroplasticity exercises improved expressive & receptive language, reading ability, confidence & even happiness for my students, I launched Code Word Brain to help benefit young learners, Australia wide. Routine plays a ‘starring’ role in these fast, language-based neuroplasticity exercises, & when it comes to routine… there’s no place like home! Conveniently, you won’t need to go anywhere — you can do Code Word Brain everywhere, even on holiday. For parents who know that good practice routines change everything, I’m here to guide & motivate the mission so your child is more inclined to take the personal me time needed to change & improve their brain for better learning & brighter days.
