Michelle is an experienced educator having taught in various settings across schools in South Australia for 25 years. This has included country and metropolitan schools, UNISA and working with teachers. 

​

Her tutoring business began in 2010 and has continued to evolve. Throughout teaching, Michelle has seen the variety and complexity involved in student learning. In class sizes that are large. In classrooms that are noisy. With work that is disengaging.

She has developed her skills in working with children on the spectrum, diagnosed learning disorders, dyslexia, auditory processing and anxiety. No one size fits all and learning needs to be diverse, connecting, creative and engaging. This has especially been true since becoming a mamma to her creative, bright, obsessive and imaginative boy!

​

Lessons are individually planned for your child's needs, interests and engagement. 

​

Michelle’s love of literature and story is a significant part of connecting with her students, as is developing safe relationships that guide and nurture a student when things feel ‘hard’. Skills and concepts from the Maths & English curriculum are embedded into these lessons. So that ‘hard’ things can become ‘easier’. Students can grow in confidence, know their own gifts and who they can be in this world.
