Happy Easter!

As a home tutor, my employment can sometimes be viewed as a mere business transaction. My efforts beyond the remuneration I receive can at times go unnoticed. Around Easter, however, I am sometimes touched by small gestures from appreciative parents - thoughtful treats - reminding me that my efforts are seen. Those moments stay with me, affirming the extra time and energy I put into every tutoring session. Thank you to the parent who gave me these gorgeous choccies! I am taken aback by your generosity and thoughtfulness. - Mel

Never lose touch with your inner child...

Throughout my years as a teacher, I’ve noticed that some students think in ways that genuinely surprise me. They often approach ideas from angles I hadn’t considered, and their observations can feel strikingly honest and insightful. I remember moments when a simple comment completely shifted how I understood a concept. These contributions don’t always follow expected patterns, but that’s what makes them so valuable. They remind me to pause and listen more carefully. Time and again, I have found that students are capable of offering perspectives that deepen learning in ways I could never have planned. - Mel
