📚 **5+ YEARS TEACHING EXPERIENCE | PRIMARY & HIGH SCHOOL TUTOR | NEW STUDENTS WELCOME** Hi! I’m Shruti, a private tutor and Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) student with over 5 years of experience teaching students through my role as a martial arts instructor. I love helping students work through things they once found difficult and seeing them become more confident in their own abilities. My lessons are relaxed, supportive and tailored to the individual student — whether they need help catching up, preparing for an assessment, strengthening their foundations or simply having something explained in a way that finally makes sense. 🎓 Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) student 📚 Private tutor for primary and high school students 👩🏻‍🏫 5+ years of experience teaching children and young people ✏️ 1st in my grade for English Advanced in my HSC Trial Examination 🥋 Black belt with 10+ years of Kyokushin Karate experience 🏆 3rd in NSW – Women’s Open Division, Kyokushin Karate (2024) ✨ **MY APPROACH** I don't believe there is one teaching style that works for every student. Some students need concepts broken down step by step. Others understand the content but struggle to apply it in exams or assessments. Some simply need a patient environment where they feel comfortable asking questions without worrying about getting something wrong. That's why I adapt my lessons to each student's ability, confidence and goals. In our lessons, I can: 🧩 Break difficult concepts into simple, manageable steps 📝 Work through homework, practice questions and assessments 🔎 Identify gaps in understanding and strengthen foundational skills 🎯 Develop exam and assessment strategies ✍️ Help improve writing, structure and written expression 📚 Build effective study and revision habits 🌟 Encourage confidence and independent learning Rather than simply giving students answers, I want them to understand **how** to reach the answer themselves. My goal is for students to gradually become less reliant on help as their skills and confidence grow. 🎒 **PRIMARY SCHOOL** I can support primary students with: • English and Mathematics • Reading and comprehension • Writing, spelling and vocabulary • Homework and assessment support • Revision and consolidation • Building foundational literacy and numeracy skills For younger students, I particularly focus on keeping lessons encouraging and easy to follow so that learning doesn't feel intimidating. 🎓 **HIGH SCHOOL** I can support high school students with: • English • Mathematics • Essay and extended-response writing • Homework and assessment preparation • Exam preparation and technique • Revision and study strategies • Organisation and study habits • Strengthening areas of difficulty English was one of my strongest and favourite subjects throughout high school. In Year 12, I placed **first in my grade in my English Advanced HSC Trial Examination**. My own HSC experience taught me that improvement doesn't come from simply studying for longer. Learning how to approach questions, structure responses, use feedback and practise effectively can make a huge difference. I aim to help my students develop those same skills. 👩🏻‍🏫 **5+ YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE** Teaching has actually been part of my life since before I became a private tutor. I have trained in Kyokushin Karate for over a decade, currently hold a black belt, and have spent more than five years teaching students as an instructor at my dojo. Working with students of different ages, personalities and abilities has taught me something that strongly influences the way I tutor: **two students can be learning exactly the same thing and need it taught in completely different ways.** I've learnt when to slow something down, when to explain it differently, when a student needs encouragement, and when they're ready to be challenged a little further. I bring that same patience and adaptability into my academic tutoring. 💛 **WHAT I WANT STUDENTS TO GET OUT OF TUTORING** Of course, improving academically matters — but I also want students to leave lessons feeling more capable than when they arrived. I want my students to become comfortable asking questions, learn from mistakes without feeling embarrassed, and develop strategies they can eventually use without me. Whether a student is struggling and needs extra support, wants to improve their results, or simply wants to feel more confident at school, I'll meet them at their current level and work from there. ⭐ **GET IN TOUCH** Feel free to message me with your child's **year level, subject and what they would like support with**, and I'd be happy to discuss what you're looking for and whether I'd be a good fit!
