About the store
I have over 10 years teaching experience
I have taught in Years 1 – 6, Learning Support and Gifted Education
I have been an acting principal, Advisory Visiting Teacher and GIfted Education Mentor and Coordinator, University Presented in Gifted and Talented and LIteracy
I am trained to coordinator level in the global Reading Recovery Program, and... I LOVE being involved with children's positive learning
I am also a teacher (and mum) who is passionate about parents being aware of their child’s academic strengths and weaknesses and having the knowledge and resources to assist them, without the additional expense of outside help on a regular basis.
This is why I started DIY Tutor. Academic skills are taught in such a different way to when parents were at school. Nowadays, parents are often unable to assist their child in learning essential skills without tears and confusion. DIY Tutor is there to bridge this gap and work with parents to help them understand the skills needed now for lifelong school success and how to help their child at home, without the ongoing cost of tutoring.

Award Winning Behaviour Management System - Stair Case Design
This system was one of the main points mentioned on my 'Teacher of the Year' nomination as the parents and students found it empowering, clear and eary to follow.
I have left it as a 'word' document so you can change the reward/consequence etc... to match your own classes decisions.
Step 1 - Talk about how rewards go up and bad choices go down (like a frown and a smile)
Step 2 - Decide/negotiate on rewards and consequences - ie: get bigger each step
Step 3 - Have each student sign the staircas
