Tutoring Plus+

A comprehensive package pairing weekly play-based tutoring with direct collaboration with school.

Service Description

The Tutoring Plus+ package is designed for families who want more than tutoring alone. It brings together joyful, play-based learning with the kind of school communication and collaboration parents dream of. Your child grows in confidence during sessions, and the insights we gain each week flow directly into their classroom through thoughtful, collaborative partnership with their teacher. ✔️ 10 weeks of play-based tutoring: Each session draws directly from what your child is learning at school that week, guided by communication with their classroom teacher. Then we bring it alive through movement, storytelling, imagination, and hands-on activities that connect with your child’s natural interests and ways of thinking. ✔️ Weekly parent communication: phone calls and email ✔️ Direct collaboration with your child’s teacher. Weekly communication handled for you. No more waiting months for updates. ✔️ Improved teacher understanding of how your child learns best. ✔️ Small but meaningful classroom adjustments recommended and refined throughout the term. ✔️ Practical guidance for teachers that help them understand your child's social, emotional and academic needs deeply. ✔️ Alignment between tutoring goals and classroom learning to keep progress steady. ✔️ I coordinate and integrate with any specialists your child sees (OT, speech, psychology) so their school support reflects the full picture. ✔️ Led by Mrs Siegel, experienced teacher with a Masters in Teaching. Based in Burradoo, NSW Tutoring in-person only. Advocacy support available in-person, phone, or video. Price: 210 per week

Why play-based learning?

Play-based learning is learning that feels like play, yet sits on decades of research showing that children thrive when learning matches the way their developing brains are wired: to move, explore, imagine, and make meaning through hands-on experience.

When learning feels like play, motivation rises, stress falls, and the brain forms strong, long-lasting connections that make new skills stick. This is why we teach the way children learn, so the gains reach far beyond the session.

What is Classroom Advocacy?

When school feels hard for a child, parents often assume the only solutions exist outside the classroom: appointments, assessments, therapies, endless expert opinions, all in the hope that something will help their child “fit” the school day more easily. Yet the classroom, the place where the struggle shows up most, often goes untouched.

 

My Advocacy Program and Tutoring Plus+ Program changes that. I step into the school space to work directly with your child’s teacher, ensuring the environment adapts to your child, not the other way around. Whether your child has multiple specialists (speech, OT, psychologist) or none at all, we bring clarity, alignment, and thoughtful adjustments into the room where they spend most of their day.

 

In practical terms, it may look like: Adjusting sensory demands (lighting, noise, seating, movement breaks).Reframing behaviour as communication, helping teachers interpret your child's behaviour as part of the story. Clarifying learning needs so tasks are scaffolded at the right level; neither overwhelming nor too simple.Refining communication strategies (clearer instructions, visual cues, predictable routines, previewing transitions).Building noticing habits, so teachers catch early signs of overload, anxiety, or disengagement.

 

Offering alternative ways to show learning (oral responses, hands-on tasks, drawing, movement-based activities).Creating emotional safety by adjusting expectations, reducing pressure, and strengthening teacher–student connection.Aligning specialist recommendations into classroom-friendly strategies teachers can implement immediately.

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I live and work, the Gundungurra people, and pay my deepest respects to Elders past and present.

 

I recognise that First Nations people have been learning on this Country, teaching children through story, song, movement, and connection for tens of thousands of years.

 

This work of listening to children, making space for their strengths, and honouring their ways of knowing walks in the long shadow of that wisdom. I hold deep gratitude for it.
