We wish we could change this one a little - we think that a person who asks is NEVER a fool! At Taggart Tutors, we admire the vulnerability it takes to ask questions and maintain a curious mindset. It is the fear of looking like a fool that keeps us from asking important questions and unlocking pathways to new knowledge.

So why not ASK (see what we did there?) how we can help with your child's learning? Give us a call on (07) 3356 1177 or visit our website, www.taggarttutors.com.au

What's your favourite inspirational quotation?

We love this one because it reminds us that as a community of tutors, it's our responsibility to invigorate our students - we want learners to feel excited about learning! Tuition is the perfect way to bring about a sense of passion where there was once boredom. But also, it's a great way to encourage and nurture passion as it grows.

If you or someone you know needs help getting passionate about learning, why not get in touch? Give us a call of (07) 3356 1177 or contact us via our website, www.taggarttutors.com.au

Sometimes, the only way parents can track the progress of their young learners is with a termly report card, long after learning gaps have cemented and intervention is required.

At Taggart Tutors, we provide feedback on your child's progress after every session. Tuition with us means you have the ability to track the progress of your young learner, celebrate the wins along the way and ensure that gaps are managed as they emerge.

Why not experience the difference? Give us a call on (07) 3356 1177 or get in touch via our website, www.taggarttutors.com.au

How many students are in your child's classroom?

Finland often attributes the success of their education system to having, on average, only 14 primary students per teacher in classrooms. They are the best in the world, after all...

Imagine what learning in a more focused and exclusive environment could do for your young learner!

Taggart Tutors offers one-on-one tuition, small group workshops and computer-based tuition all year round. If you or a learner you know might benefit from a new learning environment, why not give us a call on (07) 3356 1177 or visit our website, www.taggarttutors.com.au

It can be a bit daunting to enter a new school year, balancing learning with making new social connections, perhaps even navigating new buildings and teachers.

Happy Term 4 everyone! At the end of last term, we ran a testimonial drive, and I was SO moved by not only how many responses we received, but how touching some of the feedback was. See for yourself below:

"Convincing them to engage in academic support outside of school was no small feat, but John's exceptional patience, consistency, and genuine care have made all the difference".
- Rikki S re: both her sons

"This personalised approach and care for the individual is at the heart of all John's staffing choices, continually selecting people who uphold the same values in their approach. This holistic approach is one of the things that we most love about Taggart's and one of the main reasons we stay. We cannot recommend John, Nick and the team more highly".
- Ange re: her daughter Freya

"This year my son started to struggle with English and we decided to enrol him at Taggart Tutors. After a lot of hard work my son turned a D grade in Term 1 into an A grade in Term 3. I could not be more impressed with John's ability to bring the best out in my children and I will forever be thankful fate brought us together all those years ago".
- Mat K re: his son Wil (after working with his daughter years previously)

There was a consistent theme to these reviews: longevity and care. We've built a support network for learners and families based on relationships and trust, and this has transformed not into a short-term 'quick fix', but into years-long friendships with families.

Learning support for learners to achieve their OWN potential is our goal, but I believe that this cannot ever be achieved without honest, transparent, trusting relationships. That's what we offer to our families and learners - the chance to believe in themselves and have confidence in their potential and abilities through consistency, love, nurture, and respect.

Thank you to everyone who provided a review, and for all of those who give us the chance to support their learners and families. To learn more about the caring support that your child (or you!) can expect, discover and experience at Taggart Tutors:

🎵🎶 HOLIDAYS ARE HERE AGAIN! 🎶🎵*

*Imagine it to the tune of Happy Days Are Here Again! 🎶🎵

But for us, learning can be, is, and should be joyful. Learning should create Happy Days, and just because school's out, it doesn't mean that learning has to be!

We're open for the entirety of the school break on Monday-Friday of both weeks from 8am-4pm* for computer-based catch-up, one-to-one tuition, AND Nick K.'s very own Year 12 Externals workshops in General, Methods & Specialist Maths.

*We're also open after 4pm for one-to-one tuition where needed.

The holidays are an AMAZING opportunity to catch up on missed sessions from throughout the term, make intensive catch-up gains in specific conceptual content areas while the time's available, and in the case of Seniors, prepare for that all-important upcoming end-of-year assessment and externals in just a few short weeks of a very short term.

If you want to learn more or you still need to book in, do it now and call us on 07 3356 1177 or email us on [email protected]. See you in the Centre these holidays for some Happy Learning!

"Storytelling is an ancient art that rarely receives the respect it deserves".
- Erika Eichenseer, Fairy-tale & German Folklorist Academic

Like much art, we all benefit from and enjoy the contributions of the written word, but the skill of the contributors isn't always valued in education, especially in the age of an emphasis on STEM.

I am a strong believer in the power of Written Expression - to move, to inspire, to educate, to inform, to provoke joy or to insist on action. Our learners don't always feel that way. Like many concepts, the Curriculum renders writing a prescriptive task, ham-strung by conformity. Unlike other concepts made convoluted and confusing, though, Written Expression tackles a creative practice. As my friend Dylan, a highly-respected teacher of English in a Northside Brisbane school says, 'Curriculum kills creativity'.

At Taggart Tutors, we run Written Expression workshops 3 times a week to address precisely this need. We help learners to develop an awareness of how to funnel their ideas into Curriculum-criteria expectation, and still feel creatively expressive. Of course we build the fundamentals of language - punctuation, grammar, spelling, and figurative literary devices. But we do this so that learners are free to truly build on their own ideas, to select vocabulary reflecting their creativity and to learn HOW to do this.

Writing isn't just 'a task'. It's a transferable skillset in communication and creativity for life. And to have the confidence and the knowledge to express yourself in a written form? That should by a joy.

To learn more about the joy in learning that your child (or you!) can expect, discover and experience at Taggart Tutors, call us on 07 3356 1177, email us on [email protected], or check out our website: www.taggarttutors.com.au today!

PS - For context on the difference we can make in creative Written Expression, just look at the sheer delight on this boy's face. A learner who has struggled enormously with literacy taking so much pride in having written his own book and becoming an author. He - and so many others like him - are why we do what we do. ❤️✏️📕📖

At Taggart Tutors, we personalise learning. We want learners to enjoy the learning process.
