Jennifer is a registered primary school teacher who has worked closely with dyslexic children, teens, and adults over the past 30 years.
She has taught in and held many positions of leadership at all levels in the Primary school system, from Prep to grade six. Jennifer has been operating a specialised tutoring business on the Mornington Peninsula for the past 25+ years working with clients from ages 6 to 86. Over the years she has continued to study the many facets of learning difficulties, develop programs for teachers and individual children, and ran workshops for the community. At Essential Learning & Tutoring, Jenny’s focus is to enhance learning outcomes and to do this she designs her programs around research dedicated to understanding the memory process. These activities are reinforced with success at the end of each session to improve emotional and educational outcomes.
Our approach is not about ‘teaching’ or ‘telling’. By firstly approaching the child with respect, we assist individuals to engage in learning by creating an environment that is safe. Jennifer believes that every child is gifted with the capacity to learn, it is just up to the educator to find the right combination of techniques to suit the child.
