25.01.2022 The biggest success of an educator is to help the students move towards independent and proactive learners. They want to learn and enjoy the process of mastering the skill. What’s better than when your students/kids ask for more worksheets when you tell them to take time off from homework during the school holiday... Our best intentions as parents and educators are using the tuition, homework as a tool to help the kids get used to the routine, be more disciplined and more co...nfident in what they do. Yet many kids associate learning with tears, fear, threatening constantly. That would be the last thing you want to happen on a regular basis. A few things you can do when your kids have meltdowns every time they need to do their homework: + let go until things calm down + give them choices to empower them + reinforce why they do what they do + encourage them with the smallest improvement

17.01.2022 What have I learned from teaching students English and Maths? 1. Become a better learner: I have always had a love of learning from a young age. However, learning continuously is more important when we teach students. Because I understand that what we teach today can have a long-term impact on their future. I feel a heavy responsibility to train myself up. Most of the time, the process of learning is unlearning relearning what matters to the students to prepare them for thei...r future. I love the process because it makes me grow and expand my identity. 2. Be a better communicator: Teaching students from different age groups and numerous new concepts help me find the best way to communicate with each of an individual. Which learning style suits this student? What motivates her/him? What are their keywords so that I need to use them? What tone of voice and speech speed can make the students listen and understand better? One of my favourite things is to communicate with parents. What are the good questions to ask to deeply understand their needs and wants? 3. Be more patient and compassionate: Unfortunately, there are so many students that we see and teach, outside the classroom, they may have a lot of issues at home. In some cases, we, teachers, are the only role model that they have. We are the parents that they always want to have. Therefore, it is so important to have a better understanding of where they come from and what else is going on with their lives apart from their study. It will help us be more patient and compassionate with our students, which can lead to happy teaching, happy learning. Jerry Le

14.01.2022 We live in a fast-paced world with constant changes. Although learning is a life long process, the ability to be focused and learning fast is an advantage. These are the tips to help kids be fast learners with a new concept: BE FAST; Believe, Excercise, Forget, Active, State, Teaching Believe: belief in the kids that they can learn a new concept, you are going to be good at it. ... Exercise: giving kids plenty of time and space for physical movement, attending sports. Forget: telling kids to forget what they've already known and treat this as brand new knowledge. Active: kids really need to do the actual works, repeating, again and again, asking and answering questions until it becomes the new skill. State: creating a comfortable space and good time which they're in a good sate to learn. Teaching: encouraging kids to share and teach the new concept with their siblings or their friends.

13.01.2022 With the current lockdown situation, it seems that many families need to take on the task of teaching their kids at home in term two. Understanding the difficulty of schooling the children, juggling with working from home or taking care of other kids, we'd recommend a few things that parents can do to help ease the transition during the Coronavirus crisis. 1. Gratitude: When you read all the articles about the health workers, who need to isolate themselves from their family ...members and their kids to serve the community, you’ll feel so grateful just to be with your kids and family. 2. Accept the new normality: You'll be performing different roles at the same time. Things are going to be messy, not going to be perfect and that’s fine. Your home technology is not fast enough for your work. Your home environment is noisy and distracting. You'll be providing food, education, entertainment for the kids. Juggling is hard and you just need to accept the new normality, focusing on the fact that this is the best and safest option we have right now. 3. Be kind to yourself and seek help: Many of you are not trained to be a teacher and have limited skill and patience schooling the kids. Repeatedly telling yourself and your kids that you’re doing your best. Having lots of compassion for yourself and setting the expectation that everyone will need to work harmoniously to go through this difficult time. You can call your friend, who is an educator, for help or set up the online learning program with an online tutor. 4. Stick to the daily routine: This is so far the most important one especially for kids. They like to know what’s coming next. That’s the best way to avoid whinging. Whenever the kids say ' I'm hungry' or ' I don't want to study', you just need to point to the timetable sheet and ask them 'what's the time and what are you supposed to do?'. You all need to sit together and work out the best routine for all members of the family. How many hours do you think the kids need to devote to learning, to chores, have their own creativity time. Don’t forget to give them the time to chat with their friends. 5. Finding something to do together to improve the house: rearranging the house, reorganizing the room, growing vegetable and flowers, making more space in the back yard for a bike ride or football. 6. Last but not least, eat healthy food, exercise, keep yourself hydrated, have enough sleep, learn something new, watch more comedy and less Coronavirus news and laugh a lot together!

12.01.2022 How to support each other as a family to survive and thrive during this difficult time: + Be flexible: Kids are not going to sleep early as they normally do because they’re not stimulating and tired enough. It’s not good news to parents because that is the only time they have peaceful, quiet and alone time. Working parents might in a very important meeting and the kids just have meltdowns or need help with the homework....Continue reading

11.01.2022 Dear parents, I’ve been listening to our amazing parents during the pandemic. Here are the common worries and frustrations with remote learning and some tips to help. 1. I’m worried my kids are falling behind: This is the most common and relevant. Some schools can have great access to online learning while some don’t. ... What can I do? Communicate with the school teachers to express your concerns and require extra help when they’re back to school. If they do tuition, let them continue with online learning. If parents are confident with teaching, you can find a lot of workbooks from Officeworks or online programs and set up a routine for them to do it. 2. I can’t teach and help the kids complete schoolwork: It is very hard to ask you to do this task with little preparation. It takes years for us, educators, to learn and teach every day to help your children and we’re still learning. What can I do? Let go of perfection at this time. Try to help as much as you can. Please seek help, the first point of contact will be their school teachers. If they can’t do anything at this stage, you just need to surrender, let it go. They’re going to be okay, kids are very resilient, they will catch up, it’s not life-threatening. 3. Too much screen time: Because we work from home and most of the time we’re on computers, so we may feel guilty to tell them not to use Ipads, computers constantly. What can I do? Sit together and work out how much time, when and reasons they can use Ipads, computers. If they resist at first, be firm and stick to the agreement. 4. They’re easily aggressive, not sleeping through the night. Sometimes anger, emotional outburst are just the surface of the feeling of loneliness and abandonment. What can I do? Try to see what are they really angry about. Validate their feelings of loneliness. Share with them that you have the same feeling too. Make some plans that you can do things together. Let them facetime or messenger kids with their friends. 5. I’m exhausted, so much to do: Many parents are burned out because we need to wear many hats at the same time. What can I do? Delegate, delegate. We usually underestimate our kids’ ability to do different things. If they don’t spend much time and focus on study, you may as well ask them to do more chores, learn other skills that can help you. Do one thing you really enjoy daily: walk with friends, read a book, listen to favourite songs, exercise, play instruments, painting, talk with friends. It can be just 15 mins but it really helps. Together we can get through this! Jerry Le

10.01.2022 Thank you to all of the health care workers who are making heroic efforts to test and treat patients across the United States and the world.

09.01.2022 The other day, my 9-year-old daughter came to me and asked, ‘mum what talents do I have and what is my weakness?' As a parent, an educator, and a counsellor, one of the things I would love to do is to observe what the kids are best at. And I would love to give them my opinion and encourage them to find their talents and weaknesses. Because self-understanding is so important throughout our life. The biggest challenge of the parent is seeing your child as a separate human being, as who she or he is. The kids have their strengths and weaknesses. Once we realise that, we need to observe and praise them a lot on their strengths.

08.01.2022 Working in education, teaching our future generation, we constantly update our knowledge, cultivate the teaching experience, learning the new ways to communicate with our students effectively. But to be able to help the kids improve, especially kids who lack the confidence and have a learning difficulty, kindness, understanding, and love are the must.

03.01.2022 Merry Christmas and Happy New year to everyone!

02.01.2022 The Lynn's Learning Wantirna South has been running the online program for the past term and thanks to all great students and parents, it was a big success. The students love the online program because they still do their personalised worksheets with paper and pencil. They also have a chance to interact with their online buddy since there are only two students in one session. The parents love it because they save travel time and their kids still keep their learning well. Mo...re importantly, the parents are very happy that the kids can talk to the teachers who care about their children and their learning process. For further enquires please call us on 04 3207 3415 or email us at [email protected]. We can arrange the class timetable that suits your family's schedule.
