23.01.2022 This week, let's switch from Tutor Tuesdays to Testimonial Tuesdays! We are so proud of what our learners have been able to achieve with guidance from our teaching team. Here are some kind words from a valued Taggart Tutors Parent... "Gaps were identified in three of my children’s schoolwork and they weren’t keeping up in the classroom. John was able to identify our kids needs immediately and take them right back to where the gaps originated. They've been building their know...ledge from there. All the tutors are amazing, friendly and helpful. The three kids love them all! We love having John's tutoring in our lives, it's really helped with their confidence towards learning." - Nikki Thank you so much for your kind words and the opportunity to work with your family. We love supporting them and all our Taggart Tutors learners.

23.01.2022 Taggart Tutors is so excited to announce that we'll be running our first ever Drama, Communication & Confidence-Building workshops for Primary-aged learners these school holidays! These workshops are our latest way of supporting learners in the community, and we've invited former Girls' Grammar Drama teacher and renowned Brisbane theatre-maker Emma Churchland to join our team for a very limited time to deliver them. For details of sessions, see our Facebook events section o...r please contact us on 07 3356 1177 to book in your child's place - and share this video with anyone whose children will benefit from Emma's Confidence-Building through Drama magic!

22.01.2022 We can tell you that 'we personalise learning' - but who better to share their positive learning experiences than our very own learners? While offering feedback on our session to her parents yesterday, just look at what this Year 5 wrote on our whiteboard! Unprompted and entirely voluntarily, she shared her very own 'before and after' Taggart Tutors story (complete with wonderful artwork!) on her contrasting experiences of Maths! This Year 5 girl's testimony melted my heart... and is the reason we exist - to help and support learners to feel positive about the learning experience and process. Just look at the difference in before and after! If you'd like your child to feel this way too, please don't hesitate to get in touch! - Call us on 07 3356 1177 - Email at [email protected] - Check out our website www.taggarttutors.com.au The positive learning journey starts here!

22.01.2022 Learning is all about trial-and-error! Nothing demonstrated this more effectively than our Lego Robotics Workshops these school holidays as our apprentice programmers attempted to send their robotic creations through an obstacle course. As you can see, much fun was had (and thanks to the coding skills learned, they made it through the course in the end...)!... At Taggart Tutors, we know that making an attempt is the first step to succeeding. To find out more, you can: - Call us on 07 3356 1177 - Email us on [email protected] - Check out our website www.taggarttutors.com.au Happy learning! #programmingfails #ifatfirstyoudontsucceed #legorobotics #happylearning

18.01.2022 It's Testimonial Tuesday and our little mate here is so clever, he'll be running the joint before we know it! What does his mum Danielle have to say about it? "Taggart Tutors are amazing. I have twins in Grade 2 this year and John and his team have been amazing. Can't believe the improvement". We're so thrilled to know that both our charming apprentice and his twin sister are now kicking goals and thriving in school.

18.01.2022 Have you ever heard (or thought!) any of these? - "Kids can't learn in the holidays." - "They need a break". - "Just let kids be kids". ... These thoughts are based in the mindset that learning is work; an obligation in direct opposition to play, recreation and joy. At Taggart Tutors, we know that the learning process can, should be, and is fun! Children are born with brains ready to learn and absorb - but they need the right environment for learning to be engaging, accessible, and joyful. Just look at one of our Prep learners this week, learning and having the best time in holidays! We still have spots available for the holidays next week, so if you'd like to see a smile this big on your child's face, contact us on any of the below: - Call us on 07 3356 1177 - Email us on [email protected] - Check out our website www.taggarttutors.com.au Happy learning!

16.01.2022 Look out everyone... it's Tutor Tuesday and this week's post goes to Brock! Arguably the biggest personality on the Taggart Tutors team, Brock is a master at building positive and constructive relationships with students who are undertaking our Computer-Based Tuition. Brock joined John's team as a professional tutor in 2018. He holds a workplace Cert III in Early Childhood Education, and is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Education (Secondary). Taggart Tutors simply would not be the same without Brock. We are very lucky to have him (even if he did make us re-take this picture 45 times!).

14.01.2022 Some concepts take more than two minutes to describe - this one took Barney two-and-a-half - and it barely scratches the surface! This week you'll learn about 'Authorial Intention'. This is a vital concept for High School students undertaking textual analysis. If you have a question or concept that should become a Two Minute Tute, let us know in the comments. Of course, if you're interested in strengthening your skills with textual analysis, we'd love to hear from you through our website - www.TaggartTutors.com.au

12.01.2022 Barney's back and well and truly out of his comfort zone with a Two Minute Tute on Fractions! At least now he can say that 1 out of every 10 Two Minute Tutes covers a maths concept, right? If you or someone you know would like to learn more about fractions - from one of our specialist Maths tutors, promise! - or any maths concept for that matter, make sure you get in touch via our website! www.taggarttutors.com.au Till then, happy learning!

09.01.2022 Tutor Tuesday is back! This week, we're proud to turn the spotlight to Nick!

07.01.2022 Simon Sinek says: "Children aren't born self-confident. Their confidence is built from their parents, friends and teachers. It’s not some deep internal fortitude. A world-famous trapeze artist is not gonna try a brand new death-defying act for the first time without a net." At Taggart Tutors, we want to be the net. We want to support your child to discover their potential. ... That's why these school holidays, we're offering Drama, Communication & Confidence-Building workshops which support learners to develop confidence through performance skills, collaboration, and public speaking. All of these are crucial for their schooling and holistically support our well-rounded leaders of tomorrow. To book your child's spot (they're limited!) or for more information: Call us on 07 3356 1177 Email us on [email protected] Check out our website www.taggarttutors.com.au

04.01.2022 The tricky thing about Term Four is that learners are introduced to a lot of content that goes unconsolidated and lost throughout the school holidays - leading to a challenging transition to a new expectation next year! To tackle exactly this, Taggart Tutors keeps its doors open during the holidays, bringing learning to people at all ages and stages and cementing their skills and knowledge into the following year. If you think you or a student you know would benefit from Holiday Tuition, get in touch via our website and keep your eyes peeled for more information about our ever-expanding Holiday Program!
