BUILDING LIFELONG LEARNERS
After spending many years observing students in classrooms and investigating the literacy programs available, I have found one that is by far the most comprehensive and effective in terms of outcomes. It is a research-based, scientifically proven method.

What makes Coffs Coast Tutoring Effective?
Our tutors have proficient accreditation with NESA in NSW. Our lessons are:
- Personalised– Each lesson is designed and paced to meet individual needs.
- Diagnostic – Information gained in each session is used to monitor student progress.
- Explicit – Teaching is direct. Every new skill is modelled, i.e., explained and demonstrated. We explain the purpose and application of each new task.
- Interactive – Student’s knowledge is applied and articulated for understanding. Embedding knowledge in long term memory is a primary goal.
- Multi-sensory – All senses are engaged: students see it, hear it, say it and write it.
- Sequential – Romalda B. Spalding learned from Dr. Orton to divide each task into its component parts, teach them sequentially, and talk about each part.
- Integrated– The connection between speaking, writing, and reading are taught and reinforced.
WHAT PARENTS SAY
In observation, I was aware of Nina's knowledge of content as well as adjustments made by her, using the feedback gained in open questioning or evaluation after each task.

Nina passed on to other teachers her knowledge, particularly in the area of literacy, which helped the pedagogies of the other teachers with whom she worked.

My daughter is always keen to come and her reading has improved markedly after the first seven sessions.
Brit
We have had a very positive experience with Nina tutoring our daughter. She is very thorough, clear and precise with her explanations around phonics within her teaching methods. Our daughter has progressed forward with great enthusiasm and determination from working with Nina due to her positive reinforcement and encouragement.
Sarah
Nina has helped not only Thomas’s academic ability but more importantly his confidence. Nina’s empathic style of teaching has engaged with Thomas’s interests making the lessons enjoyable and memorable. We have noticed at home, and the school has definitely noticed, he is now enjoying creative writing and is keen to read for his own enjoyment. This is a huge boost.

Hello! I'm Nina.
My intention is to promote a learning environment with high expectations, where laughter can be freely had, and confidence can be freely attained.
I specialise in helping children who need extra time, patience, care and attention for learning - and firm foundations. My students benefit from having the codes and patterns of language broken down and made transparent, then built up gradually and consistently.
