MEET JEANETTE

 

What makes a great teacher? Do you remember any of your teachers fondly? I do. My maths and chemistry teachers. I loved them both and they made me love learning.

 

I was spellbound and I would do anything to please them. Praise after a great exam result was gold. Learning from them was a joy.

 

My journey has been great fun. I am a mother of five beautiful children now with families and we are all very close. I like to think I was influential in their quest for knowledge, they are all smart successful adults who like learning. When they were young I wanted to be with them so I became a tutor, I had the best of both careers mother during the day and teacher in the evenings.

My life took an extraordinary turn when they were all at school. I wanted to learn more so I went back to university to study for a PhD in chemistry. At Sydney University I discovered the sheer joy of teaching “performing” to a large audience. I discovered talents I never knew I had, I was also in great demand to help students as I had a teaching background, I found I could explain at all levels and my students “got it”.

 

I would like to help students and teachers discover they can love to learn even the most difficult of topics. To feel the need to understand and know how to get there. Studying can be enjoyable if it is done the right way and there is nothing as reassuring as having another person to answer the hard questions. Soon every question will be a pleasurable challenge.

This is how I teach let’s find the hardest question and tackle it together. I can show you how to learn and enjoy the journey. I have helped hundreds of students for more than 35 years and now teach many of their children. I have work colleagues who fell in love with chemistry because of being in one of my classes. I love the first few lessons discovering each new personality and how I can connect with them. Everyone’s journey is unique, I can usually figure out pretty quickly where they are struggling. I like to help every student find their potential and learn to work with their strengths.

 

Come and Learn with me.

Thank you so much for tutoring me and all your support. I would have never survived HSC without you. I will miss our sessions and hopefully you’ll be able to teach me Physics next if all goes well!

MARGOT
Hello Jeanette I attended your presentation on Friday and it was great! Thank you! I am writing to see whether you could share your power point and the practice questions, as mentioned in the presentation. It would be very useful for teaching my final year secondary science education students at MQU. Thank you again.
JAYA
I actually LOVED being in your class on Friday! It was so cool to sit there and learn instead of teach.
Dear Jeanette I had such a great time at the STANSW chemistry Conference I actually LOVED being in your class on Friday! It was so cool to sit there and learn instead of teach.

Jeanette can easily switch between maths, chemistry and physics in the same tutorial.
Hey I just got 100% in my last chemistry exam. Jeanette can easily switch between maths, chemistry and physics in the same tutorial. We work on any problems I have in that week.
