A MESSAGE FROM BENNETT, FOUNDER OF KIRRIBILLI TUTOR

“As an ex-engineer, I was very process driven with my teaching methods, while my experience at tutoring companies taught me about how to teach big classes to achieve result benchmarks for the students. This led to me thinking about how I could help more students develop a growth mindset to love learning and stay curious. With guidance, support and the right mentors, everyone can improve their learning process and succeed in any endeavour”

Our Values

Empathy

We begin by presuming the goodwill of others. We seek first to hear, not tell. To empathise, not criticise. To know before we do. Placing ourselves in the shoes of the student to show empathy.

Inspiration

We seek to inspire our students to reach their fullest academic potential. We motivate and encourage our students to take learning risks and become actively engaged in the learning process. As tutors we can inspire our students.

Curiosity

We demonstrate the power of knowledge by learning. We're interested and inquisitive, looking beyond what is to what could be. As tutors we can empower our students by sparking their curiosity.

Growth

We promote growth in our clients, team members, and company to maximise our positive impact on the community with a growth mindset. We strive to grow a community of like-minded team members who are always learning.

Responsibility

We're accountable for all that we do. We step up and seek responsibility and reliability to own our work and earn our results. Each of us can take credit for the achievements we make as a team.

Belief

It is our belief that all students can learn. Our tutors are rooted in that belief and our personalised tutoring programs are designed with that in mind. We teach students to believe in unleashing their true academic potential.
