G'day everyone, my name is Donna (Sensei) I'd love to help you with your studies... My teaching Studio is in Coffs Harbour, northern New South Wales, and I do online sessions via the Zoom Zoom classroom.. Bottom line first; my passion is to assist anyone, who's studying anything at any level, with any level of ability, so please don't hesitate to contact me, if you think I can assist. OR call me babe.. directly on (0493) 082 317 and we can have a chat!!

Meanwhile, Ginnagay, Hola and Konnichiwa, minnasan genki..? bilingual, multi-strand tutor with experience in more than 50 subjects now;

..Take a breath.. how's it going? ..stressed or anxious about your child's studies? Or even your own? NO worries.. I'm here to help.. People keep asking me to help them with their studies, so over the past 33 years, I have helped 100's of students from Primary age to high school, TAFE, Uni, Masters and PHD students.

heads up, I also really enjoy assisting students with ESOL, learning difficulties, home schooling & special education for Irlen's Syndrome, Dyslexia, Autism Spectrum, etc.

I am very comfortable with children & adult learners as an allied health specialist educator and have developed many groovy learning strategies for students affected by mental health issues such ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, etc. �.. As a registered composer and lyricist with APRA, I have written, performed & recorded some silly songs on 2x independent cd's.... My students and I have had great success when using music, art and second languages as alternate learning strategies.

My own studies include a Rotary International Scholarship with Akita Minami Highschool, Japan, a BA Degree in International Relations (majors Japanese Language and Culture), as well as nine other VET certificates. Checkout the listing below for all the details on subjects, qualifications and my personal studies, if that interests you..

thanks for reading this, if you made it this far. I am pleased to meet you.. yoroshiku, ne.. and let the fun and games begin!!
