What to Expect During Your First Session with Ms Mantova as Your Tutor

Ms. Mantova from Creative Education Australia offers a warm online tutoring experience, joined by her friendly dog and cat companions.

Beginning tutoring is a significant step for students and their families. Whether your child needs a boost in confidence, some extra assistance, or is ready to advance their learning, understanding what to expect can ease the transition.

At Creative Education Australia, our initial session focuses on building trust, understanding your child’s learning needs, and setting them up for success. Here’s what to anticipate when you schedule your first session with Ms Mantova.

A Warm Welcome – Without Pressure

We understand that every child has a unique story — and may have some learning anxiety, especially if past experiences weren’t positive.

That’s why the first session begins with a calm, friendly conversation to:

• Learn about your child’s interests, strengths, and challenges

• Discover their preferred learning style (visual, verbal, hands-on, etc.)

• Understand any formal diagnoses or feedback from school

• Introduce them to the session with no pressure to perform

We proceed slowly and steadily — no testing, no judgment, just connection and understanding.

Tailored Tutoring Support from the Start

Once your child feels at ease, we introduce gentle activities related to the subject focus (e.g., reading, maths, writing, HASS). This allows us to assess their current skill level in a relaxed, supportive manner.

Examples might include:

• Reading a short passage together

• Solving a few maths problems using visual aids

• Completing a simple written task or using spelling cards

• Reviewing previous schoolwork (if available)

This provides Ms Mantova with valuable insight into your child’s current level — and how to tailor future sessions to their needs.

Clear Goals & Next Steps

At the end of the session, we take a few moments to reflect on:

• What went well

• What challenges arose

• Which areas require the most focus

• The goals we’ll work toward together

We’ll also discuss how you can support your child at home — with optional tips or light homework if suitable.

Open Communication with Parents

After the session, parents or carers will receive a verbal or written summary of what was covered, including:

• Observed strengths

• Suggested focus areas

• Any follow-up notes or resources

• An outline of what to expect in future sessions

We believe parent partnership is key — and you're always welcome to ask questions, provide insights, or adjust your child’s goals with us along the way.

Customised Learning, Every Time

No two tutoring sessions are the same. Whether your child requires:

• Literacy & numeracy support (Prep–Year 9)

• Subject tutoring in History, Geography, Civics (Years 10–12+)

• ESL support or assistance with learning difficulties

• Calm, confidence-building guidance for neurodiverse learners

Every session is tailored to suit your child’s pace, personality, and potential.
