Flourish Tuition offers tutoring lessons online or in person, Prep to Year 12, in most subjects, Engish as a Second or Another Language (E.S.L., E.A.L.), or I.E.L.T.S. My name is Lynn Houtaha, happily-married, 44 year old, Aussie female with experience teaching in State and Public schools from Central Queensland up to the Far North Qld., down to the South East Qld. I currently live in my hometown,
Rockhampton, Qld. I started tutoring for other private businesses while studying Education in Uni. I later helped ATSI Youth in various church ministries and taught Numeracy & Literacy under the Department of Education, Science and Training under the Aboriginal (and Torres Strait Islander) Tutorial Assistance Scheme tutoring A.T.S.I. with primary and high school students. I loved it. So I started my own business around 1997, registered for an ABN later. In 2011, I began E.S.L. teaching conversational English to whole classes Korean (online) and Japanese Elementary and High School students (in person AU) for private companies and voluntary through churches to refugees & migrants in Australia. It is delightful to still keep in touch with a few students through Facebook and email (some are overseas). If you know of someone who needs encouragement and practical tuition then give them my email address to directly contact me: [email protected] or send me a Facebook message. Strictly for booking enquiries only no spam. SUBJECTS:
