About Me
I have been a teacher for the past 6.5 years, teaching grades 2, 3 and 5. Prior to this I was an integration aide working with students who had a range of abilities and needs such as ADHD, ADD, ODD, ASD, intellectual abilities, dyslexia and dyspraxia just to name a few. This year I am starting my own tutoring business, Grow and Glow Tutoring, to support children in learning skills that they can apply to their everyday lives and feel confident in their abilities.
Grow and Glow Tutoring
Grow and Glow Tutoring is committed to nurturing a love for learning and helping students reach their 'ah ha!' moments where the world around them starts to click.
We aim to embed foundational skills within real life experiences to ensure children are learning concepts that they can apply in their everyday lives, rather than in isolation. Students are encouraged to make mistakes and view these moments as learning opportunities.
Grow and Glow Tutoring presents rich, stimulating and challenging learning opportunities where students feel inspired to learn. The learning environment is nurturing, supportive and inclusive as strong relationships are created with each student. We value students’ diversity and cater to individual needs, different learning styles and various abilities.
Tutoring sessions can be arranged as 1:1 or in small groups, depending on what you would prefer.
Why Grow and Glow Tutoring?
I'd love to connect with you to help support your learner/s on the journey ahead so please reach out.

My son struggles with being taught. He learns when something is relevant and engaging. Shahnee has a special way of connecting with him and planning topics that engage and interest him. She challenges him to find the connections in text to discover grammar rules or explore language and find the roots of words. I was worried that we wouldn’t find anyone who could help learn the mundane stuff without getting frustrated and bored. But Shahnee has done an absolutely amazing job. We couldn’t be more pleased. Highly recommend her.

Shahnee has really been wonderful with her approach in tutoring my kids who have struggled with maths and English at school. Kids really feel comfortable with her and feel that they are understanding better with her methods of teaching, and I am getting great feedback from their school teachers.

Shahnee has been the kind and nurturing teacher my daughter has needed. She challenges her throughout her lessons, has built strong rapport and trust, and understands how my daughter learns. Shahnee provides detailed lessons and feedback, and has a great knowledge around the gaps or the areas for extension that my daughter requires.

We wanted to provide our 6-year-old daughter with additional support with her reading following the last few years of disruption at school. I realised that the amount of attention given at school isn't sufficient to give my daughter a good foundation for reading during these critical years. Shahnee was precisely what we were looking for and my daughter enjoys the weekly lessons so much that it's accelerated her reading capability quite quickly. My daughter's love for reading has really flourished and we are very fortunate to have found the right fit for her. Following our sessions, we receive a lesson summary of what was covered and recommendations if needed, this helps us keep track of progress and allows us to check in during the week on any new words or sounds.

Shahnee definitely knows her work. She helped set up my applications for my daughters with just a few things i wrote to her about them. She was very helpful with all my questions and was very patient with me. I highly recommend her.

My son has been working with Shahnee since the beginning of Term 4 when I decided to start homeschooling full-time. Shahnee has been amazing with my son, quickly creating a wonderful teacher-student report but importantly having my son catchup on parts of his english and maths that he was behind in due to all the online learning from lockdowns. Shahnee has worked with my son face-to-face and online and both have been really good. I highly recommend Shahnee and will continue to have her as my son's teacher and supporting me with homeschooling for 2022.
