AFTER three decades tutoring students in Shepparton, Mark and Lindy Carnovale are retiring. The couple has been instrumental in providing valuable educational assistance to young learners, building strong relationships with both students and their parents.
“Operating and teaching in the Centre has provided enormous satisfaction knowing we have made a positive contribution to so many students,” said Mark, adding, “We will miss the close and meaningful relationships we have made with parents and students.”
Shepparton Tutoring Centre now has a new owner, Daniel Hall, who was hired as a tutor last year. Daniel has over 20 years of teaching experience, teaching at local schools and at Geelong’s Timbertop campus. He has a degree in science and has completed postgraduate studies in outdoor education, secondary education, and inclusive learning. He has also been a coordinator for various educational programs, perhaps most significantly, as a learning support coordinator.
“The most recent study I completed was on the Science of Reading, and it was wonderful to read the research on learning to read at the same time as my daughter, Willow, was embarking on her learning to read journey,” he said.
Daniel is excited to take the reins of the Shepparton Tutoring Centre and is eager to continue the work done by Mark and Lindy. He believes tutoring provides students with hope and raises their self-esteem, giving young people strategies to optimise study, and enhance their overall confidence in school.
Shepparton Tutoring Centre provides tutoring for students from Prep to Year 12 in Reading, English, Maths, and Science. For teachers interested in becoming a tutor, contact Daniel on 5831 2527. The Centre offers free assessment for students. Visit their website for more information: www.sheppartontutoring.com.au
