Tutoring Gets Results!

PROVEN BEST TEACHING PRACTICES… Lindy and Mark Carnovale from Shepparton Tutoring Centre provide professional tuition services for students across the region. Photo: Photo: Alicia Niglia.

THESE past 12 months have been a breath of fresh air for Mark and Lindy Carnovale and their staff, who, after 26 years, have left the constraints of a franchise tutoring system and continued providing professional tuition services for students in their totally independent tutoring centre.

Mark and Lindy have noted that some parents, when inquiring about tutoring, have been concerned that their children would spend most of their time being tutored by a computer. This is definitely not the case in their centre.

Children are tutored, face-to -face, by experienced, dedicated, professional teachers using tried and proven best teaching practices.

Mark said, “Children learn best when the teacher and student work together, building trust, confidence and developing a

positive relationship. The computer may be used as a tool to reinforce skills rather than being used as the main form of learning.”

Mark offers a free, no obligation assessment for primary and secondary students. Tutoring is tailored to fill the gaps and assist with schoolwork and homework.

After 12 months of operating under their new name of Shepparton Tutoring Centre, there may still be some parents and teachers unaware that Mark and Lindy are still offering their trademark, exceptional services. Their centre is located where they have always been, in the Wyndham Mall, Shepparton For further information about the Shepparton Tutoring Centre, or to book an assessment, call Mark on 5831 2527 or visit their website www.sheppartontutoring.com.au

Do you hate nits?

ANYONE who has ever had to deal with trying to rid a child’s hair of nits knows how frustrating and difficult a process it can be. The products available don’t seem to work and getting kids to sit still while you painstakingly comb through every hair on their head? Well, lets just say it takes time and patience! Lice and Easy business owner, Rebecca Watson has worked for 30 years as a hairdresser and knows all of the tricks in the trade to get kids to sit happily while she does the hard work, ridding them of nits.

Rebecca said, “I have everything set up to make it comfortable for the kids and

use tar based shampoo and all organic products. As your child watches the TV, strand by strand using a large magnifying lamp, I get rid of their nits. I teach parents how to treat their children’s hair as well as their partners. I also offer discounts for families and ultimately from the time you get a call to come and pick your child up from school, I can have them treated in an hour and ready to be returned so that parents can head back into work.”

Let Rebecca save you the time, money and hard work of getting rid of nits.

Starting at just $35 for short hair, contact Rebecca at Lice and Easy on 0409 854 569.
