Academic Mentoring
Supporting our students on their academic journey.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Academic Mentoring vs Online Tutoring
People often ask, ‘why academic mentoring and not just tutoring?’. The difference is simple. Tutoring can sometimes be seen as a quick fix or last resort when exams are around the corner. But our specialised Creating Students Academic Mentor Program empowers our students with the study skills and learning techniques to enable them to be better performers long term.
OUR METHOD
How Does Academic Mentoring Work?
Our Creating Students Programs are tailored to our student's individual needs, giving them the tools to be lifelong learners.
More than online tutoring, we take a holistic approach that recognises each student's motivation and well-being as we journey with them, helping them stay on track and achieve results.
We aim to build a skill set they can take with them for the rest of their life and to be confident learners.
Who are Our Academic Mentors
Creating Student's Academic Mentors have achieved high results and academic success and bring a wealth of knowledge about their core subjects. Guiding your child through their study or exam preparation, our mentors work one-on-one with their students throughout the Creating Students Program, a proven method developed by leading educators.
What Our Academic Mentor Programs Offer Students
1. ONGOING SUPPORT
Our Academic Mentors support their students through their primary or senior school journey and offer students confidence, an extra level of care, and someone who can encourage them to feel resilient, capable and equipped for their studies and exams.
2. PLANNING & ACCOUNTABILITY
Encouraging and teaching effective time management, organisational skills and study strategies helps each student be accountable for their progress. Senior school can be stressful and having a plan is key to success and managing curriculum workload.
3. REAL-WORLD INSIGHT
Our Academic Mentors specialise in the current senior school assessment criteria and ATAR system with real-world knowledge and experience. They have relevant and up-to-date knowledge of subjects having recently graduated themselves.
ABOUT CREATING STUDENTS
Embedding the Science of Learning into our Students.
We believe everyone can learn the skills needed to become a better student whether they are transitioning to high school or preparing for senior assessment.
Through our Academic Mentoring Program, we teach students effective study practices to help them accelerate their performance through consistent and habitual practice.
Our vision is to embed those foundational skills into our students, making each of them the best student they can be for today and their future.
Our Founders
Julie Quinn
BSc. DipEd. MEd(LShip). FACEL
Julie Quinn’s passion is seeing young Australians develop to be capable, equipped, confident learners and ultimately contributors to our society.
She has spent her entire career mentoring and guiding students to excel at their studies, to be the best they possibly can be, so that they are provided with as many life options as possible. Julie believes that the skills developed by students whilst at school lay the foundations by which they can achieve success in later life, whatever that path may be.
Rob Quinn
MSc (Management), University of London; B.Com, University of Qld; GAICD
Rob is driven by supporting business and community leaders to be their best. He recognises that the skills that have advanced one's business career are not always the skills required to continue its trajectory and that throughout life, new learnings and skills must be developed.
Leadership skills are not necessarily innate; they can be taught, understood and embedded, as can the skills of outstanding scholarship. Rob has joined his sister-in-law, Julie Quinn, in founding Creating Students.
