HOW DOES IT WORK?
What is Academic Mentoring?
An online Academic Mentor is much more than an online tutor. Our Mentors have achieved high results and success in their focus subjects. They work closely with our students throughout their program and develop a study plan unique to them, their subject selection, their goals and their strengths and weaknesses.
Together, our Academic Mentors and students set goals and develop strategies to achieve results. Having an Academic Mentor provides support and guidance to our students above and beyond subject content – our Creating Students Program embeds the science of learning into their everyday routine.
Our Academic Mentors create a sense of accountability for students, enabling them to plan to succeed.
LEARNING FOR LIFE
Our Programs, Designed for Student Success
Our Founder, Julie Quinn, has captured her teaching methodologies, processes and habits into a streamlined learning system, which she now shares with as many students as possible through our trained and qualified Academic Mentors. Our programs are term-based and tailored to meet the student's specific needs and goals.
Each online session follows a clear template developed by Julie for the Academic Mentor and a Student to journey, capturing key actions and commitments to accelerate their performance weekly.
We also offer specialty programs for students undertaking the ATAR system and a Primary School Program for those transitioning into high school.
Step 1: Understanding the Student
Firstly, every student is different.
To support them, we need to understand them. We learn about their subjects, areas of focus, goals, and interests through information sharing.
Step 2: Mentor Pairing
Finding an Academic Mentor who not only specialises in the subjects required but also can build a rapport with their student is paramount to the success of our Creating Students Program.
We consider these factors when personally aligning students with their Academic Mentor.
Step 3: Weekly Online Sessions
Each week the Academic Mentor and student engage online for a session where they spend time developing positive learning habits and working on subject-specific tasks.
Our Creating Students trained Academic Mentors to bring their hands-on experience in content and the approach needed to succeed.
OUR DIFFERENCE
Why Choose an Academic Mentor Instead of Extra Tuition?
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.
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.
