About Bridget

Please check out my tutoring website Holistic Tutoring.
After completing a BA(Hons) and practical teaching placement in New Zealand, Bridget Simes moved to Sydney in 2010 to train with Jim Hooson of Learning Creations, which was formed to holistically assist children, teenagers and adults experiencing difficulties with all aspects of learning, attention and behaviour, including dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADD, ADHD, dyscalculia, giftedness, twice exceptional abilities, selective mutism, Aspergers and autism. She was mentored by Jim and his close network of kinesiologists, behavioural optometrists, breathing specialists, as well as published New York author Laurie Spigel. During this time she also studied with the North American Montessori Centre (Infant/Toddler) and ran small baby stretching/activity classes.

Bridget soon began running her own holistic assessments and 5 day programs with children and adults, as well as independent consulting, teaching Special Education teachers the Learning Creations activities, and training tutors. She found her greatest enjoyment in full-time tutoring and homeschooling work with dyslexic and gifted children and teenagers.

Bridget now provides holistic assessments, a written report, recommendations and follow up tutoring or activity programs

About the lesson

I either provide personalised tutoring programs to students, but alternatively also assist with schoolwork/homework in a range of subjects including English, Maths, French, German, HSIE, History, music (piano), including techniques to overcome learning or developmental difficulties and increase students' confidence. I am available face to face (Sydney Eastern Suburbs) or online. NB Face to face is generally preferred until a rapport has been built however online is possible if student cannot travel.

Each program includes some or all of the following:
- relaxation and focusing techniques
- movement activities
- sequencing
- auditory development
- visualisation and visual memory skills that are applied to the symbols and processes of literacy and numeracy
- clearing confusion with non-picture words such as: and, if, but, to, the, is, are, of, which, what, where, would
- specific visual spelling skills
- development of comfortable pencil grip and handwriting skills
- cultivation of confident story writing skills
- mind mapping techniques to assist with writing assignments and developing organisational skills
- exploring the meanings of words that assist the client in making meaning of life: change, consequence, control, choice, cooperation, consideration, sequence, time, motivation, responsibility
