To maintain transparent communication: We believe in keeping parents fully informed of their child’s development. This includes providing session summaries, tracking homework and goals, and offering a dedicated communication channel.
Where it all began
Propel began on an A3 piece of paper on the back verandah of an old Queenslander in Bardon. Working as private tutors for the last 2 years since finishing the Sisyphian journey of high school, we both well and truly understood the frustrations of the schooling system.
And we wanted to do something about it.
Around 1 in 3 students across Australia are below or at risk of falling below proficiency in literacy and numeracy. Not because of their lack of trying, but because the current schooling system just can’t cater to such a diverse range of student learning styles.
This is the essence behind how Propel was born.
We wanted to provide students and their families with education support they can trust that will meet all of their children’s needs. Our tutors are passionate about learning and teaching, and are experts in finding the best learning approach for your child. Beyond this, Propel strives to help students not only succeed academically but also learn how to learn and thrive in ever-changing, complex environments, both within and beyond their schooling journey.
In doing so, Propel offers a range of resources aimed at helping students become independent, efficient learners. Our tutors are also trained to help students discover what methods of study and organisation are most effective and motivating for them.
At Propel Tutoring, our mission is to provide the most comprehensive, organised, and effective tutoring experience in Queensland. We believe in unlocking every student's potential by offering a structured, personalised approach that not only improves grades but also builds confidence in learning.
Our goals :
To offer individualised support: Every student learns differently, and our tailored tutoring methods address unique needs, ensuring consistent progress and improvement.
To make educational support accessible: We offer a variety of tutoring options, including one-on-one sessions and group learning experiences, designed to fit different budgets and learning styles. Our flexible plans ensure that students from all backgrounds can receive the help they need to succeed.
To foster long-term academic success: Through goal-setting and progress monitoring, we ensure that students aren’t just getting by – they’re excelling, with structured plans that lead to real, measurable results.
