Description
Joshua Swain is a pre service teacher and an experienced education support professional offering one‑to‑one in‑home tutoring in Numeracy, Literacy and HaSS for students in Years 3–6, Literacy and Numeracy in years 7-9 as well as support in Media Arts and academic writing in the senior years. Based on Brisbane’s northside, Josh provides calm, step‑by‑step support aligned with the Australian Curriculum, helping students unpack tricky topics, understand teacher expectations and build real confidence in their schoolwork. Josh brings more than ten years of classroom support experience and a Mathematics specialisation (Prep–Year 9), with a particular strength in making abstract ideas feel concrete and understandable.
Sessions with Lilypad Lane follow a predictable structure, with a short check‑in, focused learning time and a brief wrap‑up so students and parents know exactly what was achieved and what comes next. Josh is comfortable supporting anxious or reluctant learners, breaking tasks into manageable steps, and weaving in digital tools and media‑rich activities when they help a concept “click.” He works in shared family spaces with a strong focus on child safety, clear communication and practical study habits that students can carry back into the classroom.
- Qualified education support professional with Certificate III/IV in Education Support and a Bachelor of Education (Mathematics specialisation), in progress).
- Curriculum‑aligned support that focused on deep understanding, rather than duplicating classroom teaching.
- Member of the Australian Tutoring Association, with a current Blue Card, First Aid and CPR.
- Able to assist with planning and polishing written assignments, including essays, reports and multimodal tasks.
- Comfortable supporting media‑rich projects (presentations, basic video or photography tasks) where this is part of school assessment.
- Strong child‑safety focus: in‑home sessions only in shared spaces, with a parent or carer present.
- Continually working in classrooms, keeping teaching practices and curriculum knowledge up to date.
Service Areas: Brisbane Inner North-West
I currently offer in‑home learning support in Brisbane’s inner north‑west, with a focus on families within a short drive of Everton Park and Enoggera. I’m presently servicing the following suburbs:
- Everton Park
- Everton Hills
- Enoggera
- Mitchelton
- Gaythorne
- Keppera
- Alderly
- Stafford
- Stafford Heights
- McDowell
A Little Further:
If you live just outside these suburbs, I may be able to travel further depending on the time of day and how it fits around other bookings. Sessions need to be scheduled so I can reliably get from one home to the next within about 15 minutes, so please get in touch with your location and preferred times and I’ll let you know what’s possible.
Current Availability: Unfortunately I am unable to take on students at this time.
