Testimonials

“For three years, Justin provided my son with a calm, inclusive, supportive and non judgmental learning environment and worked to the ability and speed at which he learnt. Justin was proactive in working with both the teachers and myself to understand what was being taught in class to then give informed support in his lessons. My son always enjoyed his sessions with Justin and because they were delivered in a casual, fun and un-school like approach, he never felt the work was a chore. I’m very thankful for Justin’s support and don’t think we’d have gotten through primary school without him. “

“Justin has been tutoring my twins on a weekly basis for the last 8 years, through their primary and currently senior years of education.  My daughters have very different learning requirements – one having profound dyslexia and dyscalculia.  Hope Tutoring has been able to provide both of my children with specialised approches which compliments both of their learning styles. 

Justin successfully uses a variety of visual resources to break down their work into more manageable, easy to understand concepts.  Anyone who has a child with learning difficulties understands just how overhwleming some days at school can be, and I can’t thank Justin enough for also addressing their emotional needs. 

I have witnessed my children’s confidence and resilience develop and improve dramatically over the years.  More recently, Justin has been helping one of my daughters navigate her senior schooling via distance education as he also provides services in this area.  I couldn’t imagine undertaking these educational journeys without his support.”

“We have been attending Hope Tutoring with Justin on a weekly basis for my son, who struggles with learning at school. It was identified that he has dyscalculia (maths dyslexia), which is part of his neuro-divergence.

After our initial meeting we knew that we had found our tutor as Justin’s knowledge around these learning difficulties and his tailored approach to identifying and addressing the gaps. He built rapport and broke down the anxiety around learning, incorporating hands on learning with strategies/techniques around problem solving.

His calmness and patience encouraged our son to engage in learning using the strategies taught. I would highly recommend Hope Tutoring if you want your child to learn different approaches to problem solving, reducing anxiety and building confidence and resilience.”

My ASD son has been seeing Justin for tutoring for the last six years. Justin is very talented at identifying knowledge gaps and then adapting each session to match.  He also has a heap of strategies to make the sessions fun and engaging even on the most difficult of days.  Justin’s tutoring has also provided my son with skills he uses to tackle difficult learning tasks without anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. I wish every kid who has faced challenges in learning had Justin – and I have no hesitation in recommending him as a tutor.

For any child that struggles with organising, planning and executive function abilities associated with daily living; Justin is a God send.  My neurodiverse daughter had been seeing Justin close to 10 years and has been instrumental in her achieving her life’s goals.  I highly recommend Justin for those who want to achieve but think outside the box.

Hope is what we most search for through our lives.

We found HOPE with Justin Clark after many years of struggle and disappointment due to dyslexia and dysgraphia and ASD.

Within a few months, Justin turned our son’s life around by giving him the gift of self-esteem and good academic results. It is amazing to watch this change from week to week. A beautiful experience…

We wish every school had a Justin Clark for our children that face learning difficulties and that ALL teachers received input from educators like Justin to further understand their students.

Thank you Justin.

Justin is a very gifted tutor who shows great empathy and understanding of the often overwhelming learning challenges faced by his students. He has the unique ability of quickly developing a warm, caring and supportive tutoring relationship that inspires, trust, optimal engagement and hope.

Justin’s sensitivity and patience allows students to learn in a way that they feel understood, safe, supported and encouraged. Each session enables students to learn in a way that best caters to their individual needs, abilities, learning styles, strengths and interests. Justin ensures each session is fun, challenging and flexible, offering helpful strategies and opportunities to experience success whilst promoting self-confidence and self-esteem.

Justin has the rare gift of bringing out the very best in his students. He is able to facilitate a supportive learning environment that gives each student the time that they need without feeling pressure, feeling rushed or feeling a sense of failure.

Justin perceptively tailors the flow of each session to ensure optimal engagement and concentration, intuitively sensing when the student is reaching their “learning limits” threshold and losing focus. At this point he encourages them to persist further, celebrates in their accomplishments and then renews the learner’s enthusiasm with another learning experience option that they are often empowered to exercise choice in selecting.

Justin’s positive reinforcement of student’s achievements in each visit promotes the learner’s positive view of themselves and their abilities. Through his supportive nurturing of student’s self-belief, Justin helps his students to face future learning challenges with courage, self-confidence and resilience.

My daughter and I both greatly enjoy each tutoring session and appreciate everything that Justin has and continues to teach us both.

Justin tutored me for 2 years and in that time I learned lots more then I did at school. Since it was just me and my brother the work was concentrated towards us so we were always given help when needed and were never left behind. We were allowed to learn what we wanted to learn the way we wanted to, which made understanding far easier.

An example of something Justin helped me with is geography. Before I didn’t like geography I thought it was mundane and boring.  However, when Justin allowed me to pick what countries I wanted to learn about, I chose to pick Asian and European countries which have a deep history which fascinated me.

We have had many different tutors over the years working with our family, but no one like Justin before. Justin has a very special gift. He realises each child, (with or without additional needs) is unique. He invests the time and specific individual lesson approach with the patience and respect each student deserves to help them blossom into reaching their full potential.

Our son has ASD and has really struggled with a lot of the English Curriculum requirements. Justin tapped into our son’s interests and strengths. He has built a strong foundation of trust between them and worked on our son’s self confidence to then stretch him into doing tasks that would have been too much in the past.

Our son is now writing a book in his spare time, completing comprehension tasks, as well as doing spelling and dictation activities without the fear or anxiety he used to. In all the time we have been visiting Justin, not once has our son tried to skip out of a session. WHAT?! – Yes, it’s true. In fact our son looks forward to going! (I never thought I would be saying that in relation to lessons and education). We feel very lucky and grateful to have found Justin. We have recommended him to other families who have also had great results.

He truly cares.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Justin for his attitude, patience and mentoring that he offered our son during his High School Years.

Max improved from being a struggling English student to achieving excellent results in his High School Certificate and OP Scores. Justin took the time to connect with Max in areas that interested him which in turn encouraged consequential discussions about language and literature.

Justin developed much more than a teacher – student relationship, they were friends. His efforts in teaching across the board in English and not just the task at hand also had positive influence on all other subjects with writing tasks.

We have no hesitation to recommend Justin to other students.
