ABOUT ME
My name is Stefanie Frizza, and I am proud to launch Positive Edge Academy.
I am a passionate, motivated and qualified secondary teacher, accredited to teach in the Northern Territory and NSW. I recently completed a Bachelor of Education (Secondary: Humanities and Social Sciences) with First Class Education Honours from the University of Sydney. My majors include Modern History, and I have minors in Geography and Ancient History. I have had years of successful tutoring experience in Sydney, NSW (both in a tutoring agency and as a private tutor) with students from years 7 - 12 in a range of subjects including english, mathematics, legal studies, geography and history. In my year 12 HSC I was awarded school dux, with an ATAR of 97.0, receiving a band 6 in most of my subjects. Education is my greatest passion in life, and I hope to extend this into new territory.
The positive difference:
-
Personalised Learning
As a Darwin based tutoring agency, I seek to enrich the academic development of all students through focused, personalised learning experiences. I will provide your child with the 'positive edge' through delivering individualised learning content, outcomes and experiences that is guaranteed to improve self confidence, and boost academic progress.
2. Personal goals
As a teacher I recognise the importance of setting personal goals that are both achievable AND challenging for each individual student. Each student has strengths and areas for improvement. With Positive Edge Academy, I offer the 'positive edge' by working with you and your child to create these personal learning goals, which is shown in evidence-based research to enhance results.
3. Feedback
Educational research supports that feedback contributes the most positively towards academic improvement. As a tutor and teacher I have found that immediate and detailed feedback is an essential component towards achieving academic success.
4. A Supportive Learning Environment
Positive Edge Academy offers a supportive learning environment conducive to learning. Forming a great relationship with my students is extremely important to me as an educator, and at Postive Edge Academy I seek to build trust and respect with all my students so they may reach their personal learning goals.
