Excited to announce the DW Tutoring website!

As a disabled educator, I provide personalised support for neurodiverse students.

With school returning next week, now is the ideal time to schedule a free assessment for your child’s needs.

Visit https://www.dwtutoring.com.au to discover how my tutoring and research services fuse academic rigour with creative strategies.

Please share this so that families can benefit from my approach.

My Ethics class this semester has a neat flow to it…

After each week's readings, we write five short answers to philosophical questions related to that week's topic. We are then required to share one of our answers each week and discuss it with other students. Cool.

We do this for 13 weeks, mix in a few short papers, and then have a final…. which is basically just a random selection of the short answers from the semester.

I love it :) #Academics #BackToSchool

"The Cafeteria as Classroom" via Solutions Journalism Network

Public schools feed a lot of kids. The problem? Nearly 40 percent of that food gets tossed in the trash. Fortunately, there are smart solutions — coming straight from the students.

Hey Canadian Academic folks!

I’m looking to hire a tutor to help me next semester in my Statistics course and, depending on how that goes, possibly for my ethics class.

Do you know anyone who could help? Preferably, they are listed online for their services so that I can get accessibility funding to help cover my tutoring costs.

Please drop me a DM if you can help!

The #Masked among us need to crank up the peer pressure.

"You're not afraid of a #MASK are you?"

"Masks are cool. Sick for the unforeseeable future BECAUSE you refused to mask? Not so much."

"The "man", the govt, your opposing party WANTS you not to mask. You're just going to blindly follow along?"

Feel free to add more (without offending please)

And here we go...

"WIPE EVERYTHING DOWN!!"

FFS will someone please educate these educators with the hard cold facts??

#Covid is #InTheAir #CovidIsAirborne
It's not very transmissible on surfaces.

It's super transmissible #ThroughTheAir

#CorsiRosenthal boxes in EVERY CLASSROOM and #MaskUP with #N95 or go home.

Show them how to make it fit well.

Peer pressure TO MASK

Save our future please.

In my area, students started their new school year this week.

(It's not even halfway through August!)

I remember starting the school year in September, which left enough of the year for two 16-week semesters, 8 weeks for summer school, and still time to take August off with the family, like civilized nations do.
