Welcome and thanks for being here!

Hello! My name is Hayley and I am the founder and lead tutor of Transform Tutoring.

I am a qualified and experienced Primary Teacher with over 13 years of teaching experience in both the classroom and as a specialised literacy tutor. I have experience teaching students from Kindergarten to Year 8.  

I am passionate about teaching in a way that is engaging, explicit, relevant and informed by the science of how we learn! In particular, I have a special interest in working with students that are neurodivergent and need explicit instruction & support to help them grow as a learner.

I prioritise creating safe, supportive learning environments where students feel confident taking risks and exploring new ideas. My goal is for students to genuinely enjoy learning, knowing they can rely on the strategies I teach to guide and support their progress.

In my downtime, you will find me reading, painting and cuddling up with my two cats! I’m always on the hunt for my next overseas adventure and have been lucky enough to have lived in two other countries (Japan and Canada). A future goal of mine is to found an NGO that empowers educators to deliver professional development for teachers in under-resourced countries.

“We are incredibly grateful to have Hayley supporting our daughter's learning. Her depth of knowledge, thoughtful approach, and dedication make a real difference. She has gone above and beyond by collaborating with our daughter's school to ensure consistency in learning goals, and the school has been consistently impressed by her efforts.”

“Hayley is a fabulous educator. She has a warm and gentle demeanour that really helped our son feel at ease in his 1-on-1 sessions. As a trained teacher, Hayley was able to assess his spelling and writing skills quickly and effectively develop a plan to maximise the impact of each session. We were always really grateful for her summary of what was covered each week, her thoughts on what was going on for our son, and her recommendations”

~ Jennifer

“Hayley has been a great tutor for my Kindy kid. My daughter is so excited for her sessions each week. Hayley makes learning fun with games and activities that keep her engaged. She doesn’t even realise she’s learning!”

“Engaging Hayley to tutor my two primary aged children was a godsend. Her cheerful demeanor always engages my children to listen, and enjoy their learning with her. She incorporates many different strategies for learning and keeping the children eager to learn more. Not only do my children learn and have progressed since she started with them, but they look forward to seeing her at their weekly sessions. Hayley has taken a large weight off my shoulders with her proactive and supportive curriculum. We cannot thank her enough!”
