LEAP 2 LEARN offers private and semi-private primary school tuition in English and Maths, using recent evidence-based teaching methods and tailored programmes aligned with the Australian Curriculum. Owned and operated by Julia Shaw, the business is conveniently located at the Curtin Shops in Canberra.
Julia is an experienced teacher, who is passionate about supporting students to reach their full potential. As a registered teacher in the ACT, she has taught students with a diverse range of needs and discovered the joy and benefit of working one-to-one and in small groups. Julia has worked as a classroom teacher, had an overseas teaching experience in England, and worked as an IEC (Introductory English Centre) teacher and an EAL/D (English as an Additional Language/Dialect) teacher.
Julia completed her Bachelor of Education (Primary) in 2008 and her Graduate Certificate of TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in 2021. She pursued her dream to open a private tuition business, in 2022 when she established LEAP 2 LEARN, ensuring that more students receive the support they need to succeed academically.
Why LEAP 2 LEARN?
There are four essential components to learning. When we Listen, Engage, and Apply new learning we can Progress. This is not necessarily a linear process.
One-to-one private sessions are tailored for each of my students based on their learning goals, interests, and needs. This ensures that my students have fun, get the most out of their tutoring sessions, and make progress toward achieving their academic goals.
Semi-private sessions are by invitation only and are an ideal option for students who are developing their confidence to express their ideas and understandings. These sessions can provide greater scope for interactions, educational games, making connections, and sometimes even result in friendship.
I believe that a relaxed and comfortable learning environment is crucial to the success of my students. That's why I offer tutoring sessions that are conducted in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere that fosters learning and growth.
In many cases, I work with my student's families, teachers, and schools to help my students reach their goals. This approach means that my students are getting some consistency between what happens at school and in our tuition sessions. This is entirely optional for families. I aspire to provide private tuition and intervention that does not take away from the enriching classroom environment that a school provides, but instead it complements this. All tuition occurs outside of school hours unless recommended or approved by relevant professionals, including class teachers.
As a registered teacher, with a professional responsibility to keep up to date with current best practice, I ensure that my teaching approach is evidence-based using a variety of strategies and methods proven to be effective in supporting student learning. All programming also aligns with the Australian Curriculum.

Both my children have/are attending tutoring sessions with Julia, she is so kind and patient and my kids look forward to attending. My daughter improved so much in her target area, from well below standard to exceeding in her reports and her confidence has improved markedly. My son had just started and Julia had planned key lessons specifically to his individual needs and we are already seeing great improvements. Julia is a wonderful human and I would highly recommend her as a tutor for children who just need a boost in confidence, or for those with additional needs.

Leap 2 Learn has been fantastic for our daughter, since starting the program earlier in the year. Julia has worked with our daughter to help understanding of maths subjects, but also improved her confidence, which has translated back into the classroom environment. Julia's approach to make our family welcome and providing our daughter a great sense of achievement and development has been a great experience. We highly recommend Julia and Leap 2 Learn :)

Julia is a great teacher and my daughter enjoys her sessions every week. Julia makes time, sometimes before or after sessions, to share how things are going and provides feedback regularly in her emails. She also communicates with our daughter's teacher on occasion and we've found this to be supportive of her learning too. Highly recommend Julia if your child needs a little extra help with their learning.

Julia tailored the sessions to my son's interests and needs and made the sessions engaging. My son saw improvements in his writing due to Julia's tutoring.

Julia is a tutoring unicorn - I am so so grateful we found her. Her approach is calm, kind, very well informed and flexible to our son's needs week to week. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering a tutor for their child.
