Helping your child achieve their potential

The InstructED Story: Passion for Education, Commitment to Excellence

InstructED was born from a vision of educational excellence and a passion for teaching. Founded by Yvonne De Giusti (née Karfakis), a seasoned educator with over a decade of experience in the classroom and as a textbook and resource writer, InstructED is more than just a tutoring service. Yvonne's journey in education has not only been about imparting knowledge but also about understanding and addressing the unique challenges students face in and out of the classroom.
Witnessing the pressures of the modern education system on schools, teachers, and students, Yvonne realised the crucial role that well-executed private tutoring could play. It's not just about supplementing school education; it's about enhancing it in a way that is both meaningful and impactful. This led to the inception of InstructED, a platform where private tutoring is redefined – focused on personalised, differentiated teaching that supports and extends student learning and outcomes.

What makes InstructED different from any other tutoring service?

InstructED is not a one-size-fits-all pre-created program, or a group of new graduates who aced their VCE exams.

Don’t get us wrong, such services can work well to temporarily help students with a particular test or project. But at InstructED we see tutoring as an extension of school, as a continuation of equipping students to be independent and confident learners.

At InstructED we are expert educators who know how to teach and what to teach. When you join instructed you get:

Expertise in Education

Tutors, that are not just familiar with the Australian education system, but are part of it. Our team, led by Yvonne, comprises experienced teachers or students enrolled in a university teaching degree. We know the intricacies of curriculum development, assessment methods, and effective pedagogy.

Why is this important? When education researcher and professor John Hattie conducted an extensive synthesis of 1,000 research summaries, covering 50,000 studies, he concluded that the most significant factor impacting student advancement in education is the presence of highly skilled and devoted educators.
Comprehensive Learning Support
We believe in a holistic approach to education. This means not only helping students with their immediate academic needs but also equipping them with the skills and knowledge to navigate and excel throughout their education journey.

Personalised Learning Experiences

Understanding that each student is unique, we tailor our teaching methods to fit individual learning styles and needs. Our approach goes beyond the traditional 'one-size-fits-all' program, ensuring each student receives the attention and resources they need to truly excel.

Choosing InstructED means choosing a partner in education committed to your child's success. We offer more than tutoring; we offer a pathway to academic excellence and personal growth. Partner with us, and let's embark on this transformative educational journey together.
