Karla Sabella
Founder and English coach
B. Arts (English Hons.), Dip. Ed at UNSW
“Teaching is never about getting a result. It is about students realising what they are capable of, and being completely inspired by that! Every student has something new to offer the world, and through having a coach to support, direct and motivate them, their learning process is dramatically accelerated, allowing them to achieve outstanding results both at school, and once they complete their HSC. This is what we inspire at Ignite learning.”
Ragavi Ragavan

“I believe continuous learning is vital and as a tutor, I encourage strategic and creative ways to keep a student engaged in the subject. Every student is different and my objective is to take them beyond their own expectations, to show there are no boundaries other than the ones we set for ourselves.”

“Education is the foundation of the empowered mind, providing lifelong knowledge and skills. As an English tutor, I am a passionate advocate for the power of strong communication skills and believe firmly that a comprehensive understanding of the English language significantly benefits students both during school and beyond. Accommodating each student’s individual needs, I encourage the development of informed perspectives, critical thinking and compositional skills, and an instilled, lasting love of learning.”

“Education provides a gateway through which students are empowered to formulate their own perspectives and voice these opinions to the world. As such, my goal as a tutor is to not only ensure that my students have the necessary knowledge and tools to succeed, but to also ensure their confidence in eventually utilising these skills outside of school. It is my belief that everyone has the potential to achieve their goals and ambitions in life, as long as they are willing to strive to achieve them.”

“I believe that each student is unique, and in order to motivate and encourage these students, these individual needs must be recognised. My objective is to facilitate and enhance various learning styles, to provide the most targeted and effective form of coaching for each student. Rather than memorisation, a comprehensive understanding of concepts and ideas is most beneficial, and is what I provide as a tutor at Ignite.”

As a tutor, my goal is to help students achieve confidence in formulating their perspectives of the world, both within the academic world, and beyond. By developing positive attitudes to education, I hope to empower every student to pursue their ambitions and enjoy a lifelong journey of learning.”

“As a tutor, success to me means helping a student look within themselves and realise their own potential, motivation and confidence. Once they possess these qualities, they will leap yards ahead with proper coaching and guidance. The goal is always to equip students with skills that will allow them to achieve their academic goals and eventually help themselves, throughout the HSC and beyond. ”

“One should never stop learning, because life never stops teaching. The ultimate goal of education is to create the possibilities for people to invent and discover, to create individuals who are capable of doing new things. My role as a tutor is to foster the students’ desire to learn new concepts, principles, skills and to help them achieve their full potential.”

Laura Heuston

“Students need to be able to learn at their own pace, and engage with things that really interest them. Having a personal tutor who is able to encourage them to achieve goals that they really value (and point out the interesting parts of a subject they may not have noticed yet) is crucial to fostering an environment in which they can flourish, and most importantly, enjoy learning! My fundamental aim at Ignite is to ensure that my students come away from high school with a passion for knowledge, which they’ll maintain throughout their lives.”
Michelle Devadason

“An education is one of the most critical things someone could have access to, and every person has the potential to excel academically. However, this is not a feat that can be accomplished without persistence, or an interest in the subject matter. My goals as a tutor are to help my students reach any personal academic goals they aspire to, and to impart both critical thinking and life-based skills that they can carry through within life”.
Minh Anh Pham
Maths & Physics Coach
Bachelor of Project Management at Sydney University
“Mathematics and Science are often perceived as rigorous and unachievable subjects, however, I believe students can overcome this barrier through hard work and consistent discipline. As a tutor, I strive to instil self faith and confidence in students, as I believe both qualities can help them through academics and beyond.”

“Learning is not limited to specific content within a curriculum, but instead, expands our ability and understanding of life skills and communication. Education is fundamental to all aspects of life, as well as ensuring students are empowered in all ways possible. It is my aim to encourage students to be curious and analytical, to assist them to reach their potential, and prompt them to continue learning and growing at all times.”
Sophia Li

“Teaching is akin to supporting a student down a path of their own choosing. Whether it is a path of understanding, knowledge or simply passion, we do our best to tailor our method to suit the student’s needs. That way, we can foster an open learning environment and effective lessons allowing them to get the most out of Ignite. When they finish the path they set out to accomplish, I hope that they will discover a new-found sense of confidence, maturity and interest in learning.”

“In my teaching, my aim is to ensure that students are able to interact with their subject matter, and in doing better at it, even start to enjoy it! Through my guidance, I ensure my students give their best shot at everything they do, and focus on the learning process, rather than just simply a mark. The thing I love most about teaching is that each student is unique in their capabilities and talents, and I am constantly working to cater to those individual traits through offering a variety of engaging learning methods.”
