Early Years Education
Subjects: English and Maths Years Prep to Year 2/3.
My name is Toni Daniels and I have been tutoring at 10/10 Tutoring & Educational Services since early 2020.
For as long as I can remember, all I ever wanted to do was become a teacher. As a result, after graduating high school I immediately commenced a teaching degree at Mt Gravatt College of Advanced Education (now known as Griffith University) and spent the next 36 years teaching as a classroom teacher, Senior Teacher, Advanced Senior Teacher and Enhancement Teacher at a number of schools in Queensland, predominantly in Years 1-3. Literacy is my passion, so being able to help children reach their full potential in spelling, reading, and writing is a real joy.
Outside of tutoring, I love spending time with my family, friends and my pet cat, Chi Chi, have a keen interest in arts and crafts, and enjoy home decorating!

Grayson Worrall

Grayson Worrall
Human Psychology
Hello, my name is Grayson Worrall, or for the kids, Mr Worr. I m one of the
dedicated teachers here at 10/10 Tutoring & Ed. Services.Â
About me.Â
My professional background is that of a youth social worker, operating with boys
who have mental disability and/or difficult behaviour issues. I have worked in
that industry for a combined six years. I have a very strong passion for
Evolutionary and Social Psychology. Humans fascinate me. I hold a degree in
Human Psychology, and Masters in teaching secondary education. I have found
myself in my perfect career. Additionally, I have absurdly long hair, due to my
enjoyment of metal music from my teenage years. I play video games on a daily
basis and create them as a hobby on the side. Hence, wearing the iconography of
various video games on my necklaces. Finally, I ;m a bird owner, who owns a
chicken as a house pet. She is very fluffy, warm and loves blueberries!
What do I teach?
Human Psychology year 10 -12; Science 7-10; English 7-12; and Math 7-10.Â
Am I a fit for your student?
Personally, I believe that the teacher and student need to match on the grounds
of personality. While I am very work-focused, I m very hard to offend and am
always up for something entertaining. If your student enjoys video games, high
levels of male energy and overall wants guidance, then chances are, I ll be a very
good match.

Having spent several rewarding years teaching secondary English in Sydney, and currently working as a full-time English teacher with BCE, I'm looking forward to working with more young people with 10/10 Tutoring and Education services. I genuinely believe in making English engaging and relevant for students, and I find real joy in helping them understand for themselves the power of critical reasoning and textual analysis.
I understand that every student learns differently, and I'm committed to differentiating my lessons to meet their individual needs. Whether we're building writing skills or refining senior analytical techniques, my goal is to empower students to become articulate communicators and thoughtful writers.

Senior/adult maths (any kind), physics, and chemistry.
While living in Canberra when I was young, my parents would regularly take me to the science centre Questacon and the Tidbinbilla Tracking Station, where they use big dishes to communicate with satellites. I’ve been in love with all things science & maths ever since, and worked hard to get degrees in both. I started tutoring these subjects privately about 10 years ago while studying, and it turned out to be something I was good at. Sharing topics I love and helping people achieve their goals at the same time is very rewarding and I'm glad to be here at 10/10 Tutoring & Ed. Services.
My motivation to becoming a teacher was my love of sharing is caring for students to understand and increase their knowledge and learning outcomes.
My favourite part of being an educator is the satisfaction and rewarding when students take on a new interest in topics learned.
