Bio
As a former teacher, opening a Success Tutoring centre in Parramatta was the perfect next step. With over 150 members, I’ve built a thriving learning community where students feel supported, confident, and inspired to excel.

Primary School Teacher
I wanted to keep teaching—but on my own terms
For over 10 years, Laurise worked as a dedicated primary school teacher in Western Sydney. She loved watching young students grow in confidence, but over time, she began to feel stretched thin. The long hours, constant admin, and limited flexibility made her question whether there was another way to stay connected to education—without burning out.
Seeking a change, she discovered Success Tutoring, a path that promised to lift the administrative burden and allow her to focus on what she loved most: helping children grow.
A model built for impact and flexibility
Laurise launched her Parramatta centre with an impressive 70 members in the very first week. The key, she found, was a business model designed to put students first while giving parents peace of mind. The focus on personalised learning, combined with a flexible and parent-friendly system, created an environment where students could thrive.
Reflecting on the model, Laurise explains:
Every student follows a personalised program tailored to their individual learning needs which are identified through a comprehensive pre-assessment. To motivate and celebrate students efforts and achievements we offer an award system where they can earn certificates and points.

Regaining control and rediscovering joy
For Laurise, the transformation has been profound. With the support of an excellent structure and a network of fellow franchise partners, she has been empowered to grow both personally and professionally. Most importantly, she has reclaimed her time and her passion. The mental load of unfinished tasks is gone, replaced by quality time with her family and a renewed energy for teaching.
She describes her new reality:
"Before joining Success Tutoring I often felt that my days lacked a healthy work life balance. I was spending more time working and less time with my family and friends. I now have more time for my family and the ability to disconnect after work. My day now starts with quality time spent with my family in the morning followed by dropping my daughter off at school. Success tutoring has given me back control of my time and for that I'm truly grateful."
