Our name sake
Ada Lovelace (the world’s first computer programmer and numbers guru) & Virginia Woolf (who transformed the way we understand literature) inspired Georgina Jarvis (Registered Psychologist) and Stephanie Allen (Law Graduate) to form Ada & Woolf.
Who we are
Ada & Woolf is a team with over 30 years combined experience. We are dedicated to elevating the learning journey.
We combine academic excellence with emotional intelligence, offering students not only rigorous skill-building but also guidance in mindset, wellbeing, and self-belief.
Our approach
We elevate education through personalised strategy, psychological insight, and a community designed to support students in both learning and life after school.
Our approach is deliberate, thoughtful, and rooted in a passion for our craft: we teach students how to learn, why they learn, and who they can become through the process.
We built the Ada & Woolf Method, a results-driven system that pairs strategic, structured teaching with positive psychology.
How we teach
Every session runs to one deliberate shape — 5 minutes of strategic planning, 40 minutes of focussed, high-impact tutoring, and 5 minutes to set homework and next steps. No busywork, no guesswork.
One deliberate session shape, a personalised portal for every student where families, tutors and students can collaborate.
Between sessions, each student’s personalised student planner keeps the plan in view. Progress is a record everyone shares, not a report that arrives too late to matter.
Our space
We teach in-person at our beautiful offices at Forum Workspace on Level 3, 377 New South Head Road and online via Google Meet. Parking is available at the Kiaora Lane car park, entry via 1 Kiaora Lane.
