Good News Story
Ernest’s story
As a person living with ADHD, Ernest was concerned that he would not be able to keep pace with the learning requirements of Self-Employment Assistance but his MTC Mentor helped him overcome those barriers.
Ernest wanted to tell everyone about his experience with MTC Australia’s Self-Employment Assistance, the Certificate III in Entrepreneurship and Micro-Business and the support he received from his Mentor Michelle.
“As a student with ADHD, I initially had concerns about keeping up with the fast pace of Self-Employment Assistance and meeting all the requirements to achieve my qualification. However, Michelle’s unwavering commitment to her students has been nothing short of remarkable. She has not only made seemingly dull subject topics come alive but also ensured that they were easily understandable by providing real-life examples and engaging with all participants in a way that encouraged interaction and even injected humour into our learning experience.
Michelle’s ability to visualise concepts has transformed what could have been a challenging journey into an exciting one. Her approach caters perfectly to right-brain-oriented creative minds like mine, making it easier for me to cope with ADHD while grasping complex ideas.
By going above and beyond her job description, she provided additional support through one-on-one tutoring outside of regular curriculum hours. This personalised attention allowed me to thrive as an individual, boosting my confidence levels significantly.
What truly sets Michelle apart is her deep understanding of how different individuals learn best. She adapted coping strategies specifically tailored to address my learning challenges, creating an optimal environment for me to succeed academically. Through her guidance, I discovered that my condition is not a weakness, but a special gift of genius possessed by only 12 per cent of the population. This newfound belief in myself has empowered me to embrace my unique talents and skills confidently.
Thanks to Michelle’s dedication and expertise, I have successfully completed this course and gained valuable knowledge that will undoubtedly contribute towards opening a successful small business as a professional dog behaviourist—a dream I never thought possible before embarking on this journey.
I wholeheartedly recommend MTC Australia as an institution committed to excellence in education. In particular, I highly recommend Michelle as a teacher who consistently raises the standard and goes above and beyond the standard curriculum to ensure her students’ success. Her personal vision for each student to shine with self-belief and knowledge is truly inspiring. Once again, I extend my deepest gratitude to Michelle for her outstanding teaching, support, and belief in my abilities.
She has made a lasting impact on my life, and I am forever grateful.”
Sincerely, Ernest Phillip Hamilton
Thankyou for your kind words and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours Ernest!
