The Emerging Star of Melbourne: How Tejasvee Boojhawon is Redefining Academic Transformation
In the vibrant educational landscape of Melbourne, a new name is being celebrated for making a profound impact on students’ lives. Tejasvee Devi Boojhawon, recently crowned the winner of the Emerging Star Award, has quickly become a standout Academic Personal Trainer (APT) at A Team Tuition.
Described by her peers and families as a tutor who brings warmth, clarity, and exceptional professionalism to every session, Tejasvee isn’t just teaching subjects—she’s mentoring the next generation of Melbourne’s leaders.
A Connection That Goes “Above and Beyond”
For many parents, the search for tutoring in Melbourne starts with a need for better grades but ends with a desire for a mentor who truly “gets” their child. Melanie McCann, a local parent, shared her 5-star experience:
“Tejasvee is a fantastic tutor who connected with my daughter immediately. She has gone above and beyond to identify the areas my daughter needs to work on to improve… She is motivating and kind and my daughter loves the sessions!”
Tejasvee’s secret to this immediate connection? Trust. Drawing from four years of experience, including time as an assistant lecturer, she prioritises making students feel comfortable. “I want them to know they can trust me with anything,” Tejasvee explains. “When you gain that trust, you can convey the right messages to the parents, ensuring there are no clashes and everyone is working towards the same goal.”
The “Ladder” Approach to Academic Success
Tejasvee’s methodology is far from a “one-size-fits-all” approach. She describes her preparation as “climbing the ladder.” Before every session, she spends time summarising complex textbook content into digestible “cheat sheets” tailored to the student’s specific learning style—whether they are a visual or auditory learner.
“If a student isn’t confident yet, I can’t give them an advanced question immediately,” Tejasvee says. “They will feel underconfident. I put the basic questions first and slowly climb the ladder. Seeing that drastic change in results after just two months is the most satisfying part of my job.”
More Than Grades: Mentoring the Individual
Tejasvee’s philosophy is rooted in a deep understanding of learning barriers. Inspired by her brother’s journey with dyslexia, she specialises in identifying exactly where a student is and providing the one-on-one attention they can’t get in a crowded classroom.
Success, for Tejasvee, is defined by a “non-academic” shift: Responsibility. She encourages her students to view themselves as leaders of their own sessions. “I want them to gain the skills to become a new person with a new personality,” she notes. “One of my students’ parents told me that from day one, their child was behaving differently—taking responsibility at home because they felt a new punch of confidence.”
Advice for the Overwhelmed Student
When asked what advice she would give to a student feeling discouraged, Tejasvee emphasizes the power of curiosity over the fear of judgement. “In my sessions, any kind of question is open. Any doubt is worth discussing. Curiosity is the main priority skill that keeps you on the learning curve.”
