About the Director:
Dahlia Miller BA, Dip.TESL
Director/Owner
Dahlia was six years old when she first started tutoring
- in her grade one class. She recalls, "I had finished my
classwork quickly, so my teacher let me walk around to help
other students in the class. I was thrilled and very serious
at the same time. Since then I’ve devoted much of my life
to helping people learn.”
Dahlia worked in a variety of roles as an ESL teacher and administrator for 10 years before establishing Smart Tutor Referrals. She has co-authored a grammar textbook for ESL students, study skills guidebook for middle and high school students, and has written numerous articles on a range of education-related topics.
Dahlia is passionate about bringing the benefits of supportive
learning to students and families in Victoria and being
a positive influence in Victoria’s educational community.
As Director, Dahlia is in one of her favourite roles:
supporting students, parents and teachers. “The position is so varied,”
says Dahlia., “It keeps me completely inspired to stretch
my abilities and reach the greatest number of people - running
STR is both exciting and demanding. I am doing what I love.”
When she’s not working, Dahlia enjoys time with her son,
kayaking, hiking and reading.
