Onsite & Online Around Australia: Kylie Mort & TKM Diesel
Kylie Mort and her husband, Tom Mort, are not just business owners; they are adventurers, educators, and skilled professionals, working and travelling around Australia while continuing to run their core businesses. Kylie is a dedicated Online School Tutor, and Tom is a seasoned Diesel Mechanic, both providing their expertise onsite and online wherever the road takes them.
A Lifelong Commitment to Education
Sixteen years ago, Kylie made the bold decision to leave the traditional education system and carve her own path as a professional private tutor. Since then, her journey has been one of continuous learning and growth, spanning multiple disciplines, including coaching, mentoring, psychology, yoga, and even facial expression analysis. These skills allow her to connect deeply with her students, fostering engagement and confidence through online learning platforms, particularly Zoom.
Through her extensive accreditations and multiple degrees at Deakin University, Kylie has honed her ability to tailor her teaching to the unique needs of each student. However, her greatest lessons have come from firsthand experience—working with diverse learners across Australia. Her long-term involvement with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) in programs such as the Ronald McDonald Learning Program and Bridge the Gap has been a privilege, allowing her to support young people who are too ill or immunocompromised to attend mainstream school.
Education & Innovation—Anytime, Anywhere
Now in 2025, as Kylie travels Australia, she is embracing the opportunity to immerse herself in different communities and further enrich her teaching approach. She continues to refine her innovative tuition programs, including the education app she developed in 2022. This app is designed to enhance accessibility and ensure stronger alignment with the Australian national curriculum, making learning more effective and engaging for students everywhere.
Her slogan, Onsite & Online Around Australia, encapsulates her mission—providing education and support no matter where she is, ensuring that learning is never out of reach.
Real Proof, Real Impact
The best measure of Kylie’s impact is found in the testimonials, reviews, interviews, and commentary across the internet. Parents, students, and educators alike have shared their experiences, praising her ability to inspire confidence, nurture academic growth, and provide unwavering support. You don’t have to take her word for it—explore the feedback and see the results for yourself.
More Than Just a Teacher—A Businesswoman & Diesel Mechanic
Beyond education, Kylie plays an integral role in TKM Diesel, a family-run business specializing in heavy vehicle repairs and maintenance. With over two decades of experience supporting her husband’s mechanical business, she is now a fully qualified diesel mechanic. Whether it’s repairing trucks or tutoring students, Kylie approaches every challenge with the same dedication and drive.
Empowering Every Learner
Kylie is passionate about helping individuals discover their strengths and overcome their challenges. As an ADHD advocate, she has written an award-winning book on ADHD strategies and developed an educational app that supports students with ADHD using her own tested coping mechanisms. Both she and her daughter have ADHD, and through her studies and lived experience, she has become a trusted guide in this space.
Her goal is simple: to develop strong, resilient, and unique individuals who know their worth, challenge their weaknesses, build their strengths, and trust that they are #ImportantSpecialSafeAndLoved.
Join Kylie’s Journey
Through her publications, tutoring programs, and TKM Diesel’s breakdown service, Kylie Mort is proving that you don’t have to be confined to one place to make a difference. Whether onsite or online, across cities or remote regions, she is committed to helping individuals and families achieve success.
Follow her adventures, explore her programs, and see the impact for yourself.

“You definitely helped her academically but I think you helped her most in a “life coach” type of way. [She] loved chatting with you and always came away from your sessions with a renewed happiness and positivity which seemed to be so lacking in her for a long time, and for that [we] will be forever grateful.
“Good News – [she] scored an A+ and A in two of her assessments -woo hoo! Loves her studies and her tutoring is doing wonders for her…thanks to you”
Oh my goodness what an absolute gem I stumbled upon, Kylie a complete stranger at the time never hesitated to find time to tutor my 2 children and both my children ( even my quiet rather withdrawn not into anything academic son) clicked immediately with Kylie and her online tutoring.
Kind caring and with such a bubbly personality. Thank you Kylie for being there to guide my children through the final years of their schooling.

“Kylie, thank you so much for all of the help you have been giving [my daughter] this year, it has been such a great support for her. I was wondering if you would be able to give my younger daughter some support next year with Year 11 English? [She] would really benefit from your help!!”
” what a beautiful impact you had/have on [my daughter]. We speak often about how you really were the single most important & positive experience during [her] high school years. The power to transform her learning & restore faith in her abilities is something so profoundly precious. It is indicative of the duty of care you showed my daughter, which actually leaves me speechless. Love your passion to make a difference. You so didin the most profound way.”

“I love that when our students need an extended session you have the flexibility to hang in there and push through the work. They are very lucky to have this level of support…Your support is absolutely worth it.”
“He engaged with you and I think he took a lot in which is awesome!
“Thank you Kylie, we are super impressed with the detail of notes you have sent through.
““Your impact on [my daughter] was/has been nothing short of extraordinary & always treasured. From the moment we met you & you received lots of feedback which I never held back on, you always treated her with the utmost respect. Her learning experience succinctly blossomed because Kylie you nurtured her in such a positive way. It enabled her to bloom & learn her way without fear of what she had previously experienced at school. Because she learns differently the teachers with zero patience nor tolerance blamed her. In reality they were to blame. They just did not care enough to teach in the way she could learn. Kylie Mort you are a true hero & forever indebted to you, for the all the care you took in [my daughter]’s learning experience. And most of all for all the times you supported us through very difficult traumatic experiences as well. Thank you for allowing [her] to thrive.”
“ What an incredibly beautiful impact you had/have on [my daughter] & myself included. Your duty of care towards my daughter’s learning disability & your ability to bring out the best in her, in a subject she feared so much speaks volumes. Making a difference matters so much & that epitomises everything about you Kylie”
“Kylie your incredible adaptation & recognition of how Amy-Summer learnt meant her fear of maths disappeared & the time spent in your tutoring sessions was nothing short of life changing.”
“Kylie Mort Luckily I know I can count on you to go out of your way to help us out. One person can make a difference. So, thank you for consistently choosing to be that person.”

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have (so patiently) offered … in what has been a very tricky year for all of us.
I have no doubt that he went into his [Year 12] English exam feeling better equipped and confident in his abilities …- we are so proud of how he has persisted over the past 2 [pandemic] years.”

“I’ve just read your story in Empowered Women I took in every word spell bound! So well written!! You are a very clever lady, wow, absolutely inspiring Thank you so much for sharing and teaching as you do Loved your piece
“Again a massive thank you for your efforts with our daughter. Just for your info, her teacher did some reading testing on her last week and the teacher reported to me directly that our daughter has taken a massive leap forward. We are very grateful for your support in her learning, as is she”
“You’re such a positive inspiration Kylie I really admire you for it !”
“Oh my gosh Kylie- this is why your work is so important.
Thank you for all of the details in regards to the discussion you have shared… and the fact that you are picking up on things now rather than when what he doesn’t understand becomes apparent a little too late in the classroom.
Not only are you picking up on things but then giving him tools to address it and also letting us know so that we can support him. How I wish we had started with you 6 years ago!”
