Starting with Strong Foundations

School Readiness

Starting school is a big step, and a little preparation goes a long way. My School Readiness program is designed for pre-school aged children in Beaconsfield and surrounding areas, focusing on the foundational skills that set kids up for a confident start.

Sessions cover:

  • Oral language development

  • Pre-literacy skills (letter recognition, early sound awareness)

  • Pre-numeracy skills (counting, number recognition, early problem-solving)

    Run weekly in a small group setting, School Readiness gives children the chance to build these skills in a relaxed, supportive environment before they start School.

What Sets Me Apart?

A Real Teacher, not just a tutor

I’m not just tutoring on the side — I’m a qualified teacher who understands exactly how literacy is taught in the classroom, and how to bridge the gap when a child needs extra support.

Playful, not pressured

Learning should feel like discovery, not a chore. Sessions are hands-on and playful — games, conversation and genuine curiosity — so kids build real skills without the stress of feeling "behind."

When you have a question or a concern about your child's progress, you're talking to me directly — not being passed through a booking system or a call centre. As a small, local business, that means real answers, faster, from the person who actually knows your child.
