Private Tutoring Sessions Tutoring sessions through Bluebell Learning Centre are structured for an individual child to have private sessions. Most commonly each session lasts one hour and ideally students have sessions weekly. Ahead of commencing tutoring, a free-of-charge interview process allows us to discuss the needs of your child. Following the interview, an individual tutoring program is created to best support your child's needs.
Tutoring Primary Students Tutoring sessions for young children will take into account the areas of strength and weakness your child has. Sessions will engage your child in activities that will build on their strengths, whilst supporting the development of their weaker areas. Undertaken with a deep understanding of child development, confidence and self-esteem boosting strategies, different learning styles and learning challenges, carefully planned sessions will work to encourage your child to gain mastery in skills they previously found difficult. Sessions aim to develop new competencies, as well as an overall joy in learning.

Individualised tutoring sessions support self-esteem growth Tutoring through the Bluebell Learning Centre offers students the opportunity to engage in active, fun and individually-programmed learning sessions. In each tutoring session, students have the experience that they can develop their academic skills in a supportive environment. With the acquisition of new skills in literacy and numeracy, confidence and self-esteem grow, and students recognise that learning is a positive and rewarding experience.
