We help bridge foundational learning gaps in literacy and numeracy , for young minds, through personalised tuition

The Learning Circle Tutor, directed by Nicola Davis, is a tuition service specialising in the identification and bridging of foundational learning gaps, in literacy and numeracy.

Nicola has 28 years experience in education, from the top independent schools in WA and NSW, to homeschooling her own three children from time to time, as required.

After 3 years of providing a bespoke tuition service, it is clear that the system is not able to cater effectively for all children., both anxiety and homeschooling are on the rise.

Sessions include individual, group, face to face or Zoom, and are tailored to each student’s needs.

Nicola works with students from years 1-7 in numeracy, and years 1-10 in literacy.

Each student is provided with a One Note document with planning and anecdotal photos of the child’s work from session to session. Many parents use this for the homeschool moderators, to share with other educational specialists in their children’s lives, and/or use it to guide their home teaching from session to session.

    Early days but so far my child is enjoying the help with maths. Nicola is really good at spotting when something isn’t making sense and either simplifying or trying to teach a different way.

    It's been tremendous having Nicola's support for maths. If you're looking for a fun, nurturing and engaging environment for maths learning. This is the right spot! Nicola goes the extra mile, tailoring lessons according to our needs, using various manipulatives to help my child visualise abstract concepts, providing a calm environment for self-regulation and keeping it entertaining so that we are always engaged. My child has grown in confidence with maths after working with Nicola and enjoys each session.

    Our whole family loves Nicola, especially my daughter. She has a wonderful therapeutic and fulfilling relationship, developed within a calming and nurturing environment. Lessons are individually tailored specifically for learning needs, and are rounded out with a game and giggles. I highly recommended Nicola. The benefits have been exactly as needed for our daughter.

    Nicola is an incredible tutor and her ability to interact with my boys has helped them to achieve so many gains academically in the past two years. She fosters a love of learning and adapts to suit the child she is working with. She is also experienced in dealing with neurodivergent children and is able to empathise with them and finds ways to engage so they still learn even when they are having difficult days. I highly recommend Nicola as a tutor. - Thank you
