Is Your Child Working Hard But Still Struggling?

Find the learning gaps. Strengthen the skills. Build their confidence.

Personalised tutoring designed to identify what your child needs, target the skills that matter and help them become a more confident learner.

When your child is putting in the effort but still struggling with reading, writing, spelling, comprehension or mathematics, the answer isn't always more homework or more worksheets. Sometimes, there is a gap in a foundational skill that needs to be identified and strengthened.

That's where personalised tutoring can make a difference.

Start by understanding exactly where your child needs support.

YOU KNOW YOUR CHILD CAN DO IT.

But something isn't quite clicking.

You may have noticed that your child:

  • Struggles with reading or understanding what they have read

  • Finds spelling and writing unnecessarily difficult

  • Has difficulty remembering skills they have previously learned

  • Becomes frustrated when completing homework

  • Avoids subjects they find challenging

  • Lacks confidence in their own ability

  • Is working hard but isn't seeing the progress you expected

  • Seems to have fallen behind in particular areas

  • Needs repeated explanations before a concept makes sense

And as a parent, you may be wondering...

Where is the problem?

Why are they struggling?

What should we work on first?

How can I help?

You shouldn't have to guess.

THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE EFFORT.

It may be a learning gap.

A child can be intelligent, capable and willing to learn — yet still struggle because an important foundational skill hasn't been fully developed.

For example:

A child struggling with reading comprehension may need support with vocabulary or reading fluency.

A child struggling with writing may need stronger sentence construction and spelling skills.

A child struggling with mathematics may have gaps in number understanding or foundational concepts.

This is why we start with understanding — not guesswork.

BEFORE WE TUTOR, WE IDENTIFY WHAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS.

Comprehensive Learning Assessment
Assessment Value: $350

Your child's learning journey shouldn't begin with random worksheets or a generic tutoring program.
The first step is understanding their current skills and identifying the areas that may need additional support.
Your assessment involves time spent preparing, administering, marking and analysing your child's work to provide meaningful insight into their learning needs.

TUTORING THAT IS BUILT AROUND YOUR CHILD

Not every child needs the same lesson.

That's why tutoring should not simply mean giving your child more of the same work.

At Upskill with Berna, sessions can be tailored around your child's individual learning needs, current skills and areas for development.

  • Reading

Targeted Learning Support

Rather than spending valuable tutoring time on skills your child has already mastered, lessons can focus on the areas where additional practice, explanation and reinforcement are needed.

HOW IT WORKS

A SIMPLE APPROACH TO TARGETED LEARNING

1. ASSESS

We begin by developing a clearer understanding of your child's current skills.

↓

5. GROW

As skills develop, your child's confidence and independence can grow alongside them.

WHY UPSKILL WITH BERNA?

Because your child is more than a grade.

A school result tells you how your child performed.

It doesn't always tell you why they performed that way.

At Upskill with Berna, the focus is on understanding the skills behind the result and providing support that is relevant to your child's needs.

PERSONALISED

Your child's learning needs are individual. Tutoring should reflect that.

TARGETED

Focus on the skills that require attention instead of simply adding more work.

STRUCTURED

Learning follows a clear direction, helping your child understand what they are working towards.

SUPPORTIVE

Children need to feel safe to make mistakes, ask questions and try again.

FOUNDATION-FOCUSED

Strong foundational skills can provide a stronger platform for future learning.

MORE THAN JUST TUTORING

We're building the skills behind the confidence.

When a child repeatedly struggles with something, it can affect more than their schoolwork. It can affect how they see themselves as a learner.

That's why building skills matters.

When children begin to understand something that once seemed difficult, they can experience those important moments of:

“I can do this.”

That is the confidence we want to help build.
