Personalised K–6 Tutoring Backed by 35+ Years of Teaching Experience

Is Your Child Working Hard — But Still Struggling?

Your child may be capable, intelligent and trying their best, yet still struggle with confidence, homework or keeping up in class.

The problem isn't always effort. Sometimes it's a learning gap.

At Tutoring with Berna, I help identify the skills your child needs to strengthen and provide personalised tutoring designed around their individual learning needs.

Let's find out what your child needs to move forward.

YOU KNOW YOUR CHILD CAN DO IT.

But something isn't quite clicking.

Perhaps you've noticed that your child:

  • Is losing confidence in their schoolwork

  • Struggles to keep up with classroom learning

  • Finds reading or comprehension difficult

  • Has difficulty with spelling or writing

  • Struggles with mathematical concepts

  • Needs constant help with homework

  • Becomes frustrated when they don't understand something

  • Works hard but isn't achieving the results you expected

  • Avoids subjects they find challenging

As a parent, you may be asking yourself:

Where is the problem?

Why are they struggling?

What should they be working on?

How can I help them?

You don't have to work it out alone.

Before we simply give your child more work, let's understand what they need.

Effective tutoring isn't about filling an hour with worksheets.

It's about identifying the skills that need strengthening and providing purposeful support.

A child struggling with reading may need support with foundational literacy skills.

A child struggling with writing may need help developing sentence construction, spelling or vocabulary.

A child struggling with mathematics may have gaps in foundational number skills.

When you understand the underlying need, tutoring becomes more targeted.

PERSONALISED TUTORING FOR K–6 STUDENTS

Support designed around your child's individual learning needs.

Every child learns differently.

That's why tutoring should not be a one-size-fits-all approach.

English & Literacy

Develop stronger skills in:

  • Reading

  • Phonics

  • Spelling

  • Vocabulary

  • Comprehension

  • Writing

  • Sentence construction

  • Communication

Mathematics

Build confidence and understanding in:

  • Number skills

  • Mathematical concepts

  • Problem-solving

  • Mathematical reasoning

  • Foundational skills

  • Applying mathematical knowledge

Targeted Learning Support

Lessons can focus on the areas where your child needs additional explanation, practice and reinforcement.

The goal isn't simply to give your child more work.

The goal is to help them understand.

WHY TUTORING WITH BERNA?

35+ Years of Teaching Experience

With more than three decades of experience in education, I bring a depth of classroom knowledge and understanding to personalised tutoring.

I understand that children don't all learn in the same way — and that sometimes changing the way something is explained can make all the difference.

I EXPLAIN THINGS IN A WAY CHILDREN UNDERSTAND

“Miss Berna explains things so well and I understand how things work. When she explains, she speaks using language I understand.”

— Cynthia, Year 5

Understanding comes before confidence.

WHAT MAKES UPSKILL WITH BERNA DIFFERENT?

I don't just ask, “What mark did your child receive?”

I ask, “What is stopping them from progressing?”

A school result tells you what happened.

It doesn't always tell you why.

Personalised tutoring allows us to look more closely at your child's individual learning needs and focus support where it can have the greatest impact.

PERSONALISED

Your child isn't treated like a number in a tutoring program.

EXPERIENCED

35+ years of teaching experience informs the way learning is explained and supported.

TARGETED

Tutoring focuses on the skills your child needs to strengthen.

SUPPORTIVE

Children need encouragement and patience as they develop new skills.

CONFIDENCE-BUILDING

When children begin to understand something that once seemed difficult, their confidence can grow.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

Real students. Real learning experiences.

“Miss Berna has taught me how to learn my times tables, and now I can do them quickly.”

— John, Year 3

“I love Miss Berna, she is always smiling and she makes me try my hardest. I always want to do my best because she really cares about my learning.”

— Erin, Year 2

“Miss Berna taught me the sounds and numbers and now I am starting to read and do plus and take away. I always get them right!”

— Carl, Kindergarten

“Miss Berna has taught me how to do a Pecha Kucha presentation and now I give speeches that are to the point and my audience is totally engaged.”

— Justin, Year 6

Every child deserves to feel capable of learning.

YOUR CHILD DOESN'T NEED TO BE “FAILING” TO BENEFIT

Early support can make a difference.

Tutoring isn't only for children who are significantly behind.

Your child may simply need:

More practice.

A different explanation.

Additional reinforcement.

Greater confidence.

Someone to identify the missing piece.

The earlier you understand what your child needs, the sooner you can provide targeted support.
