Specialist learning support · Buderim, Sunshine Coast QLD
Every learner shines with the right support.
Is your child struggling with reading, writing, or maths?
You are in the right place. I'm Mary Grace Francis, a specialist learning support educator based in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast. With nearly 20 years of experience, I help primary and high school students — including those with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and other learning differences — build real skills and genuine confidence.
My approach is always personalised to your child. I draw on proven, evidence-based programmes, including Orton-Gillingham for reading and spelling, and multi-sensory Mathematics methods for number skills — then tailor every session to your child's actual learning style.
Individualised Options
Skill Enhancement
Weekly sessions to build confidence and strengthen core English or Maths skills
Homeschool Support
Tailored plans that work alongside your family's curriculum and learning style
Intensive Tutoring
3–4 sessions per week for students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, or learning differences
Who can I help?
I provide targeted support for both primary and high school students who need help with English and Maths. In English, I work with students throughout their high school years, while in Maths, I offer support up to algebra level.
I tailor my teaching to suit individual learning needs, including students with learning differences such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. My approach is also well-suited to neurodivergent learners, including those with autism and ADHD.
