Our Mission

Literacy for Life Tutoring was established to give children struggling with reading, writing, spelling, handwriting or maths the best possible support. Every session is planned around the individual learner, with the goal of building real, lasting confidence — not just short-term results.

Introducing your Specialist Teacher - interventionist/co-founder of Literacy for Life Tutoring

Margherita is an experienced literacy and mathematics specialist with over 20 years of experience in the education system — as a literacy coach, curriculum leader and consultant across many schools. She specialises in supporting students with specific learning disabilities, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ASD and ADHD, as well as students who present with a learning difficulty without a diagnosis.

Every session is meticulously planned and grounded in the science of reading and learning. Her mission is to create a supportive environment where your child feels a sense of belonging, flourishes as a learner and builds confidence as an independent thinker — with families as true partners in that progress.

What we do

We implement the evidence-based programs recommended by educational psychologists — matching the right approach to your child to grow their skills and self-belief.

“I am so pleased and grateful for the help Margherita has given my child to succeed in class. Her caring nature and knowing how to take my child to the next level has helped my daughter gain the confidence in reading and spelling."
