Evidence-based learning support tailored to your child
Specialist intervention in Melbourne for reading, writing, spelling, and maths. We help children with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, and learning difficulties build lasting skills and classroom confidence.
Our core intervention areas
Every child learns differently. Using structured, research-backed methods recommended by educational psychologists, we target specific learning gaps with patience and proven strategies.
Reading and phonics
Systematic synthetic phonics and phonemic awareness using Sounds-Write, UFLI, Heggerty, and Talk for Reading. We support children with dyslexia to decode words accurately and read fluently.
Writing and spelling
Structured morphology, spelling rules, and written expression using Word Origins 3-6 spelling and word study, Talk for Writing, and grammar and punctuation. We turn writing frustration into clear, structured, and confident communication.
Numeracy and dyscalculia
Targeted mathematics intervention designed for specific learning difficulties. We break complex numerical concepts into concrete, manageable steps that build genuine understanding.

Dear Margherita,
I have to share that my son received his NAPLAN results yesterday and his English writing results were outstanding - his mark was at the very top of “exceeding”. He told me that he used the “Talk for Writing” model story technique I’d shared with him (after learning it from you) and just adapted his story he’d already thought to the prompt he was given on the test! Thank you so much

"I found Margherita very professional and very kind to my two boys who were struggling in class especially reading. She brought back the confidence and love for learning in the classroom. The impact she has had on our two boys aged 8 and 10 is incredible. She is confident in delivering a phonics program that not only enhanced their reading, but spelling and writing as well. I strongly recommend Margherita to anyone who is experiencing the same thing."

A structured pathway to real learning progress
Whether you are waiting for an assessment from an educational psychologist or have an existing diagnosis, our step-by-step process ensures your child receives precisely the right intervention.
Observation and informal assessment
Before locking in any program, Margherita observes your child closely and analyses their current work. We review existing diagnostic reports, discuss parent and teacher insights, and identify exact learning gaps. This granular data ensures we never waste time on general practice, focusing entirely on where your child needs targeted support.
Matching psychologist-recommended methods
Once individual needs are pinpointed, we implement the ideal evidence-based program. From Sounds-Write for synthetic phonics to Talk for Reading, Talk for Writing, and specialised numeracy remediation, every session is explicit, systematic, and designed to replace frustration with genuine achievement.
