About Positive Learners
A small, specialist practice with a big commitment to every learner we work with.
Why we started Positive Learners
We established Positive Learners because we saw, again and again, learners of all ages who were bright, motivated and capable — but who had been let down by a system that didn't always cater to the way they learned.
Whether it's a child falling behind in reading, a secondary student struggling to keep up, a VCE student needing exam strategies, or an adult wanting to manage dyslexia better at work — we believe everyone deserves specialist, personal support.
We operate out of Geelong and work one-to-one with every student. You get expert attention, not a production line.
Strengths-focused
We identify and build on what each learner does well, not just what they find hard.
Truly personal
Every student gets a plan built around them. No off-the-shelf programmes.
Evidence-based
Our methods are grounded in current research on dyslexia and learning differences.
Positive & encouraging
Our name says it all. We create a safe, warm environment where learning feels possible.
