Supporting Limitless Learning - Without Walls
Admiration and a passion for child learning provide the driving forces behind Learning Beyond Walls - a creative space fostering child discovery, education and growth.
We provide an environment where children come together to:
Build their ever growing vocabulary and utilise their thinking skills
Collaborate to allow their wonderful imaginations to run wild and their creativity to flow
Share skills and learn new ones in a safe and nurturing setting
Develop an appreciation of good quality literature
Have fun, make new friends and appreciate the natural world
We specialise in delivering curated pre and primary aged support in the form of 1-2-1 Tuition for homeschoolers as well as children attending traditional school. We also run weekly "Stay and Play" sessions for ages 0-4 - exploring sensory / messy play!
All that we do has a focus and appreciation of the natural world. Our home is on the Sunshine Coast.
Our Story
Nurturing a passion for teaching from a young age, Learning Beyond Walls founder Ashlie grew up in the North of England, completing her BA (Hons) Primary Teaching degree in 2008 (specialising in English Language). She found traditional teaching to be an extremely rewarding experience, working with children from preschool to the end of primary education. Building her knowledge over the past decade, she also gained specialisations supporting individuals to overcome specific learning barriers such as visual impairments, autistic spectrum disorders and ADHD.
Spending more time doing paperwork and less time with the children, she fell in love with tutoring - finding this to be the perfect space to nurture individual needs and develop a child’s learning aspirations. After the birth of her daughter Fern, she began to further re-evaluate the path of her teaching journey, aiming to strike that perfect blend of limitless learning and measurable results.
Channeling creativity, enthusiasm for individualised support and a drive to refine alternative learning methods meant growing beyond the traditional school setting.
Learning Beyond Walls Was Born
Providing more than a ‘prescribed curriculum’, Ashlie combines her love of nature, teaching and children to create a rewarding environment for learning and discovery.
Learning Beyond Walls is a pre and primary aged tutoring service with a fundamental difference; we place child learning and discovery at the centre of all we do, rather than regurgitating a rigid curriculum. Nevertheless, we value a child's progression and subsequently align learning workshops with the Early Learning Framework and the Australian Curriculum.
What matters to me is making our workshops responsive to every child's learning style. That is my passion.
