Literacy and Numeracy Group Tutoring
Primary years of schooling are where children are taught the fundamental skills necessary for life. These skills form the foundation for all future learning.
We work with your child whether they are looking to consolidate, improve or extend themselves in literacy and numeracy while also embedding valuable growth mindset strategies.
To support our Curriculum aligned tutoring programs we also offer Prep4Prep School Readiness Programs and Holiday Programs to help your child succeed.
We Focus on Three Key Learning Areas
Reading
Building and connecting reading skills are essential across all key learning areas. The skills of reading are:
- Letter/sound knowledge
- Auditory discrimination
- Phonemics development
- Comprehension
Without these vital skills, children cannot transfer their knowledge to future learning.
Seeds of Knowledge uses a Balanced Literacy Approach to the teaching of reading.
Writing
When children have learnt the skill of reading, it is essential that children develop their writing skills through:
- understanding different text structures
- learning a range of sentence structures
- spelling
- grammar
Maths
Number knowledge is the foundation of numeracy and it is imperative that children have a strong foundation in understanding and developing fluency in mathematics.
The skills of Numeracy are:
- Foundational Maths
- Maths Problems
All of our teaching is based on goals aligned with the Australian Curriculum. This ensures that the learning supports the student’s progress through their schooling years.
Why is Seeds of Knowledge Different?
Seeds of Knowledge believes in developing the whole child through a range of processes, including:
- Structured curriculum that connects to how children learn and develop in the three key learning areas of Maths, Reading and Writing;
- Growth Mindset principles;
- Confidence building;
- A shared language around learning; and of course
- Enjoyment and fun
Seeds of Knowledge gives your child every chance and opportunity to be a successful and confident learner. Our purpose is to support your child to be confident, see challenges as positive and learn to accept the challenges that naturally come with learning.
The Seeds of Knowledge Process
At Seeds of Knowledge, we systemise the process of understanding your child’s needs for tutoring. The steps we take to ensure we are meeting your child’s learning needs include:
Information Call
We value the connection with our parents to understand their concerns about their child’s learning. This conversation allows you to understand the Seeds of Knowledge process and discover how we can help your child.
Assessment
A thorough assessment process provides information on your child’s learning development as a starting point to accurately group students.
Individualised Learning Plan
Through the assessment, an Individualised Learning Plan is written to guide the parent and tutor in identifying the learning needs of the child.
Reports
We value the input of teachers, speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, paediatricians and others to understand the whole child.
Group Placement
Group tutoring is powerful, as children learn with each other while noticing that they are not alone in the struggle of learning. Children learn best in social situations as they share ideas and create new knowledge. We take group placement seriously to ensure the best fit for your child’s learning needs and abilities.
Three key learning areas are offered which are:
- Reading
- Writing
- Maths
Commencement Into Group Tutoring
The tutoring sessions are aligned with Education Queensland School terms. Your child can start at any point within the term, which aligns with timetable vacancies. Our booking process is based on committing to a full term of tutoring.

Seeds of Knowledge was recommended to us by a good friend. My husband and I noticed from parent-teacher interviews that our 9-year-old son needed support in writing. I was a little apprehensive at first, not knowing what to expect. My initial phone call to Lasni was informative, and she put me at ease immediately. From our son’s assessment with Lasni to the weekly classes with Kerim, we know we made the right decision in enrolling him. The teachers of Seeds of Knowledge are incredible and so encouraging. Our son is thriving in his lesson and really does enjoy it. Thank you, Seeds of Knowledge!

Seeds of Knowledge helped my 6-year-old child to gain confidence in reading and writing. Over 2 terms my child was able to improve from not really able to read or write to doing so with greater fluency.

Alex has only been going to SOK for a few weeks but I’ve seen a difference in him already. He is just happy to learn again, and happy to give things a go. His school teacher even pulled me aside to tell me the same thing. Alex lately has been reading me a bedtime story and is proud of his ability which is really lovely to see.

I love tutoring because it helps me get to where I need to be in class. I used to think that learning was hard, but now it is getting easier. Lasni teaches me stuff step-by-step and makes it easier to understand.

“Seeds of Knowledge” was recommended to us from another parent.
We were looking for a tutor to help our daughter after reports from school that she was behind.
The Seeds of Knowledge philosophy and the approach to teaching has been refreshing and engaging.
Our daughter has been given life skills to help her stay focused, identity when she needs help and confidence to give things a go.
We are so thankful and pleased with the progress our daughter is now making in the classroom. Thank you Seeds of Knowledge!

My daughter has benefited a lot from her online classes. Lasni kept her engaged and encouraged her all the time which transferred to her having more confidence in the classroom at school. Sophia loves her time with Lasni!

Our son had been struggling for a few years in school, and we were worried he was falling too far behind. Even his teachers were concerned and despite attempting to help as much as we could, we couldn’t make headway. Bobby has improved in both maths and English since starting with Seeds of Knowledge and we see his confidence tackling new problems grow each day. Persistence is the key and that is what we are starting to see in Bobby after a few terms with Seeds of Knowledge tutoring.

We engaged Lasni at Seeds of Knowledge because our daughter required assistance with her maths. She lacked confidence in her learning and this created a massive road block of “I can’t”. Lasni is caring, engaging, positive and supportive. She creates an environment where getting things wrong is a good thing. That mistakes make you grow. She has helped our daughter immensely, and her attitude not only in Maths, but all aspects of her schooling has improved 100%. She now loves to learn! I cannot recommend Seeds of Knowledge enough. Lasni has changed our lives!
