Literacy for Life has been proudly supporting Canberra students since 2008. We provide specialist, individualised literacy and numeracy tutoring for learners from the early primary years through to high school, university and TAFE, through to adult professionals.

All tutoring is delivered through one-to-one sessions, scheduled at a consistent time each week with the same tutor to ensure continuity, trust, and strong learning outcomes.

Sessions are offered at our Jamison centre, as well as online via live, individual video teaching — providing flexibility while maintaining the same high-quality, structured approach.

"My child has attended a program in Literacy for Life for a few years, and I can see the progress he made. They help him to decode social scenarios by breaking them down into small steps and demonstrating each step to him. No details are missing and it really has worked for him. He will definitely continue with them."

"Many thanks to the staff at Literacy for Life for tutoring our teenage son in the ways of Mathematics. Within the space of a single year while at college, our son made the transition from near failure in that subject to closing in on an A Grade mark – no mean feat. Grades aside, the critical difference was a change in attitude from him, going from total disinterest in the subject matter to an enthusiasm for it. This is the best exemplar of the successful and engaging teaching methods at Literacy for Life."
Dr Andrew Claridge
"Our daughter has attended Literacy for Life for 3 years. Not only does her tutor take great care in my daughter's autistic nature, but also teaches her as an individual with tremendous potential. Our daughter has gained confidence in verbal expression, in writing and in certain social interactions. The tutor has gone beyond ‘above and beyond’ to co-ordinate teaching plans and setting goals with our daughter's speech pathologist. It is lovely to see the relationship between our daughter and her tutor develop over the years. Her tutor is an experienced and caring teacher, whom my daughter is very fortunate to have."

"Literacy for life was suggested to me to help my daughter improve her reading and writing skills. Her tutor has been great with my daughter. Her reading has improved and also her writing skills have come a long way. Thanks to Literacy for Life we are seeing a happier and more confident young lady. "

He is really enjoying your sessions, thank you. He said last week that he wishes that he knew the things you taught him sooner.
Literacy For Life’s success is the ethos that learning and reading are at the core of a rich life. L4L gave our son a love for reading and the skills to grow his love. In turn success in literacy has boosted his confidence in school and life. Children and parents find a welcoming atmosphere. It is like having afternoon tea with an old friend. Instructive but cool at the same time, L4L appeals to all ages.

We understand the anxiety and distress that can surround learning, particularly in students who are afraid of ‘getting it wrong’. Our teaching method is highly supportive, and helps students develop the confidence to take ‘risks’ in their learning.
