Message from Alysha

I believe that teachers should be mentors. That means that we should be moving beyond just delivering the content of the curriculum. This is one of the focus areas that I have had through the outset of Breakaway Education, and is a concept that our name was created upon.

From the outset of my classroom teaching, and further into my business adventures, the main thing that I want to demonstrate to my students (and staff) is that we can truly BREAK AWAY from EVERYTHING that we feel may hold us back. This means, that if I think there is another avenue of assistance that we need to look into for your child to truly succeed, then I will personally make this suggestion to families and guide them through this process.

Learning is essentially a bunch of puzzle pieces that all fit together. Each of these pieces of the puzzle (your child’s whole self) needs to be addressed for learning to be optimised.

I want to show children that they are ALL special, talented, intelligent, unique and capable. I want my students and my tutors to work as a team together. I want every child that enters our centre and sessions to feel COMFORTABLE and leave with CONFIDENCE and the knowledge that they can ACHIEVE everything that they dream of achieving.
