Catering to the needs of students with learning difficulties and helping parents advocate for them. Because when learning lifts off, confidence does too 🚀
Hi, I’m Melinda 👋
As the Educational Coordinator at the Learning Difficulties Clinic at the Royal Children’s Hospital, I work closely with families and schools to support children with learning needs. I've also led student support teams in schools, so I understand what it takes to get real change happening — from both sides of the table. At Literacy Moves, I help families find clarity and confiden

Hey parents đź‘‹
If you’ve ever wondered whether your child is struggling a bit in oral language, reading, writing or maths - or maybe you suspect they could be gifted - I can help.
I do WIAT-III academic testing in your home (within 20km of Burwood, VIC) so kids feel comfortable. The results give you a really clear picture of their learning profile and practical next steps - whether that’s extra support, enrichment, or both.
A bit about me: I’m a Learning Intervention Specialist with a Master’s in Learning Intervention, and I work at the Royal Children’s Hospital helping students with a wide range of learning needs.
If you’ve been wanting answers, this is a great way to get them.
Send me a PM if you would like to hear more!

We Thought the Tutoring Was Helping…”
🧠“We thought the tutoring was helping… wasn’t it?”
If you’ve ever asked this, you’re not alone.
As part of my work at the Royal Children’s Hospital, I regularly meet families who’ve already invested in tutoring—only to discover it hasn’t made the difference they were hoping for.
The truth? Not all tutoring is created equal. If the instruction isn’t explicit, evidence-informed, and aligned with school practices, progress can stall—and important diagnoses like dyslexia may be delayed.
In my latest blog post, I unpack:
✔️ What effective tutoring actually looks like
✔️ Why sentence writing, vocabulary, and decoding big words matter
✔️ How high-quality individual and group tutoring can accelerate learning
✔️ What to do when you're on a waiting list to get testing
💬 If you’re tired of waiting and wondering, start with the right support now.
