Our Vision
In 2023, Better Basics is continuing to strive for excellence in tutoring of English and Maths. We are upskilling our qualifications for supporting students with Dyslexia and Dysgraphia or for students with reading, spelling and writing difficulties who have no diagnosis. After 9 years of service we know what our students need to succeed and are developing new services to support students struggling with English.
We are committed to supporting all students, both neurotypical and neurodivergent students, including students with ADHD, ASD or challenges with mental health. Our vision for our new office at Booval is to develop a centre that is ADHD and ASD friendly, allowing students flexibility with how they learn.
We are committed to offering a variety of tutoring options to suit more budgets. Stay tuned for new services coming in 2023!
