Sharon Bramble is an educational consultant and the creator of ALERT Learning – a patented multi-sensory, learning system for educators, parents and students. Sharon began her career in education in 1997 when she established a learning centre in the Southern Highlands at which she tutored more than a thousand students of all ages and abilities. She developed a unique method of teaching which earned her a reputation as a remedial specialist working with children and adults with complex diagnoses and co-morbidities, including dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia and autism. In 2007, Sharon was approached by the principal of a primary school in south-west Sydney to train his staff in her unique methodology, for which she now holds an Australian patent. Before long, numerous primary schools were running the program and the Education Minister along with local MPs visited as NAPLAN results were the highest in the school’s history. In 2010, Sharon was invited to run a five-year trial at a Western Sydney high school during which she trained teachers across all subject areas. Throughout the trial the school achieved unprecedented NAPLAN results. In the fourth year, the school’s value-added growth (improvement) was the highest in New South Wales for every component of...

I have been teaching and tutoring on the Northern Beaches since 2007. I tutor Maths and writing but also help with public speaking speeches, homework, spelling and Grammar, as well as NAPLAN testing. I have also worked with children on the spectrum and catered for their abilities in the classroom and home tutoring. I am available to work with kids who live close to Manly.
I use maths interview assessments to identify specific learning gaps in numeracy. This is not a pen/pencil assessment. It involved manipulation of concrete materials and verbal interview questions. For literacy, I assess for alphabet code knowledge, phonemic awareness skills of blending, segmenting and manipulating sounds. Also I assess for comprehension skills using standardised reading tools. I cater for each student's unique needs in literacy and/or numeracy. After an initial assessment, lessons are created to target specific gaps/ strengths/ challenges that have been identified for the individual. A One Note document is created for each student. Parents/ caregivers may then share this with other professionals involved in the student's learning. Each One Note is a document of planning and formative weekly assessment/ portfolio of work covered. NB-Face to face and Zoom sessions available. If you are having your child formally assessed to determine a diagnosis, you may need assistance with questionnaire completion from your child's educator. This may be a range if individuals. Many homeschoolers see me for 2 sessions a week and manage the program independently between sessions. In this case you may require my input for initial paperwork. Price will be based on my time per...
