I’m the founder and lead teacher at Brisbane Tuition, where I’ve created a learning environment that is soft, engaging and deeply supportive.

I have spent almost 20 years teaching in schools.

Hi, I’m Camilla,

Carina primary school tuition

I have worked across all primary school year levels, as a classroom teacher, an EALD teacher, a literacy coach and, most recently, as head of curriculum. I advocate for every day and I work hard to reinforce the incredible work they do in the classroom.

After nearly two decades of teaching and leading, I’ve now found a new joy in giving students the calm learning space and undivided attention they deserve.

I am passionate about building the confidence and skills children need to navigate, and thrive, in our literacy-filled world.

I always know what my son is working on and why. He genuinely enjoys coming each week, which is not an experience we have had before.
