Who We Are

Helen - Director

“Build the child, the rest will follow.”

Helen came from a background that included being Head of Mathematics & Coordinator of Gifted and Talented Education, to work at our Centre in 2007 as a tutor in basic literacy & numeracy and Secondary Mathematics & Science, becoming Administrator of the business in 2012 and owner and Director in 2016.

Helen believes that students learn best when they feel good about themselves at whatever level of achievement they have attained.

Having long believed in the concept of multiple intelligences and that each child has their own unique learning style, she knows that given enough time and access to support, students can develop their confidence to the point where they can say they did it themselves.

Ashley

Ashley brings to our Centre both her personal love of learning and her determination to be able to support her students in their learning needs. She actively seeks to know each individual student, listening to them, so that she can come to truly understand who each child is and what their aspirations are for the future.

Having started at our centre in June 2021, Ashley brings both her skills from her Master’s studies in education as well as her talents from her Bachelor of Fine Arts, to assist her students in their studies across the curriculum.   

Hannah

"I enjoy being a teacher because I love being able to help people learn new skills and gain confidence in themselves and their own academic abilities. I’m here to support students in their academic growth and to help them enjoy learning.”

Hannah has been assisting our students with their studies across the whole curriculum, from early Literacy and Numeracy to senior students studying for QCE. Hannah brings the optimal range of qualities required to fully support Al Roberts Education Centre students in realising their potential particularly in their English studies, as well as in the Humanities, Mathematics and the Sciences.

Aaron

"For me, there is a special kind of joy that comes from seeing a student bridge that gap between feeling unsure in their abilities and becoming capable, independent learners. I strongly believe that is the true purpose of my work here: helping students to create that bridge through individualised rapport and support."

Aaron has joined our team having been a classroom teacher and Learning Support Teacher in both Primary and Secondary settings. Along with his experience in both the classroom and one-on-one tutoring, Aaron has worked with both intervention and extensions styles of developing literacy and numeracy. 

Catrin

"I enjoy seeing our students work towards gaining knowledge & understanding in Maths and English. I love seeing them have that Eureka moment as they gain confidence in themselves.”

Catrin comes from a history of 30 years within the IT industry. Nine years teaching school-aged students followed, along with a further ten years training adults within the industry environment.

Catrin is able to work with students experiencing learning difficulties, assisting them in learning and most importantly, learning how they best learn.

Shabnam

Shabnam has been assisting our students with their studies across the whole curriculum, from early Literacy and Numeracy to senior students studying for QCE. Shabnam brings the optimal range of qualities required to fully support Al Roberts Education Centre students in realising their potential particularly in their Maths and Sciences studies, as well as in the Humanities.



Committed to facilitating a nurturing learning environment, Shabnams’s goal is to motivate students to be driven by their own successes and accomplishments.

Kylee

"As a tutor, the thing that means the most for me is getting a student to that “Aha!” moment when their understanding drops into place and their confidence begin to bloom. This then becomes the foundation for their next success, and learning is transformed into a chase to conquer what previously seemed impossible.”

Kylee comes to us from an extensive academic background containing a wealth of experience that includes her time as a University tutor in professional and business writing at Masters level and teaching master’s students professional writing practice.

In her encounters with our students, Kylee brings her cheerful and open personality along with her strong critical reading and copy-editing skills to enable each child to feel fulfilled in their learning development.

Janene

"I enjoy working as a tutor as it provides me with the opportunity to share my knowledge with my students. It’s a great feeling knowing that I play such a vital role in my student’’s educational careers by providing them with the tools they need to succeed. I find it especially rewarding when a student is able to understand a challenging concept using strategies provided as it is a huge self-esteem booster for them.”

Janene describes herself as highly organised, motivated and goal oriented. Coming from an earlier background as an administration officer and customer service specialist, Janene knows the value of effective written and oral communication.

Janene brings both her skills from her studies in education as well over five years working with students supporting them in the development and learning in both literacy and numeracy. Her unique individualised approach makes every child in her care feel confident that they can learn to do it themselves.
