Our Story

The Learning Link - where every child’s way of learning shapes the way we teach.

Hi, I’m Sophia — a qualified teacher, mum of three, and passionate believer that every child deserves to feel understood, valued, and inspired to learn in a way that works for them.

As both a parent and educator, I’ve seen first-hand how differently children learn. One of my children needs to move and wiggle to stay focused, another needs calm and quiet, and the third lights up when they can ask “why” and explore big ideas.

But I also saw that these needs were often overlooked. The traditional, one-size-fits-all approach can leave children feeling anxious, misunderstood, or left behind.

That’s when I realised:
It’s not the child that needs to change — it’s how we teach them.

So I created The Learning Link — a place where learning starts with your child. We listen to what makes them tick, how they think, and what helps them shine. And we build everything around that.

Our Values

What we stand for at
The Learning Link

At The Learning Link, we are more than just educators — we are mentors, listeners, advocates and lifelong learners. We are united by a shared belief that every child deserves to feel capable, confident and celebrated in their learning journey. These are the values that guide everything we do:

Child-Centred Learning

We place the child at the heart of every session. Their interests, needs and emotional wellbeing shape the way we teach. Learning should never be a one-way street — we believe in co-creating learning experiences that feel relevant, engaging and empowering.

Inclusivity and Respect

We celebrate neurodiversity and embrace all learning styles, backgrounds and abilities. Every child deserves a space where they feel seen, heard and valued. Our team leads with compassion and respects each learner’s unique path.

⁠Collaboration with Families and Schools

We believe education is most powerful when we work together. By maintaining open communication with parents, carers and school staff, we ensure a consistent and supportive learning environment for each child — both in and out of the classroom.

⁠Flexibility and Creativity

No two days or learners are the same. We think outside the box to deliver lessons that are tailored, imaginative and adaptable. Whether through games, storytelling, art, movement or real-world connections, we make learning come alive.

⁠Professional Integrity

We hold ourselves to high standards in our teaching, our relationships and our continued development. Our tutors are qualified, experienced and passionate about making a real difference. We are committed to safeguarding and best practice in everything we do.

Growth Mindset

We encourage resilience, curiosity and confidence — not only in our learners but in ourselves as educators. We believe mistakes are part of learning and progress is something to be celebrated at every step.

At The Learning Link, our values are not just words — they are reflected in every lesson, every relationship and every child’s success story.

Our Belief

No two children learn the same way — and they shouldn’t have to. 

Whether your child learns best through play or structure, quiet or movement, art or conversation — we're here to follow their lead.

Because when a child feels safe, seen, and supported, they don’t just learn — they thrive
