Welcome!

I'm Belinda, and Element is a long-held dream of mine, born out of a great love for learning and humans - both big and little humans alike. Learning, for me, is a privilege and something I have committed to for life.  We never stop. It opens a world of possibility, wonder, knowledge and empowerment.

Having taught in both the early years and primary school environments, I firmly believe all students can learn if we meet them where they are on the path. I could write a book on the things I have learned from my students; they are, ultimately, our greatest teachers. What I have learned (and indeed been shown over and over again) is that students will thrive when the environment suits them and when there is connection - and connection is needed in abundance.

At Element, we have created a calm space where learning and connection are the focus.  We get to know our clients first, we connect and then we teach. We learn and celebrate together. 

If this is important to you, here's a snapshot of my formal learning so far.

• Bachelor of Commerce, Deakin University

• Masters of Teaching (Primary), Monash University

• Macqlit certification (2021)

• Write To Read certification (2023)
