Renew learning is a specialised literacy centre catering to primary school aged students within the Macksville area and surrounds
Hello and Welcome!
Our tutoring services use a personalised, structured and evidence-based approach (Systematic Synthetic Phonics or SSP) to equip your child with the skills they need to read, write and spell effectively, filling the gap they are experiencing in their literacy.
Grounded in the Science of Reading, our tuition is highly effective for those with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dysgraphia or developmental language disorder (DLD) - as it is explicit, systematic, cumulative and multi-sensory. Our tuition is not only for those with a formal learning diagnosis it is also the best proven method for teaching all students to read and write.

Kate Colquhoun
Hi there!
I'm Kate Colquhoun, a specialised Sounds-Write trained educator with a background in education support and a local mum of three. I taught within the school system for 4+ years, assessing and teaching students in both 1:1 and group settings.
In my role as a support teacher and tutor, I’ve worked with a wide range of children, including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, intellectual delay and other learning challenges.
I have a passion for helping children achieve and master the gift of reading and spelling...So they discover and experience the joy of learning alongside their peers.
Creating positive relationships with students, parents and schools is of utmost importance to me when it comes to achieving success. I believe educating our children is a team effort!
I want to ensure that your child receives the personalised, effective, literacy support they need to become a confident learner.
I look forward to working with you and your child!
- Kate
