We empower children with the early learning skills they need to thrive in the classroom
Learnful is a specialised tutoring and learning program in Brisbane, based in Coorparoo, designed to help children build strong foundational learning skills before Prep and throughout their early years of schooling.
Our purposefully structured 2-hour, teacher-led learning sessions support children aged 3–6 in developing early literacy, numeracy and school learning foundations prior to starting Prep.
Classes are intentionally kept small (maximum of 8 children) and are taught by highly experienced, bachelor-qualified Prep teachers, ensuring every child receives personalised support, explicit instruction and meaningful learning opportunities.
Learnful also offers 1 hour small-group literacy tutoring (maximum of 6 children) for Prep and Year 1 students, with a strong focus on phonics, reading and early writing development.
Our engaging, hands-on learning experiences are designed to help children feel capable, supported and excited about their learning journey.
Understanding your child's readiness for Prep learning
At Learnful, we understand that every child develops at their own pace. Our structured, teacher-led instructional classes provide children with valuable exposure to early literacy and numeracy learning experiences while helping families feel more informed and confident about their child’s transition to Prep. Through explicit feedback and regular communication, families gain a clearer understanding of their child’s engagement with Prep learning expectations and foundational literacy, numeracy and learning skills prior to starting school.

Meet our founder & lead teacher
Hi, my name is Nikki & I'm so excited to have you here!
Hi, I’m Nikki — a mum of two and a bachelor-qualified teacher with over 18 years of classroom experience.
After many years teaching Prep, I saw firsthand how much children benefit from gentle exposure to early classroom routines, literacy foundations and confidence-building learning experiences prior to starting school.
That’s why I created Learnful — a warm, small-group school readiness program designed to help children feel capable, confident and excited to learn.
With highly personalised support, engaging teacher-led learning experiences and intentionally small class sizes, Learnful helps children build strong foundations for a positive transition to school.
I’m so proud to support families during such a special stage of childhood and can’t wait to welcome you into the Learnful community.
A young child's early education and development lays the foundation for the rest of their lives, which is why giving a child the opportunity to prepare for their first year of formal learning (Prep) is so important.
