Supporting diverse learners to feel capable, confident and engaged in learning again!
At Think Bright Education, we offer personalised online learning support, student led projects for children aged 5 to 15, and mentoring and wellbeing support delivered by experienced teachers and mentors with training in wellbeing, psychology and trauma informed practice.
We work closely with families to support young people experiencing learning challenges, school anxiety, school avoidance or school can’t.
Meet Cristina and Think Bright Education
I’m Cristina, a passionate and empathetic educator with more than 15 years of teaching and leadership experience working with young people across Australia and internationally.
I’m also a step parent to two teenagers, which gives me a deep appreciation for the challenges young people and families navigate during the school years.
I founded Think Bright Education to create flexible, personalised learning support for young people who may benefit from a different approach to education.
Through Think Bright Education, I work alongside a team of highly skilled educators, counsellors and mentors who are passionate about supporting young people and their families.
Together we provide personalised 1:1 learning support, mentoring and student led projects for children aged 5 to 15. Our work includes early literacy and reading support, as well as confidence and emotional regulation support for diverse learners and young people who may be experiencing learning challenges, school anxiety, school avoidance or school can’t.
We also support families who are travelling, children who are learning through online schooling, or families seeking flexible learning options that better suit their child’s needs.
At the heart of our approach is relationship building, helping young people feel understood, capable and confident so they can reconnect with learning in ways that feel safe, meaningful and achievable.
The Three Pillars of Learning and Support
Learning Support (Ages 5 to 12)
Personalised learning support for students who need extra guidance with their learning. Sessions may include homework support, learning intervention and support aligned with a student’s Individual Learning Plan or reasonable adjustments at school.
These sessions are particularly helpful for students with dyslexia, ADHD or other learning difficulties, as well as those who benefit from alternative approaches to learning.
Our educators provide explicit teaching in literacy, numeracy and core learning skills to strengthen foundations and build confidence.
All sessions are delivered online by qualified teachers and align with the Victorian and Australian Curriculum where appropriate.
Student Led Passion Projects (Ages 5 to 15)
Passion Projects are designed for students who may feel disengaged from traditional learning, have low confidence or wish to explore their interests beyond literacy and maths.
Through creative, student led projects, young people explore their interests while building motivation, independence and a sense of achievement. Sessions focus on entrepreneurial thinking, real world problem solving and creativity.
Using a design thinking approach, students develop ideas into tangible projects such as a small business, product design, creative work or digital project.
Mentoring and Wellbeing Support (Ages 10 to 15)
One to one mentoring with an experienced educator, trauma informed counsellor or psychology trained mentor.
Sessions include regular check ins and explicit teaching of emotional regulation skills, helping young people develop strategies to manage challenges, build resilience and feel supported.
