About us

We understand how reading works — and how to teach it.

Hello Learners is run by a team of speech pathologists and teachers at Hello Kids Therapy Hub in North Melbourne.

Our story

We kept seeing the same thing in the clinic.

Bright children. Worried parents. And reading difficulties that nobody seemed to be addressing properly. At Hello Kids Therapy Hub, we saw it so often that we built a program specifically for it.

Reading isn't just about practice. It's about how the brain connects sounds to letters. When that system isn't working, more practice doesn't fix it. You need someone who understands the mechanism.

That's what we do at Hello Learners.

Small groups of 3 to 5 children. Led by our team of speech pathologists and teachers. Structured literacy, sound by sound.

The team

The people your child will work with.

Speech Pathologist

Darcie

Darcie founded Hello Kids Therapy Hub and built Hello Learners after seeing too many bright children struggle with reading without the right support. She runs the program because she knows how much the right help, at the right time, changes things.

Remy

Remy brings the careful clinical work to every group: finding which sound, which link, or which skill is missing, and knowing exactly how to strengthen it.

Sandy

Sandy brings the classroom eye: how reading is sequenced across a year, how to keep a child moving forward, and how to make a struggling reader feel capable again.

Our team brings together speech pathologists and teachers, all trained in structured literacy and working from the same evidence-based framework. Whoever your child works with, they're guided by a specialist who understands how reading works — and how to teach it.
