Speld Qld maintains a register of qualified specialist Teachers and Tutors who provide individual tutoring for children and adults across Queensland.

The majority of Speld Qld Teachers/Tutors are located in the Queensland metropolitan area, however, Speld Qld does have a number of tutors who work in regional areas or offer online tutoring services. Speld Qld Teachers/Tutors are appropriately trained in evidence-based teaching approaches designed to improve students’ literacy and numeracy skills and must attend ongoing Professional Development to remain listed as a Speld Qld Teacher/Tutor.

Speld Qld Membership is required to access tutoring or to become a Teacher/Tutor and the CEO and Corporate Services Manager monitors the service to ensure high-quality instruction is provided to students.

Financial Speld Qld Members can access the Speld Specialist Teacher Register to search and connect with our Speld Specialist Teachers/Tutors directly by email or telephone.

Families seeking to engage a Speld Qld Specialist Teacher/Tutor are encouraged to think flexibly when it comes to how your child will access the support of a Specialist Teacher/Tutor.  As the number of Teachers we have registered with us is limited, these uniquely skilled teachers are in high demand. 

Specialist Teachers/Tutors may offer tuition in any of the following ways:

• Face to face in their office or clinic
• Face to face in your home
• Face to face at your child’s school
• Online via live video web conferencing

Please keep an open mind and be prepared to explore possibilities with your teacher or tutor when they get in touch. Specialist Teachers are Members, not employees of Speld Qld, so the terms of sale are negotiated directly between families and teacher/tutors. Speld Qld provides access to the details of our recommended Teachers/Tutors, however, families must connect and then negotiate the terms of your tuition directly with the Teacher/Tutor.
