My name is Beatrice Burg and I am the Founder and Director of World Wide Learning Academy.

After 25 years in the Education system as a Primary School Teacher, teaching all year levels 1-7 and ESL (English Second Language) teacher, I decided children struggling to read in the classroom was unacceptable, and in 2000, I left the Education system to begin privately tutoring students with a structured literacy approach.

“Structured Literacy, an explicit, systematic, and multi-sensory approach that teaches the connection between sounds and letters. Programs should be intensive, individualised, and started as soon as reading difficulties are noticed, rather than waiting for a formal diagnosis.”
Mission Statement from Dyslexia Association of Australia

My training included:

  • Teaching Students with Dyslexia (levels 1-3)
  • Certification as an Irlen Diagnostician, member of Australasian Association of Irlen Consultants and Irlen Regional Director from the Mid to North-West of Western Australia, travelling almost 12,000km each year around the north-west of Western Australia helping children and adults with learning difficulties.
  • Trialling and setting up an Online Classroom to reach students in Australia and worldwide.
  • 10 years as a Registered Private Tutor and a professional member of Dyslexia SPELD in Perth, Western Australia (www.dsf.net.au)

As a mother of two and now grandmother to seven gorgeous grandies, teaching and working with children for so many years has helped me develop a vast range of practical, hands-on experience and knowledge of modifying the teaching method to the way the child learns.

I researched and used many resources and found there were a few that produced consistent results for most of my students. COVID put a stop to the travelling, so I decided to provide the resources on my website, so that parents and schools had an easy (and Australian) option to replenish their supplies.
