Our Services
Consultancy and Courses for Parents & Caregivers
Parents and caregivers of gifted children and adolescents often need support to navigate parenting. They also often require assistance to access appropriate education, and help to understand the unique and sometimes challenging behaviours and emotions of their gifted children and adolescents.
For parents and caregivers, Bright and Beyond provides:
-
one-on-one consultancy via Zoom appointments;
-
advocacy for you with the school, tailored to your needs;
-
small group, online courses in parenting gifted children.
​
Parenting gifted children can be a lonely journey. You don't have to do it alone. We are here to help.
Tuition, Courses and Mentoring for Students
Gifted students require qualitatively differentiated learning opportunities in contexts that support and extend their interests and learning needs. Learning must also support students' affective (social and emotional) needs. Sadly, many gifted students do not receive sufficiently differentiated and tailored learning opportunities.
​
For students, Bright and Beyond offers:
-
1:1 online tuition for highly, exceptionally and profoundly gifted students;
-
1:1 online mentoring sessions for highly, exceptionally and profoundly gifted students. These sessions may take the form of managing tricky behaviours such as big emotions, perfectionism, and procrastination.
​
All tuition, mentoring and courses are provided in a safe, fun and supportive online learning environment.
