“Individual programs are designed and tutoring is 1:1 in an environment where a child is holistically and individually catered for,” Nicole said.

In 2012 TALC was identified as the only business in the ACT region offering a programme specifically for students with these educational and behavioural needs.

“We love being part of the Ainslie community and the Ainslie Traders Association – and look forward to growing our business and providing our services for a long time to come,” Mary-Anne concluded.
