Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a registered primary school teacher, artist and Sounds-Write trained practitioner, and I’m the person behind Hannah’s Paper Daisies.

I’ve always loved the combination of learning and making. I love painting, drawing, sewing and knitting, and I’ve long been drawn to the comfort and imagination found in picture books. One of my long-term goals is to write and illustrate a picture story book of my own.

The idea behind Hannah’s Paper Daisies, is to offer a calm, encouraging learning and creative space for primary-aged children. I created this little learning space because I know that children don’t all learn in the same way, and that some need a quieter environment, a little more time or a different approach to feel comfortable and make progress.

My aim is to get to know each child as an individual, discover what helps them learn, and provide a space where they can ask questions, explore ideas and build confidence at their own pace.

Alongside my teaching and creative work, I’m also a proud member of the Australian Tutoring Association.

How I Teach

I believe children learn best when they feel comfortable, understood and able to ask questions without worrying about getting things wrong.

I tailor sessions to each child, building on their strengths and adjusting my approach when something isn't quite making sense. Sometimes that means slowing down and talking something through; sometimes it means drawing, making, playing with words or finding a completely different way into an idea.

My aim is simple: to help children develop their skills while also building the confidence to have a go, make mistakes and discover that they are capable learners.
