Steady Minds Learning · Homework Help in Perth, WA

Homework shouldn't cost you the evening.

I help turn what you already know about your child, and whatever the school or allied health team has given you, into something that actually works at the kitchen table.

No diagnosis? Mid-assessment? Still waiting on reports? All fine. You just need to be able to tell me what homework night looks like at your place.

15 years teaching, 7 in learning support, and a mum of two.




Nobody appointed you the case manager. It just landed.

The reports, the plan, the meetings, and then the homework fight every night on top of it.You don't want to be the homework police, and most nights the fight isn't even about the work. It's that there's no entry point. Not too hard. Just too hard to start.The twenty-minute task that takes three hours.
Telling them to study harder, watching them do it, and still getting the same mark.
Raising your voice at 8pm, then lying awake at 11 feeling awful about it.
The folder in the kitchen drawer that explains everything and helps with none of it.
None of this means you've got it wrong. You were handed documents written to inform professionals about your child, and you're the one googling how to use them at 7pm on a Tuesday.

The standoff ends because the starting does.

"We have a much better understanding of how to support our son, not just what he has to do, but why it works." — Catherine, Year 8 parent

Three things I promise

  1. It will make sense
    No jargon, no acronyms you have to look up. If I use a word from the report, I’ll tell you what it means so next term’s report makes sense too, not just this one.

  1. Less of it will fall on you
    You've got enough. The tools carry the structure, so you're not the one holding it together every night.

  1. You can use it this week
    Not a plan for next term. Something your child can start with now.

Three ways in. Pick based on what you need.

1. One tool - $180
You know exactly what’s needed - a scaffold for an assessment that’s due, or an organiser for exam block. One thing, translated from your child’s report, ready this week.

2. A Consult - $150 + travel time
You’re not sure what’s needed yet. We sit down with your child’s report together, work out what it means for home, and you leave with a written summary and next steps.

3. The Homework Starter Kit - $450
You want it all handled at once: homework plan, study organisers, an assessment scaffold, and a summary. All translated from your child’s paperwork, delivered in three working days.

Book a One Tool or Consult first and the cost comes off the Kit if you upgrade within 60 days.

The Homework Starter Kit

Built for one child, from their own paperwork.

Send me what you’ve already got. Three working days later, you get back a set of tools your child can actually pick up and use.Not a template with their name swapped in. Not a plan you have to implement. Things that sit on the table and get used.$450 · Three working days

What you get back

1. A homework plan

Built from what the report already says about how your child works, not a generic checklist. What order to do things in, how long each part should take, where the stopping points are.

2. Study organisers & visual aids

The strengths and strategies named in the paperwork, turned into something they can pick up the same week. One page, no set-up, no new app to learn.

3. An assessment scaffold

A scaffold for a task that’s due now, or one built for the type of task they find hardest, translated from the language of the report into steps, in the order your child would do them.

4. A one-page summary for you

What the paperwork means for the way your child works at home, so what happens at your kitchen table complements what’s already being done at school.

How it works

1. Get in touch

Book a free 15-minute call to chat about what’s happening and I’ll tell you honestly whether a kit is the right thing, or if I think it isn’t.

2. Payment and paperwork

I’ll send a payment link and a secure upload link for your child’s documents. Send whatever you’ve got, or fill in a short form instead.

3. Three working days later

Your kit arrives as PDFs, by email. Ready to use that night.

"Alana gave us the clarity we needed. She was responsive and followed up with clear, practical tools and advice. I highly recommend this service for support during difficult times.” — Jasmine B


Your child's paperwork

You're about to send me documents about your child. Here's exactly what happens to them.They stay with me. I don't contact your school at all. Nothing is shared with your child's teachers or anyone else.They're stored securely. Google Workspace, with two-factor authentication on my account and password protection on the documents themselves. I'm the only person with access.I keep them so you don't have to start again. Most families come back at the next report or plan review. Holding what you've already sent means you're not re-sending the same folder in eighteen months.You can send less. Remove your child's name first - I can work from a redacted copy. Or skip the documents entirely and fill in a short form about what's happening at homework time instead.No formal report yet? That's fine. Plenty of families come to me pre-diagnosis, mid-assessment, or still on a waitlist. Describing what's going wrong is enough to build from.You can ask for a copy of what I hold, or ask me to delete it, at any time.


I've been on both sides of that kitchen table.

I've spent over fifteen years teaching in secondary schools, and the last five as the coordinator who writes learning plans and case manages the students they're written for.I'm also the parent of two neurodivergent children. I've sat with the same reports at my own kitchen table, at the end of a long day, trying to make sense of what any of it meant for the next morning.A friend understood her son's report perfectly. What she couldn't work out was what to do differently at home. Then another asked the same thing. Turns out everyone had a folder, and nobody had a translation.That's really how this began - one folder at a time.I write these documents for schools. I live them at home. That's why I can tell you what yours means when it's time to start Tuesday night's homework.


Background

  • Graduate Diploma of Education (UWA)

  • Registered teacher, TRBWA

  • Fifteen years teaching in WA and NT secondary schools

  • Seven years in learning support, five as a coordinator

  • Current Working With Children Check

  • Perth-based, working with families across WA


I work alongside, not instead of

A tutor re-teaches the content. An OT or psychologist gives you strategies that work outside the classroom. An advocate helps you push the school.All of it is useful. None of it builds the thing your child is actually holding at 7pm so they can start their homework.If you're already seeing someone, bring what they've given you. It only makes the kit better.


"Alana is one of the most intelligent and genuinely caring teachers I've met. Her experience, insight and compassion shine through." — Rosemarie, teaching colleague




Start a conversation

No obligation, no pitch. Tell me what's happening at homework time and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help, including if I think I can't.A few lines about what's going wrong is enough to start. You don't need to have anything ready, and there's no version of this where I think you should have got here sooner.I'll answer within two working days.
