Our Story
It's important to find an environment that will help nurture your growth, development, and set the stage for future learning.
​
Wise Owl Learning is a virtual learning environment dedicated to supporting a wide range of learning challenges. In addition to our specialized tutoring services, we offer computer classes, a variety of workshops, and an extensive selection of courses to meet diverse educational needs.
​
At Wise Owl Learning, we don’t see learning disabilities as limitations, but as unique learning challenges. Our approach is centered on ensuring that each student is recognized for their individual strengths rather than their diagnosis. We provide a nurturing support system that encourages personal growth, guiding every student on their own educational journey.
​
Founded by entrepreneur Alyssa Hanbidge, Wise Owl Learning is based in County Wexford and offers tailored tutoring services to children and adults with learning difficulties.
Alyssa is also the founder of The Wise Owl Collective, where she brings her expertise as a certified mindfulness practitioner and holistic therapist into the learning environment. This integration promotes not only academic success but also emotional and mental well-being.
​
Since its establishment in 2020, Wise Owl Learning has been warmly embraced as an essential service, particularly during the pandemic. Our online platform continues to serve as a vital resource for those seeking a supportive and holistic approach to learning and personal development.
The Learning Specialist Tutor works with students across a range of needs,
from dyslexia to dyscalculia and more. While also teaching IT skills to
children and adults specially designed courses in a constantly developing
and changing field.
​
​
Wise Owl Learning was awarded Specialist Tutoring Service of the Year
2021/22 and Special Tutor of the Year 22/23 in the Republic of Ireland
Prestige Awards.
We are incredibly honored and delighted to have been nominated in such a
strong category. To be the overall winner was a joyous occasion.
A short extract from the Prestige Award Judges:
"The judges were particularly impressed by the inclusive and personalised
approach adopted by Alyssa, who works hard to develop a programme of
studies that is unique for every student. Why is our learning is all about
providing a supportive and confidential service which takes away the need
for students to adapt to previously accepted schemes of work at resources.
Instead, Alyssa acknowledges her students disabilities and creates a l
earning programme based upon their specific learning needs.
As her business continues to expand, Alyssa hopes to launch an online
training Academy in IT over the next year, while seeking to help more
students with a wider range of complex learning disabilities."
