At Bodhi, our learners are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to creating a supportive, inclusive, and empowering learning environment where every student feels seen, valued, and equipped to succeed.

Whether you’re just starting your early childhood education journey or building on existing experience, we walk alongside you every step of the way—with practical, emotional, and academic support designed for real people in real-life situations.

One-to-One Tutor Support

From day one, you’ll be assigned a dedicated tutor who will guide you throughout your learning journey. Our tutors know every learner personally and are committed to your success—not just academically, but holistically.

You’ll receive:

• Individual feedback on assessments and key teaching tasks
• Regular check-ins and one-on-one Zoom sessions
• Prompt responses to questions, challenges, or concerns
• Encouragement and mentoring that supports your personal growth

We believe that strong relationships between learners and tutors create confident, capable educators—and our students consistently tell us they feel supported, respected, and never like “just a number.”

Cohort-Based Learning

At Bodhi, you’ll study within a small, close-knit learning cohort. This means you’ll build meaningful connections with others on the same journey and participate in weekly online forums and Zoom hui that foster tuakana-teina (peer-to-peer) learning and shared reflection.

We intentionally create space for collaboration, discussion, and collective growth—because we know that learning together strengthens everyone.

Academic Support

We offer practical tools and strategies to help you succeed with:

• Academic writing
• Time management
• Referencing and research
• Assessment preparation

Your tutor will provide personalised guidance and resources to help you develop the skills and confidence to complete written work at a high standard, even if it’s your first time studying at this level.

Pastoral Support

We understand that life doesn’t stop when you start studying. Many of our learners are also parents, caregivers, or working part-time. That’s why we take a compassionate, flexible approach—supporting you to balance study with everyday life.

We’re here to:

• Listen without judgment
• Adjust study plans where needed
• Celebrate your wins and support you through challenges

No matter what you're facing, you’re never alone at Bodhi.

Technical Support

Because Bodhi is an online provider, we make sure you’re fully supported to navigate our digital platforms with ease.

We provide:

• Orientation to help you get set up and confident online
• Ongoing guidance using our learning management system
• Help with video conferencing, document sharing, and accessing course materials

If you ever run into technical issues, our team is only an email or call away.

Support for Neurodiverse and Diverse Learners

We value and embrace diversity in all its forms. If you identify as neurodivergent or have specific learning needs, we’ll work with you to create a learning plan that supports your success. Our team can provide extra scaffolding, flexible timeframes, and learning accommodations to help you thrive.
