Relaxed & Friendly
Our Programs Are Tailored To Suit You
Year 1
It all starts here. Forming a solid foundation will help cement concepts learnt further down the track. Students in the early years of school will absorb everything like sponges; as such, they must be taught methods and techniques correctly. We will teach them how to study, learn new concepts, and work with ideas that are entirely unfamiliar to them.
Year 2
Preparation for the NAPLAN tests will now begin. Only two years into school, the students will be taking a national exam in one year, which will indicate where your child stands compared to the rest of the country.
We will work closely with your child to improve not only their school class material but also their general ability, math calculations, and advanced English skills.
Year 3
This is an important step in the students schooling path, the work and content that will be taught this year will be fairly more difficult than those learnt in years 1 and 2. On top of this, they will have to sit a national exam that is done by every student in Australia in year 3.
To help guide them through this period, we will provide personalised homework booklets and proven teaching methods to ensure they come out on top smiling!
Year 4
Now that your child has completed their first NAPLAN test, the school will have an idea of where your child lies compared to everyone else in their class. Up until this point in their schooling, their exam results haven’t played a significant role in determining which class they should be placed in.
During June/July, schools hold an exam for students to be placed in an “Opportunity Class” (Sometimes abbreviated to “OC”). If they excel in Year 5, they will be placed in a class with other students who have also performed well academically, which will give your child an excellent opportunity to gain entry into a state-selective school.
We will work with your child to develop problem-solving skills using our unique learning materials, which are not available anywhere else. Our materials are tried and proven texts that our team of tutors has developed. You can rest assured that our weekly homework booklets and “opportunity class” style exams, given every two weeks, give your child the boost they need.
Year 5
Year 5 is the most critical in terms of studies; think of it as the equivalent of the HSC for Year 12 students, which determines which University they may attend. At the beginning of Year 6 (March), students will sit a selective school exam, which will decide if they can attend an academically high-achieving school. As the exam is in early year 6, year 5, to an extent, becomes a preparation year. Along with helping your child with their school work, they will be provided unique content to boost their skills in:
1. Thinking Skills
2. Mathematical Reasoning
3. Reading & Writing
They will be provided with comprehensive content in class, as well as weekly homework booklets and exams in between. This will ensure your child is comfortable and familiar with the questions in their test, as they’ve likely done hundreds of similar questions throughout the year, giving them the confidence to come out on top.
Year 6
The initial part of year 6 mainly focuses on the selective school exams, where we will work with your child in boosting their skills in:
1. Thinking Skills
2. Mathematical Reasoning
3. Reading & Writing
They will be provided with comprehensive content in class, as well as weekly homework booklets and exams in between. This will ensure your child is comfortable and familiar with the questions in their test, as they would have done hundreds of similar questions all year, giving them the confidence to come out on top.
After this exam, your child will be prepared to take the next big step into high school, where the content in learning material increases vastly. They will need to develop basic algebra skills and be competent in fractions and problem-solving skills.
It’s a challenging and exciting year for everyone involved, and we are here to ensure your child gets every chance they can to achieve excellent academic results!
