Q: Can we tutor subjects other than Maths & English?
A: Our tutors have a wide range of specialties so we are more than happy to discuss and let you know if we have someone available.
Q: What is a session like?
A: For students in years 3-7 we prepare lessons weekly based on the unit outline so we can help students revise, keep up with content and form good study habits.
Our high school students (year 8-12) bring in their own work each week that they would like help on, whether that is homework, assignments or going over a topic they want some more help with to boost confidence and enhance study habits.
These lessons also include prizes and lollies that our students earn each week from our points system.
Our sessions are 1 tutor to 2 students so there is lots of personal attention. We have found that this is the best set up for students as it allows them time to individually work on questions, without the pressure of us looking over their shoulder.
Q: Who are the tutors?
A: We are a group of university students who understand the school curriculum well as we have recently done it ourselves. Our tutors are in a variety of degrees such as science, engineering, law, psychology, teaching etc, that allows us to provide well rounded advice to our high school students and experience for our younger students.
We have been tutoring since 2020 and look forward to continuing!
