our proven methodology
small class sizes
we have very small sized classes with 8 or fewer students. this allows our educators to provide you with highly personalised feedback, to answer all your questions in a safe and nurturing environment at a speed that you can keep up with.
during the theory classes, students develop:
english
- their essay writing skills and textual synthesis of prescribed texts.
- creative writing techniques that can be adapted to various stimuli.
- understanding of NESA syllabus outcomes and technical analysis required for stage 4 english.
- the perfect examination technique when responding to a range of text types.
maths
- in depth examples of basic and more difficult example problems. the theory booklets will come with worked solutions for these examples, so students will have an easy to refer to study guide for upcoming exams.
- a focus on exam style questions. these often consist of several parts rather than a simple ‘solve’ style question often seen in textbooks.
- theory booklets come equipped with visual and graphical aids to help understand the problem being solved.
in addition to theory classes, students attend tutorials:
- tutorials are where students can correct their homework mistakes from homework booklets.
- students are also encouraged to bring in any school homework that they are struggling with.
each term, students receive:
- 190+ page theory workbooks provided weekly, in addition to homework workbooks and mock exams.
- for english, they all contain comprehensive analysis of texts and guidelines for perfecting essay and creative writing skills.
- for maths, they all contain comprehensive amounts of questions and worked solutions from past trial exams. these give our students an immense advantage over their peers.
- module exam at the end of each term, simulating their school exam.
- access to thousands of past exams papers on my-ed student portal.
- unlimited online access to my-ed which allows students to discuss problems with their teachers, watch educational videos, obtain worked solutions and homework answers.
homework commitment policy
each student is given a week to complete tasks from the homework booklet. we mark it and provide detailed feedback for any mistakes. students then attend tutorials to correct any errors, and we strongly enforce that they work on their homework until all answers are corrected and accepted by their teacher.
holiday programs
enrolments for our january 2021 school holiday programs are open now. learn ahead of the school term and use your time during school to revise. see our school holiday course programs.
