Build strong literacy, focus and confidence before high school
(Years 5–6).
They’re capable — but school is starting to erode their confidence.
If NAPLAN raised concerns, this is a sensible time to act.
We provide personalised assessment-led support so your child can strengthen the foundations they’ll rely on in high school. (Numeracy included if needed.)
Is this your child?
Many parents contact us in Years 5–6 because they’re noticing patterns like:
- Reading is slow, effortful, or avoided
- Spelling and writing don’t reflect verbal ability
- Instructions are forgotten or completed out of order
- Homework takes far longer than it should
- Confidence drops after tests or feedback
- NAPLAN results don’t match what you know your child is capable of
These children are often bright and creative — but they’re working much harder than they need to.
This is not a motivation issue.
It’s a learning-foundation issue.
Why Years 5–6 matter
Years 5–6 are a critical window.
NAPLAN often highlights gaps in:
- reading efficiency and comprehension
- spelling and written expression
- working memory and attention
- organisation, sequencing and time awareness
If these foundations aren’t addressed now, the demands of high school can amplify frustration and self-doubt.
Addressing them before Year 7 allows children to enter high school with stronger skills, greater independence, and renewed confidence.
Our approach
We don’t offer generic tutoring.
Our work is assessment-led and personalised, designed to strengthen how your child learns — not just what they practise.
We support visual and creative learners by:
- using visual and tactile strategies to strengthen working memory
- teaching literacy through meaning, imagery and structure — not rote memorisation
- addressing attention, focus and follow-through in practical ways
- building executive-function foundations such as time, order and sequencing
- supporting confidence so learning becomes sustainable, not stressful
Numeracy support is included where appropriate and taught for understanding rather than rote learning.
Why we start with an assessment
Every child who joins our programs begins with an assessment.
This allows us to:
- confirm whether our approach is suitable
- identify the specific foundations that need strengthening
- recommend the level of support that will genuinely make a difference
We do not place children into programs without this clarity.
Assessment protects outcomes and ensures support is appropriate, not generic.
Assessment fee: $330.
Program structure and pricing
Following assessment, we recommend the level of support that best suits your child’s needs.
Options may include:
- 1 day per week — $300/week
- 2 days per week — $500/week
- 3 days per week — $650/week
A minimum of 5 attendances applies.
Missed days may be made up when availability allows.
Placement is guided by assessment and cohort availability.
