Build literacy, focus and confidence through the transition into high school (Years 7–8).

They’re capable — but the workload, pace and expectations are starting to overwhelm them.

If the move into high school has exposed learning gaps, we provide personalised, assessment-led support to stabilise skills, rebuild confidence, and restore independence. (Numeracy included if needed.)

Is this the right support for my child?

Is this your child?

Many parents contact us in Years 7–8 because the transition into high school hasn’t gone as expected.

They may be noticing:

increased homework stress or avoidance
difficulty keeping up with reading and written work
incomplete or rushed tasks despite effort
forgetting instructions, deadlines or materials
falling confidence or disengagement
comments like “I’m just not good at school”

These students are often capable and creative — but the volume and pace of high school exposes gaps that were previously manageable.

This is not a lack of effort.
It’s a learning-load issue.

Why Years 7–8 matter

Years 7–8 are a high-risk period for confidence.

Students are expected to:

manage multiple teachers and subjects
read and write more independently
organise time, materials and deadlines
retain and apply information more efficiently

When learning foundations aren’t secure, students can quickly feel overwhelmed or fall behind.

Addressing these challenges early in high school helps prevent long-term disengagement and allows students to rebuild confidence before expectations increase further.

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 student 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 students 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.

Next steps

If your child is struggling to keep up or losing confidence in Years 7–8, the next step is to check whether our support is appropriate.

The Fit Check takes around two minutes and helps you decide whether an assessment is the appropriate next step.
