Selective school testing is conducted for students in year 6 going into year 7, who are looking to attend a selective school for high school. This testing can be quite overwhelming for some students, although our tutors are here to help students feel as prepared as possible before their testing!
Our online selective school preparation tutoring sessions are held over Google Meet or Zoom; whichever platform works best for the tutor and student. The video call format helps the student and tutor to build a relationship, and also allows for interaction between teacher and student through the use of a digital whiteboard and the ability to share desktop screens.
Our tutors can help students in the following areas, but not limited to:
- English: reading, writing techniques, spelling and grammar.
- Mathematics: all topics from geometry through to algebra.
- Exam tips
Our tutors will provide students with a resource folder when they begin their tutoring sessions which will include past exam papers and answers, study guide sheets and exam tips.
Students will be given homework after their sessions, unless the student is struggling with their workload and we are informed by a parent that homework isn’t required. Progress exams will be given to students to track how they are travelling with their content, and identify if there are any areas that should be revisited.
Our tutors can adapt to the student’s needs by going through the content at a speed that suits them. If the student is struggling with concepts, the tutor can slow things down to ensure the student has more time to understand; or if the student is excelling, the tutor can organise sessions to be faster paced.
