Frequently asked questions

​​​

 

What does the assessment consist of?

 

The asssessments, with parent/caregiver present,

are free of charge, obligation free & take approx. an hour.

It begins with the student being asked

specific questions about their educational journey,

followed by the parent/caregiver being asked similar.

A quick, basic eyesight test follows,

leading into a maths, reading, & spelling assessment.

Results are then shared & discussed with parent/caregiver & student. 

Assessments can be booked either by phone or email

& are usually held on a Wednesday night at 6:30pm

​

​

How long is a session & what does it cost?

 

The weekly sessions are 80 mins. (1 hr. 20 mins.) and cost $55,

on the basis of weekly attendance over a full term

(or completion of the term if joining part way through.)

If spots are available it may be possible to make up

for a missed session at an alternate time.

Extra sessions possible by arrangement.

School and public holidays not charged for.

As the student's spot is held open solely for them

this fee is regardless of whether they attend or not.

​​

​

Is there homework?

 

Yes - most of the students (excepting the youngest ones)

will get  approx. 30 mins. worth of homework per week

- this keeps their learning fresh in their minds.

It is recommended to be done within a few days of their session,

leaving it until the last minute gets poorer results.

​

​

What resources do I have to supply?

 

Nothing - everything is included,

it is wise to give your child a snack before attending,

a hungry child finds it difficult to concentrate.

​

​

Can I book in advance for a later term?

 

Yes, there is a waitlist based on a first come, first served basis.

​

 

Why are B.E.C. fees lower than many other tutoring providers?

 

Being an independent business, rather than a franchise,

allows the Centre to keep fees low.

Word-of-mouth recommendations minimise advertising costs.​
