How may we help you?
READING
Reading is the cornerstone of learning. After a detailed assessment, we identify specific strengths and weaknesses in your child’s reading.
Based on the results of this assessment, we tailor a programme aimed at eliminating impediments and providing a strong, phonetic based foundation for reading.
Our programmes cater for Pre-Reading, Remedial Reading for Primary and High School, and adults seeking Advanced Reading Skills.
ENGLISH
Formal Grammar and accurate spelling are the key to your child’s success. We focus on both.
We teach all the skills related to Correct Spelling, Comprehension, Creative and Essay Writing, and Grammar.
In order to emphasise the connection between Reading and Writing, we promote Lateral Thinking and we teach Etymology and Speaking Skills.
MATH
It is better to isolate and correct Maths problems, before they affect your child’s interest in the subject.
We teach Primary School Maths and High School Maths to HSC General.
