Tutoring For Primary School Students

Zest Education Centre provides tuition for Years 1 to 6. Our qualified, engaging and caring teachers will support your child in a range of subjects and skills, giving them every opportunity to succeed. Our groups are small, with no more than 3 children per session.

Because we are not confined to any one form of teaching or learning, we are able to incorporate a combination of learning methods i.e. not computer only or paper only.

Before we begin, our teachers will assess your child to identify if they have any gaps, their strengths and any goals they are working towards. The information will be used to create a learning pathway for your child with ability-appropriate work. This information will also be sent to you so you will know where your child is at in relation to curriculum levels and content knowledge and skills.

Collaboration with parents is key, so we will also work with you in a coaching capacity to help your child make the most of their tuition lessons – which includes a summary after each session, so you can keep in touch with their learning journey. We will also reassess your child at regular intervals to provide you with updates on their progress, and recommendations.

We offer specialist services if your child is experiencing difficulties with their learning, such as processing information, or if they are a reluctant reader and/or writer.
