Tutoring presents many benefits and advantages to both students and parents. We have found that students request tutoring because of two main reasons:

Our tutors attend the lessons with the intent of encouraging the student to think for themselves, and to feel confident completing their assessments. During your first lesson, the tutor will aim to get to know you, understanding your personality, your learning style, your interests and your aspirations. They will then tailor their lessons according to your requirements. If you are unsure about what your requirements are, then make sure you advise the tutor and he/she will aim to work this out for you.

Our Get Smart Learning Early Primary Aged Programs are based on ages so it’s easy to find the class your child should be in. If you have previously attended our classes the colour tabs on the timetable are still the same.

Green is now 3 – 4 years old – our foundation class introducing children to a fun classroom environment and early learning concepts
Yellow is now 4 – 5 years old – perfect for children starting school in the following year
Orange is now 5 – 6 years old – specifically designed to support children in the first year of school

You can read more about our programs and find more detailed information on each program level HERE.

Class times are on your timetable. Each class is runs for 1 hour and children attend for a minimum of one class a week. Classes run to school terms.

Classes on average have six children and never more than 8 children with one teacher, to ensure individual attention for each child.

Yes! Your child is welcome to attend any of our classes offered each week for their age group.

Yes! Children all mature and learn at different stages if you feel your child isn’t ready for the next level they can stay at the level they are in. Our qualified teachers will be able to give you more advice on what stage your child is at and when they are ready to advance to the next level.

Please contact our office, we are often able to open new classes depending on demand or add you to our waiting lists.

Parents often have anxiety about whether or not their child is ready for school. Have a quick read of our checklist here or talk to our teachers about your child and how they will benefit from Get Smart Learning School Readiness Programs.

Of course, we want both you and your child to be absolutely happy with their tutor. This is vital to creating a harmonious and successful ongoing relationship with your tutor. So please, anytime you have questions or are not satisfied with your tutor (or any other aspect of your relationship with Get Smart Learning) we ask you to contact us to discuss the situation?

The choice is yours, as we do offer tutoring via Zoom or Skype and this is particularly useful for students in regional areas. We are also finding that a number of parents are opting for remote tutoring using Zoom currently, whilst we are experiencing Covid 19 and are complying with social distancing regulations. Traditionally the majority of our tutoring has been one on one in home, tutoring or face to face in one of our small group tutoring at our campus in Maroubra.

Parents consistently tell us how much their children love our Special Holiday Workshops. They are a wonderful way to cover specific areas such as fractions, percentages, times table, spelling, grammar and so on. These School Holiday Workshops really help in building your child’s confidence in areas that they may find challenges in currently. Building confidence and new understanding in these areas will dramatically boost their results at school, and often turn challenging subjects into successful ones!

We personally speak to at least three personal and three work experience referees prior to them joining us. We carefully verify each of our tutors credentials against publicly available online databases.

All our tutors have a valid Working with Children Check.

Should you have any questions regarding the qualifications, screening or experience of our tutors please send us either an email via the contact form or give us a call.

Here at Get Smart Learning we are achieving real results for each of our students. Meaningful results come from generally a change in attitude, a change in commitment, or a change in understanding as to why we need to go to school and why we need to succeed. Results are directly related to our tutor’s knowledge, experience, their ability to communicate effectively, and their desire to make a difference. Tutors need to engage and interact with students forming a special bond in the process.
