Year 5 Tutoring

Frequently asked questions

Are your tutors qualified?

Yes, all of our tutors are qualified and have been through a rigorous selection process, with excellent grades and above all, an ability to teach and communicate effectively. They also all hold valid Working With Children Checks.

Can your Year 5 tutoring services help my child become more confident with public speaking or classroom presentations?

Yes! Our Year 5 tutoring can include support with oral presentations, speech writing, and public speaking techniques. We help students practice delivery, structure their thoughts clearly, and speak with confidence—skills that are often needed for classroom projects and future leadership roles.

Do you offer any preparation for Year 5 students who will be taking school-based assessments or external exams in the future?

Absolutely. We offer targeted tutoring to prepare for school-based assessments and selective entry or scholarship exams. Our tutors cover test-taking strategies, time management, and review core subjects to ensure your child feels prepared and confident.

How does your Year 5 tutoring help students with the transition from more creative, open-ended learning to structured academic tasks?

We understand this transition can be challenging, so we teach students how to balance creativity with structure. Our tutors help bridge this gap by guiding students in planning essays, solving multi-step problems, and working within academic frameworks—while still encouraging expression and critical thinking.

How do you handle students in Year 5 who struggle with motivation or feel overwhelmed by the increase in academic demands?

Our tutors are trained to recognise when a student is feeling disengaged or overwhelmed. We break learning down into manageable goals, incorporate student interests, and use positive reinforcement to keep students motivated. By creating a supportive learning environment, we help students rebuild confidence and re-engage with their education.

How do you measure the effectiveness of Year 5 tutoring, and how do you keep parents informed about their child’s progress throughout the tutoring program?

We use ongoing assessments, tutor notes, and progress check-ins to measure effectiveness. Parents receive regular updates outlining what’s been covered, how their child is progressing, and areas we’re focusing on next. Communication is key, and we ensure you're always in the loop.
