With over 14 years experience, we provide affordable tuition services that are relevant and that work.

TESTIMONIAL:

"If you are considering an additional study support, Spectrum Tuition is an amazing place to be. The teachers are great, knowledgeable and very passionate about imparting sound knowledge. These have assisted me in building my confidence levels. Through the weekly homework, I get more engaged; challenged to learn and understand new concepts. Within a very short period of my starting at Spectrum Tuition, I feel more happy about my performance in school." - Damilola Aibinu, Student

Since 2001, Spectrum Tuition has established itself as the number one choice for group tutoring in Melbourne. We take a logical and systematic approach to helping your child achieve their goals.

Step 1: We take the time to understand what students need through our FREE initial assessment and consultation session (approximately 2 hours). This assessment tests material over several year levels in order to pin-point precisely which level your child is at.

For example, if your child is in Grade 6, we will give her the Grade 5 to Year 8 assessment to identify her specific level.

Step 2: Based on these results, we will design a personalised timetable outlining the most suitable classes to address your child's needs.

Step 3: Students will join classes where a well trained instructor will TEACH the material at their level and guide them through the exercises and activities to ensure they are confident to complete the homework tasks independently. Processes are implemented to check for understanding and follow up any incomplete or incorrect work.

Step 4: The following week, students are assessed on the previous week's work with results posted online so improvements can be tracked overtime. Our course books are carefully designed and structured, and material is based closely on the latest Australian curriculum documents. Concepts are built on steadily from the previous week to ensure gaps are filled and mastery is achieved.

TESTIMONIAL:
"We were deliriously ecstatic when our son was accepted into all three accelerated programs! Even today my son credits this to the tuition (Scholarship program) he received at Spectrum and the additional help he received from Thuy. After he finished the Scholarship program, we were very surprised when he asked whether he could continue general tuition classes at Spectrum because he enjoys the classes and the challenge they provide. I would have never dreamed that my son would give up his Saturdays to attend English and Maths classes but I think he has realised the benefits of quality education and resultant gains. Even his primary school teachers have made comment on his academic progress in the classroom. Our experience with Spectrum has been so positive, that my second son is currently in the Scholarship program and we are confident he is getting every opportunity to achieve pleasing results when he sits the exams for entry into a SEAL program in 2016." - Dr. Maureen Vincent, Parent

TESTIMONIAL:

"We are very happy with the entire service provided by Spectrum. The fact that our son was able to take in so much in a relatively short period of time, from subject matter, examination tips and study preparation. He was successful in his aim to gain entry into his choice of school and now has the best opportunity to achieve his goals in life. We believe it was his time with Spectrum Tuition which made the difference and we are very grateful for all they did for Daniel." Daniel Rogers, Parent

For most students, the duration of the assessment will be approximately 2 hours.

The assessment will test your child on material not only at their current year level, but also on the level just before and after to determine your child's actual ability level. It is through this process that we will truly be able to find the program that will suit your child's individual needs and give you honest advice to help them achieve their educational goals.

While your child is completing their assessment, one of our friendly staff will personally walk you through our program from how we structure classes, what our course materials look like for your child's specific subject and year level, and also how to use our online system.

Following the assessment we will spend time with you discussing your child's progress and give you a clear picture of your their current abilities in reading comprehension, writing, spelling, vocabulary and mathematics.

Whether your child is ahead, needs to catch up with their studies, or you feel your child just needs that extra nudge, we have a suitable program to help you get the results you are looking for. Book your FREE assessment today!

TESTIMONIAL:

"Attending Spectrum helped me a lot. The classes were very organised and enjoyable in a way that helped me learn easily as well as having fun. The teachers were kind and easy going, but strict on the amount of work we had to do. Spectrum also helped me achieve my dream of getting a Scholarship and I would like to use this opportunity to thank all my teachers, especially Thuy who helped me go from someone who had never written a narrative before to a person who loves and enjoys writing." Ana Gakovic, Grade 6 student
