Academic Intervention
School Readiness Programs
A 4 week specialist program for children entering their next big year of education. Is your child about to start kindergarten? Or, do you have an older child transitioning from Year 6 to High School?
Our transition programs help students confidently step into new educational stages. For young children entering kindergarten, we offer engaging activities that familiarise them with classroom routines and foundational topics, reducing anxiety and making the transition exciting.For students moving to secondary school, our program focuses on time management and organisational skills, with workshops that introduce high school subjects and help students plan and prioritise effectively.
Overall, we aim to support students in both primary and secondary school transitions, fostering readiness and confidence in their new learning environments.
Private Tutoring
Private tutoring sessions are tailored to your child’s needs, supporting their current progress and school syllabus. For primary students, this might include strengthening numeracy and literacy skills or reinforcing lessons from their teacher’s weekly programs. Secondary students can receive help with time management, assessment planning, and revision, or get a head start on upcoming material. Molly will coordinate with the school and teachers to align tutoring with their in-class learning.
Private Intervention
A customised learning plan to target the content and resources that best support your child’s goals. Our clinic offers a flexible, sensory-rich environment, free from traditional classroom constraints, to accommodate different learning styles and interests. Starting in February 2025, Molly, who is accredited by the Institute for Multisensory Language Education (IMSLE) will provide specialised support for children with dyslexia or ADHD, enhancing their language and literacy development. This approach fosters confidence, a sense of belonging, and tailored academic support.
Group Intervention
Our Numeracy and Literacy Intervention Groups cater to children needing more intensive support, such as those with IEPs or learning difficulties. Tailored to each child’s progress and interests, these groups provide age- and ability-specific sessions designed to foster a love of learning. While focusing on a shared curriculum, each child’s work is differentiated to suit their unique needs. Grouped sessions offer a flexible, supportive environment that encourages individual growth and engagement.
