What can my child expect on their first lesson at Coaching Guru?
ASSESSMENT On the Previous years
The first class includes the assessment based on the previous year for all the subjects a child is getting enrolled for namely English, Maths & or Science.
So, if a child is enrolling for the Year 5, the child will be tested for Year 1- year 4 & same on a prorata basis.
Based on the above assessment child will be doing Fundamentals of Mathematics(FOM), Fundamentals of English(FOE) & or Fundamentals of Science(FOS) for all up to leading to the current year of joining.
The work your child undertakes at Coaching Guru may be more difficult than your child’s regular work at school. Your child may find the work challenging to begin with.
Do not be afraid to ask the tutor for assistance. Your child will become familiar with the work requirements throughout the term. You and your child may also make use of our free Student Support Services such as the Homework Support via the Student Login, Homework telephone line and drop-ins at participating campuses and at differing times. Please consult your Campus Directors for service availability and times.
What kind of tutors do you hire?
All of our tutors have current Working with Children Checks. Our tutors are highly enthusiastic and experienced.
All of our tutors have undergone our own further training programs that have been developed in conjunction with the Western Sydney University.
Our tutors set high goals for the students so that excellent results can be achieved. Some of our tutors are external examination markers. They approach teaching in a highly professional manner ensuring thorough coverage of content and constructive feedback on homework assignments.
What are the methods you use to teach students?
We use a “face-to-face” teaching methodology encouraging creativity and lateral thinking. We use both open ended and closed questioning techniques to assist students in extending the knowledge of relevant concepts. The students are given a set of quality course materials every lesson. Our tutors will use 2/3 of the time teaching key concepts and examples. The remaining 1/3 of the lesson will be used for guided exercises to ensure students fully understand the topic being taught for the lesson.
How do you keep me updated on my child’s progress?
The tutors will write a Progress Report for each student at the end of each term. You will be informed of how your child has performed in the term. The tutor will also nominate the best and most improved student in the class for the appropriate certificates and trophies as encouragement.
Will my child improve when they start coaching?
The degree of improvement will depend on your child’s commitment to his studies and his current level of skills and knowledge. You will be able to discuss your child’s improvement with the tutor after they have been attending classes for a few weeks. You will also receive report cards each term to help you track improvement.
Since our courses are usually more demanding than the work your child may be doing at school, he/she may require some time to adjust to our system before you see the improvement.
