Tutoring

Our Tutoring

The biggest problem facing the Australian School System at this time is the ideology of rote learning. With each student expected to learn a set curriculum of facts, ideas, and theses, backed up by rigorous homework assignments to 'cement' their learning, the system has little to no flexibility.

The current rote system loads students with unrealistic amounts of homework and often undermines their faith in their own abilities because they are not able to retain the information they have been made to remember.

Large amounts of homework cause unnecessary stress for students. Unrealistic homework loads mean that students don’t have the vital decompression time they need to pursue hobbies or sports, listen to music, write, snooze; wind down from the academic demands of school. No student should be expected to be academically performing every moment they're awake - it’s detrimental to their physical and mental well being.

We aim to ease that workload and restore each student’s confidence in their own abilities.

We take a discussion based approach to all our tutoring.

This means that there are no worksheets or homework for students to complete. Instead we talk through the material and concepts in our sessions because, when a student can explain the concept in their own words, then they’ve successfully understood the material.

And when a student understands, rather than simply recalls, their retention rates go through the roof!

A student trusting in their own ability - in their brain's ability to understand and adapt - is the underpinning concept behind Beyond The Box Tutoring.

Our system allows students to interact, understand, and become passionate about their subjects and material.

We cater to all students:

The struggling, the high achievers, and the neurodivergent.

Some students may not work well in a classroom setting, but that doesn’t mean they are unable or unwilling to learn - merely that we should adjust to suit their needs.

If a classroom is too loud, or busy, or bright - we can create a space that is quiet; solitary; shaded.

If a classroom is too hot or too cold - our online sessions allow each student to create their own ideal learning environment within the security of their own home.

If a teacher is unable to explain concepts in a way the student can connect with, we can discover together an understanding of the content that the student can grasp and retain.
