Our son enrolled for the selective school preparation classes earlier this year and found the weekly classes very helpful. The tutors were always well prepared and took time to clearly explain complex concepts. The materials were very structured, up to date and relevant. As parents, we were very happy to be kept well informed of our son's progress via online weekly updates. Our son also attended the mock exam and subsequent workshop conducted by Thuy Pham which provided extremely useful feedback re our son's strengths and weaknesses. As a result of these sessions, he was able to focus and further improve on key areas in the lead up to the selective school exam and was successful in obtaining a first round offer into the school of his choice. To Thuy, Elizabeth and the team at Spectrum Tuition, thank you! To parents who are seeking a structured, supportive learning environment for their children to improve or excel academically or work hard to get into a selective school or a scholarship, we would highly recommend Spectrum Tuition. - A. Nguyen, Parent of a Structured Thinker

While our daughter’s school teachers found her performance to be at the expected level, we realised that she was lacking motivation as she did not always feel challenged at school. The initial Spectrum assessment uncovered a range of concepts that were not fully understood therefore we decided to proceed with the Spectrum Tutoring not only help our daughter prepare for the exam, but also to help her further improve her school performance. What the tutoring classes have done for our daughter has been incredible and we are so grateful for all that Spectrum has done to make her feel she can achieve her goals in life. The transformation has been astounding and it is amazing what a difference regular tuition can have on a student. She has developed into a much more confident, independent and motivated student, which is more than what we ever hoped to achieve with tutoring. In fact, after completing the selective program, she has asked us to arrange to continue on with additional year specific Spectrum tutoring programs until Year 12 to keep up with the standard she has become accustomed to and she is truly excelling at school!” - Denis - Parent of a Reluctant Flame

Our daughter attended Spectrum Tuition for one term only prior to sitting the Selective Entry test. Our daughter really did enjoy her tuition sessions, learnt so much and was disappointed when they had finished. She also secured a place at the Selective Entry school of her choice. - Karen - Parent of a Quiet Quester

The selective English and Maths classes were very helpful to me, it allowed me to prepare for the exam thoroughly and it enabled me to get clarification on anything that I needed help with. The mock exam at the end also helped a lot. It let me get over the pressure and feel a lot more confident during the exam. Overall, this helped me achieve success through the Selective Entry High Schools Entrance Examination. - Steven, Student (Calm Commander)

We would like to thank Spectrum administration and tutors for their support, encouragement and help. - Alex, Parent of a Systems Thinker
