FAQs
Everything you need to know about Synthesis.
1
Why should I choose Synthesis?
At Synthesis , we understand that each student is different. This is why your first session is free. During our first meeting, we'll work with you to develop a plan for the rest of the term, depending on your child's individual needs and goals. We encourage communication between sessions, so you can let us know if there's anything important that should be addressed next time. This way, we can tweak the plan to make sure it's right.

How do I know what my child is learning?
Our sessions are tailored to meet the Australian Curriculum. After a session concludes, your child's learning facilitator will provide a report highlighting what was covered, areas in which your child excelled or struggled, and recommendations for future sessions.
3
How are tutors and resources selected?
Our team at Synthesis Education are future, current, or past teachers, top-performing ATAR students, or others in the education sector. We prioritise quality, which is why our learning facilitators are carefully selected.
4
Will I get the same tutor every week?
We prioritise consistency for our students. In the event that your learning facilitator is unavailable, or if your schedule changes, simply reschedule with them once you're both available again.
5
What will I need for a session?
For 1:1 sessions, students don't need to bring anything along, as all materials will be provided. However, it's always good to come prepared with a few extra items that can be helpful for both the student and the learning facilitator. Consider bringing a subject term plan, calculator, or iPad to maximise the time spent in each session.
6
How much is tutoring?
The frequency and duration of sessions will depend on the goals and needs of the student. Some students opt for multiple sessions each week, while others prefer shorter or longer sessions. Generally, Prep - Year 6 students opt for 45 minute sessions, while older students choose longer sessions to work through heavier content. Please note that 45 minute sessions are not available for secondary school students.
7
Can I try a few sessions first?
We recommend trying out 2-3 sessions before deciding if this is right for you. During the first session, we will get to know your child by having a conversation with them, gauging their goals, and obtaining some baseline data about their learning. Then we will create a tailored plan for the remainder of the term.
