FAQs

At Synthesis , we understand that each student is different. This is why your first session is free. This is when we'll work with you to work out your child's individual needs and goals, and develop a plan for the rest of the term. We encourage communication between sessions, so you can let us know if there's anything important that should be addressed at the next session. This way, we can tweak the lesson plan to make sure it's right.

Our tutoring sessions are tailored to meet the Australian Curriculum. After a session concludes, the tutor will provide a report highlighting what was covered, areas in which the student excelled or struggled, and recommendations for future sessions.

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 tutors are carefully selected.

We prioritise consistency for our students. In the event that your tutor is unavailable, or if your schedule changes, simply reschedule with your usual tutor once you're both available again. 

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 tutor. Consider bringing a subject term plan, calculator, or iPad to maximise the time spent in each session.

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 usually 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.

We recommend trying out 2-3 sessions before deciding if tutoring 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. 

Send Emma an email at info@synthesiseducation.com.au. Include your location, your child's tutoring requirements, and your preferred days and times. One of our tutors will then be in touch!
