This period is vital for laying a strong foundation in selective exam concepts, question types, and strategies.

Under the guidance of Mr. Steve, our Selective & Scholarship Writing Expert, Ms. Anastasia, our thinking skills specialist, and Scholarly 99.95 ATAR tutors students will explore:

• Writing Mastery with Mr. Steve: These sessions will sharpen narrative and persuasive skills, focusing on creativity and a step-by-step formulaic approach that sets students’ writing apart. Steve’s unique method enhances topic engagement and structures writing clearly, supporting a mastery of grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary. His teaching transforms ordinary writing into standout pieces, instilling the confidence to excel. Particularly beneficial for scholarship exams, where writing carries significant weight. Many students trained by Steve consistently score in the highest percentiles in Selective.
• Thinking Skills with Ms. Anastasia: Ms. Anastasia’s classes directly address the toughest parts of the selective exam: logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and complex problem-solving. Students often struggle with these due to their abstract nature and the precision required. By breaking down these concepts into simpler steps and providing clear rules, she helps students master the skills necessary for a high score. Her approach effectively prepares students for the most challenging and heavily weighted sections of the test.
