EDWORKS' TUTORING PROGRAMS

NAPLAN, SCHOLARSHIP AND SELECTIVE ENTRANCE EXAM PREPARATION: GRADES 3 & 6; YEARS 8 & 10

At Edworks' Centres, we offer Personal Programs for NAPLAN, private school Scholarship Preparation, preparation for entrance to Accelerated Programs and secondary schools such as Melbourne High School and MacRobertson Girls’ High School.

Such positions are highly coveted. In thoroughly preparing students for these exams, therefore, Edworks teaches innovative, exam-related skills and strategies important for success.

There is no rote learning. Edworks’ innovative skill building take students beyond the practice effect of exams and the classroom. Here, greater awareness and understanding, rather than meaningless automatic responses, is central to learning. In exam situations and beyond, this offers Edworks’ students an edge to set them apart from their peers. Key topics include:

	Practice Exams – an extensive range of Practice Exams specially designed to familiarise students with the varied structure and expectations associated with NAPLAN, Scholarship and Selective Entrance exams. [Please also see Edworks’ online Practice Exams & Skills Assessment.]
	Essay Writing – including issue-based and creative essays incorporating structure and projecting personality
	Advanced Comprehension – developing Active Reading Skills and identifying those skills appropriate for the task at hand
	Problem Solving: Mathematics – utilising Edworks’ ‘7 Steps to Problem Solving’ as part of the structured thought process
	Logic and Reasoning – developing lateral thinking and deductive reasoning into a repertoire of advanced skills and strategies

Scholarship Information Pack
Edworks is pleased to offer a scholarship information pack (PDF 356kB) regarding the format, schools and timing of the ACER and EDUTEST scholarship exams. Additional information can be gained by contacting the schools that your child wishes to sit for. Parents need to be aware that a number of the exams occur in February which often means that they fail to register on time and do not have sufficient time for preparation. Edworks encourages parents to tell friends who may be intending to sit the exam in the future of the early exam times.
