EDWORKS' TUTORING PROGRAMS

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

At Edworks' Centres, we offer Personal Programs for 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:

• 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
• Examination Format Familiarisation – familiarising students with the varied structure and expectations associated with Selective Entrance and Scholarship exams. [Please also see Edworks’ online Practice Exams & Skills Assessment.]
