I just wanted to drop you a little note to say, “You were right!”
Cameron was assessed as top of his class for maths and they’d ticked the box stating that he was performing “well above standard” and at end of Year 5 level. According to the school, Miranda is right on track for her Year level, Yr 2. I’ve no doubt that your work with them has helped them significantly in the classroom and thank you again. Karina
Thank you so much for your kindness, patience and understanding with Chloe, as you have worked magic with her. You have given her such a sense of 'self belief' and working through that initial math's nightmare has been a great life experience for her. She has such a positive attitude towards it all now. It's been great. Thankyou so much John, we are so very appreciative as I am not sure where we would have been without you at this point. Amanda
I think Brainworks has assisted my daughter in a huge way. It has strengthened her foundation skills in mathematics, logic and built her confidence. It has increased her ability for creative expression, and picked up on her gaps and worked on them. I think Brainworks has facilitated more than the optimum from their teaching. Thank you for bringing out the confidence in my daughter. My work was made easier through Brainworks!! Anu
I have been associated with Brainworks for over 2 years with my 2 sons. It is by far superior to any other tutoring I have tried. My sons' strengths and weaknesses were identified and an effective individual programme was commenced. They have both been extended to their true abilities under the programmes with encouragement all the way. I highly recommend it to any student. C. Drew
Core Maths Skills
The Foundation curriculum covers core skills that enables students to confidently manipulate numbers, understand principles of maths and symbols. The scaffolded curriculum, a curriculum that builds upon prior knowledge, gradually builds full understanding of skills, allowing them to successfully complete their work.
Students can take risks, complete work and make errors in a totally non-judgmental and supportive environment. Their work and errors are followed up and explained, resulting in a huge boost in confidence, leading to significantly better outcomes.
Students are assessed for their current abilities and then work through an individualised program to meet their needs. Constant guidance, teaching and feedback is given throughout their program. There is a strong emphasis on methods and processes and every piece of work completed by a student is followed up.
Brainworks has developed their own comprehensive maths curriculum. Primary school maths tutoring and secondary school maths tutoring is available at all Brainworks tutoring centres.
