Testimonial
We are extremely happy with the Modules that are well planned and further coaching for the selective entry exams. Super excited to share the news that my son got selected for John Monash Science School. Special thanks to Mr John Grundy for tutoring and supporting him throughout the process. Thanks Brainworks for making his dream come true! Thanks again. Gayathri & Sudhir
If I could give 5 ½ stars I would! My daughter has just finished her studies with Brainworks as she is in year 11 now but the foundation John has given her for maths and English will bestow her to excellence. She was just an average student when she joined Brainworks in her year 8 but by year 10 she has excelled so much that she will be sitting for her VCE in year 11 for 2 subjects.
John’s team is an amazing faculty and I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you once again! Priscilla
Very highly recommended for selective school entrance coaching. Very personalised plan. Regular student status feedback. Very special mention for John Grundy who went out of the way to drop a few practice questions at home during lockdowns. Thanks John. Google review
