Our Commitment to Parents
We’re here to support your child, not only academically but to stay focused, motivated and excited by learning. We’re here to provide study support at school and at home!
We work with child psychologists, education experts, and Good News Lutheran College to deliver tutoring that develops "A-grade" learning skills. We then carefully select, train and support all our Werribee tutors to create the optimal study environment for your child.
Help your child meet their full potential!
STUDENT TRANSFORMATIONS
We Get Your Challenges
Constant Communication, Constant Support
One of the fundamental principles of our approach to tutoring is the “child’s support network”. Your child needs the support and influence of the school, teachers, peers, parents, and tutors to thrive. This means additional support from tutors to support:
- Empowering your child with academic strategies
- Building metacognitive skills
- Overseeing homework and study
- Acting as a cheerleader
- Providing positive influence
- Providing mentoring
Our Transformer Program at Good News
A Team Tuition provides Good News Lutheran College with highly engaging and effective tutoring assistance before and after school. The tutoring provides academic and metacognitive support to selected students from Grade 4 - Year 11. The program is in place to improve your child’s confidence, motivation, and grades by developing their mindset, strategy, and even more support.
The Academic Personal Trainers deliver the A Team Advantage program with the students in Years 7-9. This focuses on empowering students with the metacognitive and academic skills to succeed.
Students in Years 4-11 receive homework and subject specific support from the Academic Personal Trainers. The A Team Tuition tutoring approach supports the curriculum students are covering in classes while also building on other skills your child needs to succeed.

... What Our Clients Have To Say ...
“I am very happy with how the sessions are going. Avalon was sitting on a D to C and just received a B- in Math! Her teacher marked improvement with both maths and confidence. Our Academic Personal Trainer, Andrew, takes the time to discuss and draw out of Avalon what she understands and also struggles with. He is very patient and takes time to repeat things. She loves how he gets her to repeat back what he is teaching her to ensure she understands, as she normally is too shy to say. He has great communication skills and he somehow gets through to her as she is difficult to read. All round a lovely young man.”
“Jasiel was very apprehensive initially, our APT encouraged Jasiel to speak about her math concerns and Jasiel soon felt a level of trust. The way our APT explained the concepts and encouraged Jasiel to participate was great and received by her very quickly. Our APT has a great approach, very warm, friendly and funny. He spoke about his love for math and his current studies which Jasiel was quite impressed with. I can see why you mainly use University students.
Jasiel is actually looking forward to ongoing sessions with her APT, he gave her such a boost to her confidence which has been so low, he didn’t question her lack of understanding or belittle her, he was so encouraging and supportive. He gave her tips, let her know what to put in her math workbook when she has her exam next week – a few “don’t forget” points. He was brilliant. After what I saw last night, I’m looking forward to seeing the end result in her overall school, study, motivation and confidence.”
“Our Academic Personal Trainers, Jake and Bodi are very well matched to both of our boys. My sons were so happy that all of their goal setting was done in the first session and I am really looking forward to seeing how the boys respond throughout the term!”
“I think I was so successful because my study routine and how I approached maths completely changed. I used to have a bad mindset and hated the subject, now I really try my best!”
Jess went from an E to B in Maths in just 8 weeks!
“Everyone comments on her confidence.”
“Cecelia has never passed English before so we’re really celebrating this C. The teacher said that she’s on course for a B this term and everyone, her teacher, her teacher’s aide and her reading group leader – they’ve all said she’s far more confident, putting her opinion out there, and finally feeling brave enough to read out loud. This has been a big celebration in our house.”
