After-School Tutoring Manor Lakes

Manor Lakes is one of the newest estates in Wyndham, built around Manor Lakes P-12 College, which is one of the largest schools in the state. With that many students in a single school, families often tell us their child is doing fine on the report but they are not sure what that means. A twenty-minute drive is doable, but many Manor Lakes families take the online option and keep the drive for exam-time revision days.

After-school tutoring for Manor Lakes families

Most of the tutoring we do for Manor Lakes students happens between 3:30 pm and 7 pm on a school day. It is the window that fits around school, sport and dinner, and it is also the window in which the work is freshest: the topic the class covered that morning is the topic the tutor can fix that afternoon. Weekend and holiday sessions exist, but the after-school session is the backbone.

Our after-school window is 3:30 pm to 7 pm Monday to Thursday and 3:30 pm to 6 pm on Friday, in one-hour sessions. As a rule for Manor Lakes families the 4:30 pm and 5 pm slots are the most popular, because the 20-minute drive after a 3:15 pm school finish makes 3:30 pm too tight. The last session of the day starts at 6 pm (5 pm on Fridays).

Every after-school hour runs the same way: a short warm-up on the previous session's skills, forty minutes of new teaching with the student doing the work in front of the tutor, and a quick independent check at the end. You get a progress note the same evening: what was covered, what is secure, what is next. Homework is ten to fifteen minutes a night, set from that note, never a stack of worksheets.

After the bell, most of the students walking into the centre from Manor Lakes come from Manor Lakes P-12 College, Lollypop Creek Primary School, Wyndham Vale Primary School and Iramoo Primary School. Tutors see the same schools' worksheets and tests week after week, so they recognise the sequence a class is on.

Manor Lakes to our Truganina centre at 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029 is about 20 minutes by car, via Ballan Road and Leakes Road. The centre is also about four minutes from Tarneit station, which is the easiest option for secondary students who travel on their own after school. Parking is free and directly outside the centre, which matters at 3:30 pm when you are doing a school pick-up and a tutoring drop-off in the same trip.

One session a week per subject is the standard after-school pattern; two a week is worth it for a student who is more than a year behind or in the run-up to an exam. Because the same tutors teach online, a Manor Lakes student who cannot get to the centre on a given afternoon keeps the session online rather than losing the week, and siblings can be booked back to back so one drive covers both.

Free consultation. We call you for a free consultation, go through the result together and suggest a starting point and a format. Nothing is charged until you decide to go ahead.

Targeted sessions. Sessions begin with a matched tutor who already teaches other Manor Lakes students, with a plain-English progress note to you after every session.

Pricing

One-to-one tutoring is $35–$45 an hour depending on the year level; small groups of up to five are from $25 an hour. Plans are monthly, you choose how many sessions a week, and you can cancel any time. The Skills Check and the consultation are free. Online and in-person sessions cost the same.

Frequently asked questions

What time do after-school sessions run?

From 3:30 pm to 7 pm Monday to Thursday and to 6 pm on Friday, in one-hour blocks. The last session starts at 6 pm (5 pm Friday). Students who arrive early can start homework in the quiet room.

Can my child get there from school on their own?

Secondary students often do: the centre is about four minutes from Tarneit station and on local bus routes. Primary students are usually dropped off by a parent after the school pick-up, and Manor Lakes families typically choose a slot that leaves time for the drive.

What if we cannot make the same afternoon every week?

Sessions can move between afternoons when a slot is free, and any session can run online with the same tutor. Tell the tutor at the start of the week and we will rearrange rather than cancel.

Where is the after-school tutoring held for Manor Lakes families?

At our Truganina centre, 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029, about 20 minutes from Manor Lakes (via Ballan Road and Leakes Road), or online with the same tutor. The centre is four minutes from Tarneit station with free parking outside.

What does it cost?

Small groups of three to five students are from $25 an hour. One-to-one is $35 to $45 an hour depending on year level, with VCE at the top of the range. The Skills Check and the consultation are free, plans are monthly and you can cancel any time.

How do we start?

Your child does the free online Skills Check (10 to 15 minutes, at home). A tutor calls you for a free consultation, goes through the result and recommends a format and a starting point. Nothing is charged until you decide to go ahead.
