Small-Group Tutoring Wyndham Vale

RHZ Tutoring is a local, independent centre at 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029, rated 5.0 on Google from 34 reviews, and Wyndham Vale is one of the suburbs we see most. Here is how our small-group classes works for Wyndham Vale families: what happens in a session, when and where it runs, what it costs and how to start.

Small-group tutoring classes for Wyndham Vale families

Our small-group classes are the most popular format for Wyndham Vale primary and junior secondary students, and the reason is not only price. A group of three to five students at the same level, with one tutor, has a pace: students see each other work, hear each other's mistakes explained, and tend to try harder than they would alone. The tutor still watches every student's working, still writes an individual progress note, and still steps back a year for one student when the Skills Check says so.

We group by level rather than by school, so a Wyndham Vale student's classmates may come from Tarneit, Manor Lakes and Werribee. The Skills Check decides placement: a Year 8 who is strong in number but weak in algebra goes into a group working on algebra, not simply a Year 8 group. Groups are reviewed each term and students move when their needs change. Siblings at different levels are booked at the same time in different groups so there is one trip.

Small-group pricing is from $25 an hour, compared with $35 to $45 for one-to-one. Plans are monthly, you choose one or two sessions a week, and you can cancel any time. Online groups run at the same price and the same size, with the same tutor, on a live video session where each student shares their working. Groups are available from Year 3; Prep to Year 2 reading and number work is one-to-one so the tutor can hear the child read and count every session.

Students from Wyndham Vale Primary School, Iramoo Primary School, Manor Lakes P-12 College, Wyndham Central College and Thomas Chirnside Primary School make up most of our Wyndham Vale after-school intake. We are independent of all of them; we simply know what they teach and when they test.

The drive from Wyndham Vale (3024) to our centre at 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029 takes about 15 minutes, via Ballan Road and Leakes Road, or the train to Tarneit. 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. The centre opens for after-school tutoring from 3:30 pm to 7 pm Monday to Thursday and 3:30 pm to 6 pm on Friday. We find that for Wyndham Vale families the 4:30 pm and 5 pm slots are the most popular, because the 15-minute drive after a 3:15 pm school finish makes 3:30 pm too tight. If a day does not work, the same session can run online with the same tutor.

How it works

Free Skills Check. Start with the free Skills Check: a short online diagnostic, done at home, that shows topic by topic where your child sits against their year level.

Free consultation. A tutor calls you for a free consultation, walks through the result and recommends a plan: 1:1 or small group, in person or online. No card, no lock-in.

Targeted sessions. Your child is matched with a tutor and sessions start, at the Truganina centre or online. After each session you receive a short note on what was covered and what is next.

Pricing

Small-group sessions (three to five students of a similar level) are from $25 an hour. One-to-one sessions are $35 to $45 an hour depending on year level, with VCE at the top of that range. 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

How big are the groups?

Three to five students at the same level with one tutor. Never more than five. Prep to Year 2 are one-to-one only.

Will my child be grouped with students from their school?

Sometimes, but groups are formed by level, not school. Wyndham Vale students often share a group with students from Tarneit and Manor Lakes. If your child needs a different level, they move.

What if my child needs more attention than a group allows?

The tutor will tell you, and we will suggest one-to-one, or a mix (a group session plus a short one-to-one) for a term. The consultation after the Skills Check is where we recommend the starting format.

Where is the small-group classes held for Wyndham Vale families?

At our Truganina centre, 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029, about 15 minutes from Wyndham Vale (via Ballan Road and Leakes Road, or the train to Tarneit), 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.
