Tutoring for Lollypop Creek Primary School Students

Parents of Lollypop Creek Primary School students find us by word of mouth more than any other way, and they usually ask the same practical questions: what year levels, which subjects, how far, what time, how much. This page answers them. To be clear at the outset, RHZ Tutoring is not affiliated with Lollypop Creek Primary School; we are an independent centre in Truganina.

Year levels at Lollypop Creek Primary School and what matters in each

Lollypop Creek Primary School covers Prep to Year 6, so a family at the school may be looking for help at any point in that span; the sections below are arranged by year level so you can find yours.

Prep and Year 1: phonics, early reading and early number, where a small gap is easiest to fix and most often missed in a big class.
NAPLAN in March for Year 3 and Year 5: we secure the year's content and spend a few sessions on the format and the writing genres rather than drilling past papers.
Years 5 and 6: independent-school scholarship tests and the move to secondary school, which assumes fluent number facts, fractions and structured writing.
The move to a secondary school after Year 6: the term where primary gaps in fractions, place value and paragraph writing show up first.

Subjects we tutor for Lollypop Creek Primary School students

Every subject below is taught to the Victorian Curriculum or the VCE study design by a tutor matched to the year level, one-to-one or in a small group of three to five, at our Truganina centre or online. The free Skills Check decides where we start.

How RHZ works alongside Lollypop Creek Primary School

We work alongside the school's program, not against it. The school sets the sequence of topics, the texts and the assessments; our tutor follows that sequence so tutoring reinforces class, and uses the free Skills Check to find the earlier skill that is holding a student back, which is usually the thing the class does not have time to revisit. When a student at Lollypop Creek Primary School brings the latest school test to a session, the tutor marks the way the school marked and plans from the errors.

We are independent of Lollypop Creek Primary School and of every other school. We do not have access to the school's internal materials, we do not speak for its teachers, and we make no claims about its results. What we have is experience: our tutors have taught many students from Manor Lakes schools and recognise the pace and assessment style, and every tutor is local and holds a valid Working with Children Check.

Getting from Lollypop Creek Primary School to the centre

Getting here from Manor Lakes: about 20 minutes by car, via Ballan Road and Leakes Road. Secondary students often come by train (the centre is four minutes from Tarneit station); primary students are usually dropped off after school pick-up, and parking outside is free.

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 families at Lollypop Creek Primary School 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. If a day does not work, the same session can run online with the same tutor.

Pricing for Lollypop Creek Primary School students

Pricing is the same for every school: from $25 an hour in a small group of three to five at the same level, and $35 to $45 an hour one-to-one by year level. The free Skills Check and the free consultation come first, plans are monthly, and there is no lock-in. Online and in-person sessions cost the same.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is RHZ Tutoring connected to Lollypop Creek Primary School?

No. RHZ Tutoring is not affiliated with Lollypop Creek Primary School and has no arrangement with it. We are an independent tutoring centre in Truganina; students from the school come to us privately, and we teach to the Victorian Curriculum and the VCE study designs rather than to any one school's program.

Which year levels from Lollypop Creek Primary School do you tutor?

The school's name indicates Prep to Year 6, and we tutor every year from Prep to Year 12, so any student at the school can be matched with a tutor for their level.

Do you follow the school's worksheets and tests?

We plan from the Victorian Curriculum, which the school also plans from, and within that we follow the free Skills Check result. We ask you to bring the latest school test or assessment rubric to the first session, because it shows how the school assesses; the tutor works on the school's set text or topic where one exists.

How do students get from Lollypop Creek Primary School to the centre?

The centre is at 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029, about 20 minutes from Manor Lakes by car (via Ballan Road and Leakes Road), or four minutes from Tarneit station by train. Free parking outside.

What time are after-school sessions?

From 3:30 pm to 7 pm Monday to Thursday and 3:30 pm to 6 pm on Friday, in one-hour blocks. Students from Lollypop Creek Primary School usually take a 4:30 pm or 5 pm slot to allow for the drive. Any session can also run online with the same tutor.

What does it cost, and how do we start?

Small groups of three to five at the same level are from $25 an hour; one-to-one is $35 to $45 an hour by year level. Start with the free online Skills Check (10 to 15 minutes); a tutor then calls you for a free consultation and recommends a plan. Monthly plans, no lock-in.
