High 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.

High school tutoring for Manor Lakes families

Secondary students from Manor Lakes come to us at three points: Year 7, when the transition exposes a primary gap; Year 9 and 10, when maths accelerates and English shifts to analysis and the VCE subject choice looms; and Years 11 and 12, for the VCE itself. Each needs a different tutor and a different plan, and the free Skills Check plus consultation is how we decide which.

For Years 7 to 10 we tutor maths, English and science to the Victorian Curriculum, following the school's sequence but stepping back to earlier content whenever the Skills Check shows it is missing. Year 9 and 10 maths (linear graphs, trigonometry, quadratics, simultaneous equations) is where we prepare students for the Methods-versus-General decision so they choose from strength. Year 9 and 10 English is where we teach the analytical and persuasive structures VCE assumes. Science sessions follow the school's unit and teach the explanation writing that tests reward.

VCE tutoring is subject-specific: Mathematical Methods, General Maths, Specialist Maths, English, Chemistry, Physics and Biology, each with a tutor who teaches that study design. The year is a chain of SACs ending in the November exams, so sessions prepare for each SAC in turn and add past VCAA papers from mid-year. One-to-one at $45 an hour is the usual VCE format; small groups from $25 run where enough students are at the same point.

Manor Lakes students at the centre attend Manor Lakes P-12 College, Lollypop Creek Primary School, Wyndham Vale Primary School, Iramoo Primary School and Wyndham Central College. A tutor will always ask for the latest school test or assessment rubric, because that is the fastest way to see how a particular school marks.

From Manor Lakes it is about 20 minutes to 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029, 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. There is free parking at the door on Apex Drive, so pick-up and drop-off take a minute, not a lap of a shopping centre car park. After-school sessions at the centre run from 3:30 pm to 7 pm Monday to Thursday and 3:30 pm to 6 pm on Friday. In practice 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. Sessions are an hour, and students who arrive early sit in the quiet room and start their homework.

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

Which subjects do you tutor for high school?

Maths, English and science for Years 7 to 10, and Mathematical Methods, General Maths, Specialist Maths, English, Chemistry, Physics and Biology for VCE.

My child is in Year 7 and struggling with the transition. Can you help?

Yes; it is the most common reason Manor Lakes families first contact us. We usually find one or two primary gaps in maths and an unfamiliarity with analytical writing in English, both of which respond quickly to targeted work.

How early should VCE preparation start?

Term 4 of Year 10 is the sweet spot, which is when our VCE 2027 Head Start runs: a free VCE Skills Check, free consultation and first session free, then a Unit 1 and 2 head start through Term 4 and January.

Where is the high 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.

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.
