We also offer coding courses for kids in Grade 2 - Year 10. Kids learn the language of computers as they build games and creative projects. These are the 21st century skills that will help children get that competitive advantage to win the jobs of the future.
- What is the weekly price?
For a limited time we are offering a special price of $49 per one hour weekly session for tutoring. If you sign up at this rate you will lock in this price ongoing.
Kids coding courses are $50 per one hour weekly session.
- Am I locked into a contract?
There are no contracts. We do ask that you commit for a term to see maximum results. Should you not want to continue simply let us know, and we will refund any monies paid in advance, no questions asked.
- What kind of results can I expect to see, and what happens if my child doesn’t make progress?
Each child is different, but we expect each child to show clear learning growth over 60 days (usually sooner). If your child doesn’t show progress we will refund your money, or work for free until we see learning growth.
- How do you measure progress?
We do a pre-assessment to measure exactly where your child is at, after a block of focused tutoring we will re-assess your child to measure exactly how much they have improved.
- What is your policy for cancellations and make up sessions?
If we have 24 hours notice we will provide several times that we have available for a catch up session. Catch up sessions need to be taken in the following 7 days after the missed session.
- Where do the tutoring sessions take place?
Tutoring sessions take place at our learning studios at 1/124 High St, Belmont (directly opposite KFC). We also offer online sessions for one to one tutoring.
- Do students receive homework from tutoring?
We don’t assign weekly homework, but we do recommend that children (especially younger children) practice their number facts daily for 10-15 minutes. Number facts are basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculations that children should learn to recall instantly with no working out (in other words, they need to learn them off by heart). This is the most important thing that children can do to improve their maths skills. We can provide resources and supports to assist you with this.
For English our recommendation is that children consistently read at home. Younger children should be reading with their parents 5 nights a week. Older children should also be reading consistently, and starting to focus on analysing and interpreting texts. We can provide resources and supports to assist parents with these areas.
- What can I do as a parent to support my child’s learning?
We encourage you to be positive around your child’s learning, give praise and ask how they are going. Support them in doing their weekly tutoring activities, and encourage them to review what they have been learning at school. Remind them that learning is supposed to be challenging, but that is why it is so rewarding.
- What experience do you have?
iCode School is owned by Shannon Curtis a qualified teacher and educator. Shannon developed the iCode School tutoring approach and the ‘Rapid Results Learning System’ as a direct result of his own children needing support and tutoring. We have taught hundreds of students, and have many happy families as part of our community. iCode School tutors have exceptional experience in the subject areas they tutor, and more importantly they care about getting the best outcomes for your child.
