Foundation Review

A comprehensive course to fill knowledge gaps and build strong foundations for advanced mastery

Foundation Reviews are structured, term-based academic programs designed to strengthen the key topic areas your child needs most. Each course is aligned with the local curriculum and built to help students go beyond memorisation, and towards genuine understanding and independent problem-solving.

Whether your child needs to revise core skills or fill long-standing knowledge gaps, Foundation Reviews offer the focused support they need to catch up, keep up, and get ahead.

We currently offer Foundation Reviews in the following mathematics topics:

  • Number and Operations

  • Proportional Reasoning

  • Geometry and Measurement

  • Patterns and Algebra

  • Data and Probability

Each course is led by a coach and delivered in a small group or semi-private setting, with clear learning goals, regular progress monitoring and time built in for discussion and consolidation.

What Makes the Foundation Review Different?

Instead of revisiting the same topics over and over with a tutor, students in our Foundation Reviews develop deep conceptual understanding that actually sticks. We show students how the ideas connect, why the strategies work, and how to apply them in unfamiliar problems — not just familiar ones.

We also focus on building fluency, confidence, and cognitive flexibility — essential foundations for long-term academic success.

Who It’s For

Foundation Reviews are ideal for:

  • Students aged 9 and up who have missed key concepts in class

  • Children who have previously done well but are starting to see challenges as they transition into more demanding curriculum levels

  • Students who are capable but need clearer, more systematic instruction

  • Families looking for a more structured and short-term alternative to tutoring

Where It Leads

Once students have consolidated core skills through our Foundation Reviews, many progress to:

  • Study Clubs, for goal-oriented academic coaching and peer-based learning

  • Distinction League, for advanced topics, competitive exams, and extension programs

Students who complete a Foundation Review often tell us they finally really get it. Not only is there where they start to enjoy maths again, this is where why start to see their inner math genius surface, as they move through complex problems with ease, agility and intellectual curiosity.

Pricing Notes

Foundation Reviews generally run over a full school term, at approximately $950 per term.
