Year 6 Student Goes From C’s To A’s In Just Five Weeks
You’d be surprised to hear that the learning of facts is not how education works. Rather, the composition of learning is the training of one’s mind to think, but to think about how their mind works.

Einstein believed in the principle of differentiated learning and is most famously quoted for drawing an analogy between judging a fish to climb a tree and expecting others to learn the same way.

Failing Year 10 Brisbane student goes from a D to a B+ in one term!
Understanding the fundamentals of a particular subject is crucial to be able to comprehend extended topics and to be able to transition smoothly into different year levels. Take Maths for example.
