At Art of Smart, we don’t just teach your child the content they need to excel, we take a holistic approach that ensures their success and wellbeing while studying in or out of the classroom.
That’s why if your child is in Years 7-10 and receives our 1 on 1 tutoring, they’ll also receive access to one bonus weekly tutorial session where they can focus on homework help, assessments, extension work, additional revision or learn helpful study skills!
This way students get the best of both worlds! They build their core skills, learn their subject matter while also receiving individual, personalised support.
+ Both are available online and in-person at our Hornsby or Hills Campuses. This means no matter where you are, you can still get the same support.
But how exactly do our bonus tutorials work? In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into how our bonus sessions are designed, what you’ll get from them and how they’ll help your child reach their full potential!
You’ll also hear from AOS student Jack and his mother Lisa about how they’ve found the sessions and how it’s benefited Jack in his academic journey!
Let’s jump in and learn more. 🙂
Bonus Weekly Tutorials
Our 1 on 1 tutoring sessions are specifically designed to help students build a foundational set of key skills required to ace their curriculum. However, we recognise that students need extra support with assessments, homework or other specific work that isn’t covered in these sessions. That’s why every Year 7-10 student who receives 1 on 1 tutoring also gets access to one bonus 1-hour tutorial throughout the week!
These tutorials complement our 1 on 1 tutoring completely. Students get additional individual time with tutors to get help on whatever they’re struggling with personally.
As a parent, you can quit worrying about whether your child is doing their homework, and find comfort in the knowledge that an Art of Smart tutor is helping them through every step of the way.
Additionally, they can get help with any subject they wish! For example, Alex received tutoring for English but got support for Maths and Science at his bonus weekly tutorials on numerous occasions.
So why are these tutorials helpful?
Assignment and Exam Help
For Alex, bonus tutorials were a great time to get focused help on his assignments and exams.
Students are free to inquire about problems they have with an assignment or exam that’s coming up.
Alex says: “It’s a great place to ask questions you wouldn’t normally ask in class at school.”
It’s also the #1 place for students to receive feedback on their work instead of studying blindly without knowing if what they’re producing is hitting the mark!
Reduce Stress
Getting this kind of specific support is great, but it’s merely a means to an end. The desired end result is improved marks and a massively reduced amount of stress.
Tackling a big workload is very daunting for students, especially in their younger years. Having a tutor to guide your child is the helping hand they need to alleviate anxiety and pressure.
Alex states: “I would describe the sessions as work relieving. They really helped me manage my time and workload much better.”
As Lisa explains, our bonus sessions gave Alex the confidence to approach a workload that appeared too overwhelming initially.
“I remember Alex got two big assignments due over the school holidays and we were meant to be going away on a family trip. He was out of his mind worried that he wouldn’t have time to complete them.”
“Alex went into the tutorials and worked on his assignments for an hour a day three days a week at Art of Smart. The tutors showed him where to start, what to focus on and how to break up his work.
Alex knew what he needed to do, but he was frozen because it was so overwhelming. The tutorials didn’t just give him time to concentrate on the task, they gave him the confidence to get started and stop putting it off.”
With poor mental health being a common theme for students during the HSC, our bonus tutorials can help your child nip stress in the bud early and manage their workload more effectively.
Dedicated Time to Study
If you receive 1 on 1 tutoring, you also get access to the dedicated study spaces at our Hornsby and Hills Campuses. Even if you attend tutoring from home, you can still come to our campuses to concentrate on your work at any time during our opening hours.
Alex lives near our Hornsby campus, as a result, he’s able to catch the train straight from school to receive tutorials and dive headfirst into study without being distracted.
“I go to my tutorials straight from school instead of going home to a place that I associate with relaxation. This keeps my academic momentum going.”
“It’s also a really calming study environment. There’s a couple other people in my house who have their own work and school struggles, so it’s great to have a quieter place to focus on my study.”
In addition to targeted support, students get access to an environment where they can fully dedicate themselves to the study at hand.
