Across Melbourne
Victorian students sit NAPLAN early and the VCE at the end of school, so strong foundations matter. A long-term mentor builds them step by step, with a monthly report for parents.
Aligned with Victorian schools
Mentors work from your child’s own coursework, or from Abugida’s grades 3–12 curriculum for homeschoolers, and build the skills behind NAPLAN, the VCE and selective entry exams, plus the SAT and AP exams for students applying to universities abroad.
- Victorian government schools
- Independent and Catholic schools

How we measure it: mentors keep a regular check on each student’s homework and school grades and compare them with the grades the student had when classes began. That check is part of the service, so busy parents don’t have to chase report cards.
