We Offer All Subjects, in All Year Grades, at All Levels

At Greater Understanding, we utilise a great level of tutor specialisation. By ensuring that Greater Understanding tutors employ their student’s preferred learning style whilst imparting the required syllabus material, we fast-track our students’ academic success.

Primary Education

Whether a remedial or an extension approach is required, we will ensure that your child is able to take advantage of as many academic opportunities as possible. By ensuring that our students not only catch up to the rest of his or her class, but become one of the strongest students in the classroom, we are the perfect guide for your child’s journey through primary school. Remember, a strong performance in primary school sets the foundation for eligibility for selective secondary schools and a sustainable and healthy approach to academia.

A firm understanding of the fundamental skills taught in primary school is essential to allow each student to grasp every educational opportunity that arises on their journey through school. That is why Greater Understanding tuition services will encourage a successful academic career to flourish sustainably into the future.

Our individualised lesson plans will cover the wide variety of language, filmic, visual, sound and dramatic techniques, which act as the fundamental building blocks of each English course. On top of this foundation, we cover the structuring of essays, creative response composition and speech composition and assessment presentation. By consistently encouraging originality and creativity, all Greater Understanding tutors will ensure that their students have been given the best possible opportunity to achieve their academic potential.
