A routine your child can keep
The same lesson time each week and homework sized to be finished, not dreaded. Over a term, regular practice stops being a battle and becomes normal.
Opening in Green Square, April 2027
Good study habits, built one week at a time.
Small-group tutoring for Year 3 to Year 6 students. We prepare children for the NSW Opportunity Class and Selective High School placement tests, and strengthen the reading, writing and maths they use at school every day.

Steady practice beats last-minute cramming.
Casandra Education Services is a new tutoring school for primary students in Green Square and the surrounding suburbs. Our approach rests on four commitments.
Teaching the skills the tests assess
Lessons cover the four areas of the NSW placement tests: reading, mathematical reasoning, thinking skills and writing. Children learn how to approach each question type, not just memorise answers.
Clear feedback for parents
We check where each child is starting from, track progress through the term, and give you a written report at the end, so you always know what to work on next.
Small groups, safe care
Small classes mean every child is seen and heard. Every tutor holds a current NSW Working With Children Check.

Two programs, one simple fee. Terms are ten weeks long, with one lesson each week.

Questions from parents
When do classes start?
Classes begin in April 2027. Families who register their interest will hear first about the timetable, the venue and enrolment dates.
Do I pay anything to register?
No. Registering your interest is free and does not commit you to enrol. We will contact you before enrolments open.
How much does it cost?
Each program is $800 per 10-week term, which works out to $80 per weekly lesson.
Can you guarantee my child will get into an OC class or a selective school?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Placement is decided by the NSW Department of Education using test results. We focus on what can be controlled: good habits, strong skills and steady practice.
Are your tutors checked?
Yes. Every tutor holds a current NSW Working With Children Check before teaching any class.
My child is not aiming for a selective school. Is this still suitable?
Yes. The same skills in reading, reasoning and writing help children at school, whether or not they sit a placement test.
