Selective school tutoring for Epping-area students
Selective preparation should respond to the student’s current evidence, not a generic race through worksheets. Nelson checks the need across Reading, Mathematical Reasoning, Thinking Skills and Writing before recommending a current group or another format.
An enquiry does not reserve a place. Nelson confirms current fit, format, availability and cost before any booking or enrolment.

Students who need ongoing selective preparation
Tutoring is distinct from a one-off family strategy consultation and must match the student’s actual learning priorities.
- Epping-area families looking for ongoing teaching rather than a single school-choice discussion.
- Students needing a clearer priority across the four equally weighted NSW Selective test sections.
- Families who want preparation organised around schoolwork, feedback and a sustainable weekly rhythm.

Frequently asked questions
Practical details before the first enquiry.
Is there a permanent tutoring centre in Epping?
No. Epping is a preferred in-person enquiry area, and Nelson confirms the exact venue, format and availability directly.
Which Selective test areas can the enquiry cover?
The fit review can consider Reading, Mathematical Reasoning, Thinking Skills and Writing. The exact teaching scope depends on the student and current suitable options.
What is the difference between tutoring and the selective consultation?
Tutoring is ongoing teaching with practice, feedback and homework. The selective consultation is a one-off 90-minute family strategy session with a written roadmap.
What does selective tutoring cost?
Small groups start at A$69 per student per 90-minute lesson in an agreed block. Limited one-to-one tutoring is A$135 per hour where suitable; the total block cost is confirmed before enrolment.
Does tutoring predict placement?
No. Preparation cannot predict a placement rank or school offer, and there is no fixed official school cut-off score.
