Write Start Education Berwick offers a range of educational services including School Readiness Classes, Primary Tutoring and Secondary VCE English Tutoring.

School Readiness Classes are designed for children as young as 2. Each week we have a literacy and numeracy focus. Over the year we introduce all 26 letters of the alphabet, including their name, sounds and how to write them and numbers up to 20 in a fun and engaging way. All classes are taught by qualified teachers who make learning fun, multi-sensory and interactive. Students will engage in activities such as singing, crafts, writing as well as fine and gross motor skills, as well as working on socialisation, taking turns and making friendships. All activities at Write Start Education allows students to have the opportunity to create foundations in their learning to enable them to be a successful learner, all of this in a fun and exciting learning environment.

Currently we offer:
- Primary English
- Primary Maths
- VCE English
Our one-on-one tutoring includes an initial assessment and a personally tailored program specific to the student’s needs, based on the initial assessment and conversations with parents and students. All tutoring sessions are fun, hands on and engaging. Tutoring sessions are taught by fully qualified teachers who get to know your child, their strengths, passions and concerns and incorporate all these into the teaching time.
