Futures Centre is leading the way with personalised tutoring

The programs offered by the renowned PLC Sydney Futures Centre, focus on student-centred learning with personalised lesson plans. You won’t find any one-size-fits-all approach to learning - it’s hyper-personalised, meaning individual goals are planned, and realised, much sooner than other set programs. 

Director of PLC Sydney Futures Centre, Rowena Barnett, said the results speak for themselves. 

“Our students are reaching their individual learning goals faster than those following set tutoring programs,” Ms Barnett said. 

A recent survey of teachers and school leaders in Australia and New Zealand found that 80 per cent believed students would need extra instructional support when returning to school, and the top three concerns were of “social isolation, a decrease in student wellbeing and learning loss”.

While 2022 has allowed for the return of face-to-face tutoring, the Futures Centre will continue to offer online learning, or blended tutoring, that works around the student’s schedule and goals. While this primarily addresses the aforementioned learning loss, the personalised learning structure means that tutors can also identify when a student requires additional wellbeing care, and can take immediate and appropriate actions to help support the student.

The Futures Centre also offers general exam preparation focusing on techniques to help students prepare for their yearly assessments. 

“We cater for students who might have some gaps in their knowledge and need more foundational tutoring. And then we also cater for students who are excelling in class, but want to do more,” said Ms Barnett.

The Futures Centre really does walk the talk when they say they have extensive experience in providing additional learning opportunities for students. Established in 1989, PLC Sydney offers one of the longest running extension and enrichment programs in Australia. 

The Futures Extension Centre is located in Croydon and offers weekend and after-school tuition to students at all levels who seek academic support whether it be in remediation, consolidation or extension.

Semester 2 enrolments are now open for the Saturday 1.00 pm – 4.00 pm enrichment classes. 

*Entry requires a psychometric assessment identifying child as gifted. 

Classes are made available for Kindergarten/Year 1, Years 2 - 6. These classes are deliberately small, run over the full term, focusing on two topics per term. 

If you have seen your child completing activities in a different way to others around them, or you believe that they are gifted, an assessment is a great place to start. Get in touch with the PLC Sydney Futures Extension Centre to arrange a consultation.

You never know, your child may be the next Enigma code cracker, needing just the right support to blossom, grow and succeed.
