Frequently asked questions

We determine the focus of our small group lessons based on the children's needs and family interests. Literacy and numeracy are key areas, with structured sessions to advance reading, writing, and math skills. We offer 8-week sessions for School Readiness, Transition to High School, Study Skills, Homework Hub, and Learning to Homeschool for parents. We value feedback from parents and design lessons accordingly. Our qualified teachers can also provide drama, specialist, and music lessons to meet NSW Educational Standards or other curriculum goals.

It’s important to commit to classes upon enrolment, however sometimes students become ill, or family absences are required. Please email through the website or send a text message to the mobile number provided, to give notice before 8am on the day of the lesson if your child is sick and to let us know that your child will miss a session. We then can cancel the tutor and arrange a make up lesson. Unfortunately, families are not exempt from fees for absences, however, we will attempt to assist you with a free makeup session to account for the fee paid. This includes for genuine emergencies where a person may be unable to give adequate notice. If late or no notice is given, and the tutor has already incurred travel fees, there is a 50% cancellation fee of the total lesson price that is applied and no make up lesson is arranged. An additional lesson can be re-booked at full price if requested.

All EWE tutors are carefully selected as like-minded, professional educators, trained, caring and knowledgable. We share the same values, as do all our family members. Certain optional add-on classes, such as Catechism, are taught by dedicated, retired professional teacher volunteers, but do not attract an additional fee (except for resources used). All EWE tutors hold Working with Children Registrations and/or NESA accredited teachers. We screen out tutors for quality assurance by receiving regular feedback from families. We engage tutors in multiple areas to meet the needs within your community and to enable us to deliver Extraordinary Care Packages during lockdown.

No, you do not need to be registered with Homeschool Education NSW to attend Eagle's Wings Education. We offer one-on-one sessions for general school students before or after school hours, either face-to-face or via Zoom. Small group revision, study skills, supervised homework, and literacy/numeracy skill classes are available after school, depending on interest and numbers. These include our popular 'Progress in Reading' sessions. Generally, small group day sessions are suitable for children enrolled with Home Education NSW who want to complement their homeschooling progress.

NESA is the legal governing body for home education in NSW, and you need an individual yearly plan for your child. You can use the official NESA templates and examples here: https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/regulation/home-schooling/home-schooling-registration If you want extra support, we can help with consultations, resources, seminars, and information meetings so you can build your plan with confidence.
