Reading tutoring in Brisbane: questions

Are your reading tutors based in Brisbane?

No. TaleemSquare tutors teach online, so Brisbane families get one-to-one reading lessons without travelling to a center. Lessons are scheduled in Brisbane time (AEST, no daylight saving) and follow the Queensland curriculum your child uses at school.

Do you follow the Queensland English curriculum?

Yes. Tutors align lessons with the Australian Curriculum v9.0: English (Queensland) and with your child's own school work. Share homework, worksheets or the topic list and the tutor will match it.

Can you help my child prepare for NAPLAN reading and writing?

Yes. Local tests include: NAPLAN reading and writing, and QCE English. Tutors build the underlying reading skills first, then practise questions in the right format as the test approaches.

How much does a reading tutor in Brisbane cost?

TaleemSquare plans start at A$130 a month for two 45-minute one-to-one lessons a week, about A$16.25 a lesson. Three lessons a week cost A$179 and four cost A$229. There is no contract, and the first assessment is free.

What times are lessons available in Brisbane?

Lessons are scheduled in Brisbane time (AEST, no daylight saving), usually after school on weekdays or at weekends. Your child keeps the same tutor and weekly slots, which you agree after the free assessment.

Do you work with Brisbane schools?

No. TaleemSquare is an independent online tutoring service: we aren't affiliated with any school or district in Brisbane, and we don't have a local office. Children from any government, Catholic or independent school can join. Lessons follow the Australian Curriculum v9.0: English (Queensland), and the tutor also works from the homework your child's teacher sets. Schools in Queensland usually run late January to mid-December, and you can start lessons at any point in the year.
