Students between the ages of 6 and 18 years are referred by teachers, doctors, psychologists, other agencies and organisations. Students are informally assessed at our clinic before commencing tuition to ensure the best possible tutor fit.
ACES [Inc.] hours of operation are 7 am to 8pm, Monday to Thursday, 7 am to 6 pm on Friday and Saturday 8am to 4pm during school terms. Specialist holiday programs are conducted in January and other holiday tuition is subject to negotiation.
Once accepted, students are given between one and three, one-hour sessions per week. Students with more severe learning disorders often require specialist tuition for a number of years. As students develop and progress, their contact hours are lowered until they can eventually cope without specialist tuition. Some students may continue with irregular sessions to ease their transition to independent study.
Fees are charged on a per term basis, based on a rate of $98 - $112 per session (dependent on time of day). In the case of financial hardship, an application for special consideration can be lodged with the ACES [Inc.] committee.
A student's progress is meticulously monitored and recorded every session. Individual programs are regularly reviewed and modified as required. Continual feedback between the school performance and each student's clinic work is achieved through debriefing the parents at the end of each session and liaising with schools and other professionals wherever possible. End of semester reports are provided for all students. Formal progress reports can be requested for an additional fee.
We operate from a convenient location adjacent to Claremont Quarter on Gugeri Street. Students unable to attend the clinic can receive tuition by personal video-conferencing via a privately hosted live streaming application. This can easily be accessed from a home or school PC (no specialist software is required).
To ensure quality control of tuition, ACES (Inc.) does not provide lessons at private homes.
