This month’s FIVE MINUTES WITH feature is with Think Smart Learning Centres. Think Smart Learning Centres were established in 2001 and have been providing tutoring services for more than a decade.The team comprises of dedicated and enthusiastic teachers who are passionate about teaching and learning. Kusum and Deepali have been managing the centres since the last 4 years along with a team of 14 experienced and qualified primary and secondary teachers.They currently have two locations: Glen Waverley and Camberwell.

q What are the various programmes offered at Think Smart?

At Think Smart we cater to a variety of after school tutoring programmes based on the requirements of the child. We encourage students to discover and explore their interests, while also providing them with the academic, extracurricular and career-building support required to realise their ambitions. Following programmes are offered by us: Foundation and Concept Building: for students who need extra support from Prep to yr 12 Accelerated Programme: for students who require a challenge and an accelerated learning plan.

Individualised programmes for Selective School Preparation and Seal programmes for Secondary students Scholarship preparation for entry to year levels 4, 5 and 7 for Private schools. q How does Think Smart differ from the other after school tutor services?

At Think Smart Learning Centre, every student gets personalized attention through: 1. One- on- one coaching or small groups 2. Individualized programmes tailored to individual needs.

3. Multi-sensory teaching.

4. Motivational support to provide an encouraging environment.

Think Smart fully understands the role of teachers in maintaining and delivering high standards in education. We have highly dedicated, enthusiastic and experienced teachers who bring with them a significant knowledge base and enthusiasm to work with students at all levels. Our teachers put in their best to give students a new lease in education and help them achieve the very best of their abilities. Our unique individualised coaching approach helps your child to build confidence and a positive attitude towards their academic goals. We encourage students to ask questions, learn from their mistakes and actively engage in process of learning. q What is Clever Caterpillars?

Clever Caterpillars is our school readiness programme which we began two years ago. It caters to learning needs of children from 3 to 6 years of age. The programme focuses on learning alphabet through sounds and numeracy with a multisensory approach. 'School readiness' is determined by much more than simply a child's chronological age. In order to make a successful and happy start to school, children also need to have a firm grasp on language, social and emotional skills as well as fine motor skills.

We are extremely passionate about providing a means for children to explore and develop these necessary skills through a wide range of fun and playful activities.
