What you get, not just what your child gets

You are not a bystander in this and you are not the homework police either. There is a defined job for you and it is a small one.

The things parents actually ask

My child will refuse. How do I even bring this up?

This is the most common reason parents stall, and it is a fair worry. You get a written script pack before the program starts: the opening sentence, what to say to each form of resistance, and the phrases that make it worse.

We also let the student choose their own start date where we can. A teenager who picked the date argues about it far less than one who was told.

I do not have time to manage another thing.

Your part is about fifteen minutes a day and most of that is listening. A three-minute check-in, a ten-minute review on Sunday, and one sentence in the evening.

There is a written protocol for exactly what to do and, more usefully, what not to do. Managing your child's schoolwork is not on the list.

I have tried tutoring before and it did not work. Why is this different?

Because tutoring works on the homework and this works on the student. If the reason your child is behind is that they do not start, do not organise, and do not believe they are capable, then finishing tonight's worksheet with an adult sitting beside them changes nothing by Thursday.

We should also be straight with you: we cannot show you results yet. Founding Cohort 1 has not run. That is exactly why it is free — we are building the evidence in public, and you would be part of producing it rather than reading someone else's.

What if my child misses a session?

Every session is recorded and a written summary goes out after each one. If your child misses, the coach schedules a short catch-up call within 48 hours to bring them up to speed personally.

Beyond three missed sessions in the eight weeks, we move them to the next cohort at no extra cost. Continuing while badly behind helps nobody.

I think something deeper might be going on — ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety.

Tell us on the first call. Some of what looks like laziness is not, and eight weeks of habit coaching is the wrong tool for a learning difference that has never been assessed.

If we think what you are describing sits outside what we do, we will say so and point you toward the right kind of professional. We are not qualified to assess or diagnose and we will not pretend otherwise.

How does this fit around school, exams and NAPLAN?

You get a planner with the Victorian term dates, testing windows and assessment blocks already marked, and the eight weeks laid over the top so you can see how it lands.

Session days and times for Cohort 1 are TBC and will be confirmed before you are asked to commit to anything.

What does it cost?

Founding Cohort 1 is free. Not discounted — free, because we are documenting every outcome to build the evidence base and that only works if we can be honest about what we find.

It rises with each cohort after that, up to $2,997. The full ladder is published rather than hinted at.

The three pathways

Winning your money back is a reward for succeeding, not a safety net for failing.

Your child has six measurable conditions across the eight weeks. Meet them and the fee comes back. Separately, and at any point, you can ask for a refund for any reason and have it the same business day — no questions and no counter-offer.

How the pathways work

Start with a conversation.

A free call, before anything is decided. We assess where your child actually is and tell you what would change and when. If it is not right for them, we will say so on the call.
