Workshops
The Rural Tutor work with schools to support students in developing organisation and study skills setting them up for life, whether for tertiary education or simply adulting.
Schools and teachers are experts in their subject area. However, with such a crowded curriculum, school life often doesn’t leave room for students to actually learn ‘how to study’. This is where The Rural Tutor is able to support students and schools.
Scholarship exam preparation workshops
2025 Scholarship exams begin from Saturday 2 February, 2025
Most independent and selective state schools offer scholarships to students who perform well in the ACER Scholarship exam.
However, for many students this may be the first time that they have been exposed to a formal examination, which can be quite daunting.
The Rural Tutor has designed a Scholarship Exam Preparation Workshop to help your child feel more confident and prepared for this exam.
Students will:
✅ Undertake a practice exam under exam conditions
✅ Review the exam immediately, with full answers and explanations worked through for comprehension, grammar and mathematics.
✅ Receive individualised feedback on the writing component of exam.

Each session will be stage specific, covering:
✅ Reading comprehension
✅ Writing
✅ Mathematics – whole number & number sense
Back to School Bootcamp will be offered again in January 2025.
Study Skills
At The Rural Tutor we work with your school to tailor our Study Skills experience and skills with the learning needs of your students. We work closely with Leaders of Learning in schools to ensure that the existing school language used relating to study skills is incorporated in our workshops.
At The Rural Tutor we not only offer tutorials and information sessions on Study Skills, we insist on facilitating workshops where students physically need to apply these new ideas and skills. We have found that this embeds the new learning, resulting in students walking away from the sessions with tangible tools to use.
The Rural Tutor’s programs focus show students how to:
✅ Finding time
✅ Committing time to a task
✅ How to study
