Workshops
At The Rural Tutor, we design workshops that respond directly to the real needs of students, families, and schools.
Whether it’s building study skills, developing organisation strategies, or creating habits that support learning for high school, tertiary education or life beyond - we’re here to help fill the gaps.
If there’s something specific you’re after, we’d love to chat.
Scholarship Exam Preparation Workshops
2026 Scholarship exams begin from January, 2026
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.
For further information please contact The Rural Tutor at hello@theruraltutor.com.au
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
