Selective & Scholarship Exams

Selective entry and scholarship exams ask students to do more than remember what they’ve done at school.

You need to think quickly, solve unfamiliar problems, understand what you’re reading, communicate clearly while staying composed all this time.

At Learncor, we help our students build the skills, strategies as well as confidence to approach these challenges.

We identify what your child already does well, where they need support and what they need to practise before taking the test.

The Learncor Approach

  • 01 Initial Assessment

    Initial (free-of-cost) assessment and conversation to identify strengths, gaps and learning needs of the student

  • 02 Look at what's ahead

    Discussion around your child’s strengths, upcoming tests, goals and the skills they’ll need

  • 03 Engaging Sessions

    Students learn to ask questions, make mistakes and keep going when something doesn’t click straight away

  • 04 Keep Moving Forward

    Regular feedback and progress tracking so we know what’s improving and what needs attention

Our Goal

At Learncor, preparing for VCE/QCE is not just to finish the syllabus, it’s to walk into every assessment knowing how to think through the questions in front of you. With us, SACs, school assessments, exams, all become a part of the plan. We slow down when something doesn’t make sense, revisit the concepts often and make sure you understand the ‘why’ behind them.

Our Success Stories

  • "Vidhi is a great teacher, focusing on foundational concepts rather than mock tests, nurturing thorough understanding through constant review of topics. She is flexible and builds a relationship with students on a personal level. When we migrated to Melbourne, we knew little about Selective Entry High Schools. When we contacted Vidhi, she understood our situation and reacted positively. After his time with Vidhi, my son's overall academic performance significantly improved. My son looks forward to continuing his journey with Vidhi."

  • "I'm so happy with Vidhi's tutoring! She has been taking my daughter Maths and English classes for about six months now for competitive exam, and even had her as a tutor for her school subjects for two years in the past. She's incredibly dedicated and makes learning challenging subjects much more approachable and enjoyable. We've seen a real improvement in my daughter understanding and confidence. Thank you, Vidhi, for all your patient and hard work!"

  • "I was a student who tutored with Vidhi for English, she has been nothing but supportive and a great teacher to me. Not only does she provide personalised feedback and classes for students and connect with them on a personal deeper level, she also covers and dives deep into topics that not a lot of other tuitions do. I was with her for my Selective entry preparation and the amount of progress I have made in terms of my writing in only a few months is unbelievable, and this was all made possible because of Vidhi. She is also incredibly flexible and I truly believe no other tutor has helped me as much as her. I highly recommend VSEC to all students as Vidhi provides a safe, comfortable, and effective learning environment and it has nothing but a pleasure being taught by her!"

  • “Vidhi has been an exceptional tutor for my son. She engages him beautifully keeping every session lively, relevant and fun. Her ability to balance learning and enjoyment means he genuinely looks forward to their time together. Vidhi also challenges him with thoughtful tasks and problems that stretch his thinking and build confidence. It's clear she puts real effort into bringing out the best in her students and we have seen that reflected in our son's enthusiasm and progress. We're very grateful for her dedication and the positive impact she's had.”

  • "Vidhi has been the saviour for my son, who was preparing for selective entry exams. He was getting nervous as the exam date was approaching but Vidhi’s patience, efforts and support made him stand confident again. She is a great person as well as a great teacher with all knowledge of topics and her way of teaching by understanding the needs of individual student and act accordingly is fabulous. Her feedback plays a tremendous part in learning and improving a student’s ability and understanding the topics very clearly. Thanks a lot Vidhi for all your hard work, support and guidance…Keep it up 👏👏😊"

    Student Outcome: Suzanne Cory Offer

  • "Vidhi is truly exceptional. Not only has she sparked a genuine interest in writing in my son, but she’s also made reading and writing enjoyable activities for him. We initially began with English classes, but seeing her expertise, we’ve also enrolled in math lessons. It’s been remarkable to witness her mastery of both subjects and her talent for breaking down complex topics into simple, understandable concepts. Her ability to connect with kids is impressive, and my son is always eager for her classes and consistently completes his homework without hesitation. I highly recommend Vidhi to anyone looking to elevate their child’s learning experience."
