We tried the free trial mostly out of curiosity. A few weeks in and he's genuinely engaged, not just going through the motions.

He's sharper at school work, but it's more than that — he asks questions now that go past what's actually on the page.

He used to wait for me to sit with him for every homework question. Now he has a go on his own first, and only comes to me if he's actually stuck.

01 — Why choose Think Big
Strong results in English & Maths, plus a little more.
Every session is squarely focused on English and Maths results — that's the core of what we do. Two things make Think Big go further than standard tutoring: The Big Five, a set of life skills taught inside every session, and the Parent & Student Portal, which shows you exactly how your child is progressing, week by week.
The Big Five Framework
Thinking, voice, influence, habits, and insight — built into every class, not bolted on. This is what separates Think Big from standard tutoring.
Parent & Student Portal
Every session logged and tracked. Log in anytime to see exactly how your child is progressing, between report cards.
8 weeks with Think Big
How students excel
Week 1
Week 8
Illustrative student progress over an 8-week term — comparing the start and end of the program across English, Maths, and the Big Five skills combined.
02 — The Big Five Framework
Five skills, taught in every class.
Each one reinforces the others — a way of working that transfers across every subject, every year, every challenge your child meets.
01
Big Thinking
The ability to analyse, question, and approach problems creatively — not just follow a formula.
02
Big Voice
Confident, clear communication — in writing and in speech. The skills schools assess but often don't teach.
03
Big Influence
The interpersonal intelligence to collaborate, lead, and resolve — essential for group work and beyond.
04
Big Habits
The daily habits that make consistent performance automatic — organisation, composure, and follow-through.
05
Big Insight
Research literacy and information intelligence — knowing how to find, evaluate, and use information responsibly.
03 — Excellent results, built the right way
Real improvement in English & Maths — because they've learned to think.
Think Big Academy is more than standard tutoring, and the results show it. Every class is still squarely focused on English and Maths — your child gets real, measurable progress in both, built on a foundation that makes every future subject easier too.
Real results in English & Maths
Stronger grades and exam confidence — the academic outcome every parent wants, delivered every term.
Led by one expert educator
Every class is taught by the same educator with 30+ years' experience — the method refined over a career, not a rotating roster.
A head start that lasts
The thinking, confidence, and habits your child builds here travel with them into every subject, every year, every challenge ahead.
His writing's changed the most. He's using stronger language now, and actually backing up his own ideas instead of just describing things.

Everything parents ask before their first lesson.
Why does Think Big use small group classes?
Explaining your reasoning out loud to peers is how understanding really sticks. Our small, year-banded groups keep every student at the right level, build real confidence through speaking up, and make learning genuinely enjoyable.
What does the free trial involve?
One short enquiry form, then we'll call you right away for a quick 10-minute chat to see where your child's at. From there we place them in a live online group session at the right level for them. No payment, no obligation.
Will the class be at the right level for my child?
Yes. Before the first class, we hop on a quick call to see where your child's really at, not just their year level, then group them so every session is set at the right level: not too easy, not too far ahead.
Which subjects do you cover?
English and Maths, taught live online for Years 3–10, with The Big Five framework built into every session regardless of subject.
How are classes delivered, and what if we miss one?
Live, online, in small year-banded groups. Sessions are recorded, so a missed class doesn't mean falling behind.
What's the Parent & Student Portal?
Your own login showing what was covered in every session, key points from the lesson, and progress across all five Big Five skills — not just a grade at the end of term.
