Highly recommend the teachers at Think Big Academy given their academic background spanning over 30 years. They take the time to understand the students not just teaching them the subject matter, but also making them confident and resilient through the Big 5 Skills.

We have really enjoyed seeing the progress in our son's writing. It has been wonderful to watch his confidence and creativity grow, especially in his stories and his application to his school work. The improvement in his overall writing skills has been fantastic. Thank you so much Think Big Academy for all the support and encouragement that has helped my son grow.

The most interactive way to master English & Maths.

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.

8 weeks with Think Big

How students excel

Week 1 Week 8

Real student progress over an 8-week term — comparing the start and end of the program across English, Maths, and the Big Five skills combined.

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 Insight

Research literacy and information intelligence — knowing how to find, evaluate, and use information responsibly.

05

Big Habits

The daily habits that make consistent performance automatic — organisation, composure, and follow-through.

Your results call

A short call where one of our teachers walks you through your child's personal plan: exactly where they stand, their strengths, and what would help most.

Secure your child's spot

Everything parents ask before their first assessment.

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 assessment involve?

A short sign-up form, and your child's assessment opens straight away. They work through it at home on a laptop or tablet: about 30 minutes for English, 30 for Maths, or both. Then you book a short call and one of our teachers walks you through their personal plan: exactly where they stand, their strengths, and what would help most. No payment, no obligation.

Will the class be at the right level for my child?

Yes. Your free assessment shows exactly where your child's really at, not just their year level — so if you enrol, they're grouped 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 3–12, 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.
