Testimonial
Brainworks built his confidence and he was able to deal with complex maths problems. Staff were very competent and took a keen interest. The course content was ideal for preparation, well designed for getting the best results, consequently he was offered a place at Melbourne High. All of my questions were answered throughout the course and I surely recommend Brainworks. The seriousness, passion and commitment of staff is praiseworthy. Praveen
I really enjoyed my time there. I was able to improve my knowledge and testing speed effectively. The work is neither too hard or easy as it is personalised to your abilities and the teachers there are very understanding and nice. I recommend this place for anyone who's trying out for any schools. Way better than traditional tuitions in service and effectiveness. Google review
Very highly recommended for selective school entrance coaching. Very personalised plan. Regular student status feedback. Very special mention for John Grundy who went out of the way to drop a few practice questions at home during lockdowns. Thanks John. Google review
