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

Why Think Big Is Different.
Every Think Big session teaches your child how to think: better questions, clearer reasoning, and the confidence to work through a hard problem instead of giving up on it. That's what separates Think Big from standard tutoring — led by experienced, qualified teachers who believe kids deserve excellent results and so much more.
Our proprietary teaching framework
Five Skills, Not Just Subject Content
Every Think Big session is built around five interconnected capabilities. They go beyond English and Maths — these skills carry across every subject your child takes, and into life far beyond the classroom. More than just subjects: it's a head start on life. That's not an afterthought. That's the foundation everything else is built on.
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 when the work gets hard.
05
Big Insight
Research literacy and information intelligence — knowing how to find, evaluate, and use information responsibly.
Parent & student portal
Every Session Recorded & Tracked
The Big Five is what we teach. The portal is how you see it working. After every session, your child's portal updates with what was covered, key points from the lesson, and a personal note from their session leader — so progress is something you see, not something we promise. Together, that's the difference between tutoring that ends at the subject and one built to give your child a head start on life.
A note after every class
What was covered, how your child went, and what to expect next — not just a grade at the end of term.
Progress across all five skills
See growth in thinking, voice, influence, habits and insight — not just a subject score.

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.
