Today, many children's formal education begins before school with a day care centre. For some this can be from as young as six weeks of age. There are many factors to consider when deciding which school to send your child to - whether a public school is more convenient and financially viable, or a private school which may be faith-based or independent. If you are deciding where to send your child, ask if the school has an open day or if you can visit the school at some time and speak to a teacher or the Registrar or Principal.

AXON EDUCATION CENTRE – SOUTHPORT
“Pathway to your Child’s Success”

Axon Education Centre specialises in tutoring students in Mathematics, English, Reading, Spelling, Essay Writing and Scholarship preparation.  At Axon, we provide the best environment with highly qualified tutors and innovative approaches that will develop your child’s learning potential.  
Our stimulating programs have a flexible approach whereby a student’s exact needs are addressed regardless if they are struggling, ahead of class or looking to excel (scholarship level).  We work in tune with the school curriculum and we want to help students get better with what they are actually learning at school.  We recognise that students learn in different ways and therefore we have individual programs designed specifically for students to address their exact levels and abilities.  Continuous student feedback and motivation are provided.  Our caring teachers work individually or with small groups depending on students’ specific needs.  If your child or student wants to accelerate learning, master Maths and English skills, increase self-confidence, succeed at school, improve study habits and achieve higher scores, then call Axon Education Southport now to find out how we can help your child to maximise their potential.          

For further information please contact Axon’s friendly centre managers Roanne Quising and Rodney Laughlin on 5564 8444 or visit our website: www.axon.edu.au .
