At Maths Words Not Squiggles, we follow a comprehensive approach to NAPLAN test preparation involving weekly tutoring lessons and our NAPLAN preparation program during school holidays.

Weekly tutoring sessions can be taken as individual lessons or micro group lessons with a maximum of three students. Those who need personalised attention will benefit from one-on-one sessions with our tutors, who can adjust the content based on what the student needs to improve on to prepare for NAPLAN.

For instance, their sessions may focus more on reading and writing skills if their initial assessment shows a lack of proficiency in those areas. Students who prefer collaborative learning can try our micro group tutoring sessions. Regardless of the format, our NAPLAN preparation classes can improve each student’s skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle any test, including NAPLAN.

Since the tests cover literacy and numeracy education, our NAPLAN preparation classes focus on reading, writing, conventions of language (spelling, grammar, punctuation) and numeracy lessons. We’ve tailored the content to the specific requirements of NAPLAN, ensuring a targeted and effective preparation for every year level.

Absolutely! At Maths Words Not Squiggles, we offer the flexibility for students to prepare at home or any location through NAPLAN online practice tests. We believe that NAPLAN training should be accessible to all students. If none of our locations in the Northern Beaches, Sutherland Shire and South Sydney work for your child, you can enrol them in our NAPLAN online preparation tutoring or courses.

Besides accessibility, we believe that this helps students adapt to the digital world — and even prepares them for NAPLAN tests, which are all conducted in an online platform during Years 5, 7 and 9. Therefore, our NAPLAN training sessions are also aimed at increasing students’ familiarity with digital testing environments.

In Australia, NAPLAN is designed to measure essential skills of students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. That may sound intimidating, but there’s no need to lose sleep over the possibility of failing NAPLAN! It functions as a diagnostic tool for a student’s reading, writing, spelling, grammar and numeracy skills, but unlike traditional exams, it’s not a pass-or-fail test. It won’t affect a student’s grades or academic standing.

However, we understand that students want to perform at their best. That’s why we offer NAPLAN preparation classes! All you need to do is enrol your child in our weekly tutoring sessions or intensive NAPLAN preparation courses.
