What does Year 3 to Year 6 tutoring include?
FunFox Program offers online literacy tutoring for Years 3 to 6 through small-group classes focused on reading comprehension, critical thinking, writing, vocabulary, grammar, paragraphing, and teacher feedback. The Readers Club is specifically designed for Years 3 to 6, while the Writers Club supports students across Years 1 to 6 with genre-based writing development.
Are the tutoring classes available online in Melbourne?
Yes. FunFox Program is fully online, so Melbourne students can join live weekly classes from home without travel across the city after school. Lessons are interactive rather than passive, with teacher-led discussion, collaborative activities, digital worksheets, and personalised feedback that keeps children engaged while still following a structured literacy program.
How many students are in each class?
The Readers Club is designed for Years 3 to 6 and runs in small groups of 3 to 6 students. This size gives children opportunities to share ideas and learn collaboratively while still receiving teacher attention. Writers Club classes are also small-group, interactive, and supported by worksheets reviewed with personalised teacher feedback.
Can this tutoring help with NAPLAN preparation?
For eligible Year 3 and Year 5 students, FunFox builds important skills that support NAPLAN readiness, including comprehension strategies, evidence-based answers, vocabulary, sentence control, persuasive writing, narrative structure, and clear paragraphing. The program is not limited to test drills; it develops deeper reading and writing confidence that carries into classroom assessments.
How does FunFox improve reading comprehension?
The Readers Club teaches students to adapt reading strategies to different question types, including skimming, scanning, close reading, locating evidence, and analysing meaning. It also introduces literary devices, context, and interpretation so children move beyond simple comprehension and begin developing the analytical habits needed for upper primary and high school English.
What writing skills are covered for Years 3 to 6?
The Writers Club follows a yearly genre-based structure: descriptive writing in Term 1, narrative writing in Term 2, persuasive writing in Term 3, and informative writing in Term 4. Across the year, students strengthen vocabulary, sentence structure, paragraphing, spelling, grammar, planning, and editing while receiving personalised teacher feedback on assigned worksheets.
How much does Year 3 to Year 6 tutoring cost?
The Readers Club and Writers Club are listed at $165 monthly for a 3-month term, with a one-time registration fee of AUD $80. This includes weekly online classes and structured learning materials. Pricing may vary if your child is enrolled in a different program, so families should confirm the current term details before joining.
Is FunFox suitable for struggling students or enrichment?
FunFox is ideal for parents who want structured literacy enrichment, extra confidence, or support in areas not always covered deeply in mainstream schooling. The program suits confident learners needing extension as well as children who need stronger foundations in comprehension, written expression, vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking within an encouraging online environment.
