July Holiday Pre-VCE
Math Methods Workshops

For Year 9 & 10 students serious about success in VCE Maths Methods.

Start strong. Think clearly. Build the foundations that future Methods students wish they had.

Join the 60+ students that we have supported since 2024!

If your child is aiming to take VCE Mathematical Methods,
the reality is this..

Most students struggle not because they aren't capable,
but because their foundations aren't strong enough.

Our workshops are designed to change that.

Over the July holidays, we’re helping students build the exact mathematical thinking, skills,
and habits they need to confidently transition into Methods.

Our July Pre-VCE Holiday Schedule

All sessions are run in our Mount Waverley campus.

Address: Unit 2, 20-22 Hardner Road, Mount Waverley

Algebra Foundations for Math Methods

Masterclass

Thursday 2 July

9 am - 12 pm

The single biggest predictor of success in Methods.

We focus on:

  • Core algebra skills that underpin ALL Methods topics

  • Factorisation, equations, and algebraic manipulation

  • Building fluency, accuracy, and confidence

Functions and Graphs

Headstart

Wednesday 8 July

1 pm - 4 pm

Where many Methods students fall behind — early.

We cover:

  • What functions actually mean (not just rules)

  • Graph transformations and connections

  • How algebra links to graphical behaviour

Why families choose The Co-Learning Hub

  • Small-group workshops (max. 8 students) for personalised attention

  • Experienced teachers who focus on understanding, not memorisation

  • A supportive environment that builds confidence and independence

  • A proven approach that helps students transition smoothly into VCE maths

We intentionally keep groups small so every student gets the support they need.

Your workshop leader: our founder Paige Tan

With over a decade of teaching experience in both public
(Kew High School, Forest Hill College) and private schools (Camberwell Girls Grammar School) in Melbourne, Paige brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to The Co-Learning Hub.

Paige’s journey in education began with her primary and secondary education in Singapore, where she developed a strong foundation in mathematics and a passion for teaching.

As a VCE Mathematical Methods Exam Assessor from 2021 to 2024, Paige has an in-depth understanding of the VCE curriculum and what it takes for students to excel in their exams. Her experience as an assessor has given her valuable insights into the assessment process, allowing her to better prepare her students for success.

FAQs

Should my child attend all workshops?

We recommend selecting based on their gaps, but many students benefit from combining Algebra + Functions for a strong foundation.

Are these too advanced for Year 9 students?

Not at all. These are designed as foundational headstarts, not VCE-level overload.
