Foci Education

I was at Foci for around 2 months and immensely enjoyed my time there. My tutor, David was a fantastic mentor and really pushed my understanding of English towards its limits by intertwining high level concepts with the syllabus and packages it in a way that is easy to comprehend.One of the core focuses of Foci Education is student welfare. Both David and Emma foster an environment that is more reminiscent of home rather than your typical grey box math tutoring classroom. In turn, students feel more at ease during lessons, which helps in relaying thought processes behind their writing, where flaws can easily be spotted and dealt with.From the actual contents in the lessons to the very minute details, it is clear that both Emma and David are passionate about helping students achieve their goals as well as their mental, physical and social wellbeing.I cannot recommend Foci enough.

With Emma as my tutor, I was able to pinpoint issues with my writing that no other teacher or tuition has ever picked up. Foci offers an unforgettable and welcoming environment for students to exponentially grow - helping me land both a Band 6 in Advanced English and an E4 in Extension 1 English. Looking back, I wish I had found out about Foci so much sooner! Thank you Foci Education for such an amazing experience, and thank you to David and Emma (they are such a power duo)!

I joined Foci Education about 1.5 terms before I had to sit my HSC in hopes of finding an English tutor who could help me achieve a Band 6 in English Advanced. Emma’s constructive criticism on my essay drafts allowed me to see the reason why I was considered a Band 5 student. Emma changed the way I wrote by bringing forward new ideas and showing different approaches to understanding prescribed texts. Foci Education provided me with ample resources to craft sophisticated essays that ticked all the boxes of the HSC criteria. Without Emma’s guidance, the Band 6 I received in the HSC would’ve been out of reach. I am truly grateful to have been a student at Foci Education and I thank both Emma and David to have gone above and beyond for the Class of 2021.

As a previous student of Foci education, I can confidently attest to Emma and David’s sophisticated delivery of class content which goes above and beyond NESA’s requirements of the English course. Not only do Emma and David ensure students are well-versed in their texts, but they also encourage students to develop and expand on their own personal voice and analysis which is critical in their navigation of the English curriculum. In addition, Foci has never failed to foster a safe learning environment for their students; whether it be during stressful periods of the HSC or class discussions. As for my newfound confidence in essay writing and comprehension, I owe it entirely to Emma and the endless support I have received during my time at FOCI. I will never stop recommending FOCI, (especially to passionate English students aiming to achieve a band 6 in English). Thank you Emma and David for literally EVERYTHING!!!!

David is a great teacher, tutor and mentor. He has a great command of the the English language and has the wealth of knowledge plus experience to substantiate this. His maturity and professionalism is well beyond his years. I think this company will be running for many decades to come.

At Foci Education you will find passionate English teachers who will support their students not only in English but all their studies.Emma and David go above and beyond to understand their students to pre plan lessons and gather resources based on your school texts.As a recent graduate student of Emma’s I received a personalised experience where every lesson was customised to my needs. With Emma, I improved in my English studies and have enjoyed studying English more than ever before. Emma has become a very valued mentor of mine and I am thankful.Foci Education is more than just a tutoring centre they support their students in navigating the ups and downs of high school, they are able to bring fun and joy to learning.Foci Education also provided Year 12 students such as I, with a Life Skills Day in which speakers came to discuss their career, university and life experience to guide us on our journey outside of high school and learn skills necessary for the wider world.Emma and David have successfully established a professional and quality learning environment for all students to feel comfortable in.I am forever grateful for Foci Education.

Being Emma’s student has been soooo valuable for me, because not only have I been able to improve in English and achieving a Band 6 for my HSC, Emma has taught me the values I need to carry into the real world. She ensures that that each and every one of her students can grow and flourish in their own ways. Having Emma and David as my mentor for the last two years of highschool has been a great honour for me and no words can describe my appreciation and gratitude for their kindness and never ending push to improving my English and my future. If you’re looking for an English tutor, I would definitely recommend FOCI EDUCATION!!!!!!

Being a recent graduate from school I can proudly say that Foci education supported me in my HSC journey. Both Emma and David have created such an amazing environment for their students not only to learn effectively but to also create bond amongst the students themselves. In my time at Foci I have made good friends with my fellow students because of the cool study session that Foci provides. I am forever grateful that I had Emma and David helping in my last year of high school.

David and Emma are amazing tutors. We are very happy with the level of tuition they have given, as well as their very friendly manner and professional approach. We wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend Foci Education to anyone after such a service.
