Instead of rote learning, we focus on confidence, communication, and curiosity — so your child feels excited and prepared for their first day of school.

If your child is struggling to keep up in class, losing confidence, or saying they don’t like school, tutoring can help. At Absolutely 4 Kids Tutoring in Mackay, we use a child-led approach that makes learning fun and pressure-free, while building the skills they need to thrive. If your child learns a little differently or takes a little longer to grasp concepts, our play-based and hands on approach to tutoring will support them.

We work with children from 1 year old through primary school age. Our programs range from playgroups and infant support, through to individual tutoring sessions for school-aged children. Each session is adapted to your child’s needs on the day.

We don’t just sit children at a desk with worksheets or rote learning. Instead, we combine play-based, multi-sensory and hands on learning in our tutoring, and school readiness programs to meet your child exactly where they’re at and keep them engaged. This approach helps children rediscover their love of learning, grow in confidence, and feel supported every step of the way.
