Exceptional students deserve exceptional educators

Selective schools look for more than academic excellence; they seek well-rounded, aspirational, ethical young people who they believe can be moulded into the next generation of leaders and innovators. For you to meet their expectations — and more than that, to stand out from the throng of exceptional applicants — you will need to work with educators who intimately understand the exam and selection process.

We have marshalled years of research and our collective decades as selective school teachers to develop the most effective selective school tutoring program in Victoria. By incorporating world-class teaching practices, mindset and motivation techniques and personal development sessions, our educators will turn you into the dream student for your dream school.

You’ll gain more from Integral’s educators than any other tutor

We sincerely believe in the professional educator’s responsibility to their students, and we began Integral because we knew that responsibility was not being respected. We aim to change that.
