Private Tutoring for General Ability – K-6
General Ability (GA for short) is a major component in the Selective and OC tests that primary school students face in years 6 and 4 respectively. It is often misunderstood as it’s not exactly a subject that’s part of their day to day school curriculum. However when students are faced with the prospect of having to do well in the Selective or OC tests, they are confused as to what they can do to prepare for ‘General Ability’. Dux Private Tutoring can help with this! Our tutors are deeply familiar with the requirements of this component, and how to best prepare for it. We have the experience and the materials needed to help a student excel in this area in preparation for their exams.
