Meet the tutors →Workshops taught by Melbourne High students who sat the selective entry exam and made it in. Real methods, smart shortcuts and plenty of practice, all aimed at one thing: getting your child into a selective school.
Every Ladder tutor studies at Melbourne High School. They know this exam because they beat it, and they remember exactly what it took.
Most tutoring is homework help. Ladder is preparation for one exam, run by people who have already cleared it.
