This company is by far the most inflexible and unscrupulous company I have ever come across. I lost over $1000 due to a sudden tutor resignation. The staff said that I was under a contract and thus had to pay out. However, why should I pay for a service that was not received? I am baffled as to how this company has been running for so long and scamming families for even longer. The staff pretend to be professional but it is all part of their scheme to get you to pay them more money. They refuse to refund for a shortcoming on their part and I will seek legal assistance to get my money back... More...

Our experience is very disappointing with this company. We lost $700 (4 * 2hour tutoring sessions), that couldn't use due to the sudden educator resignation, educator didn't show up and poor communication with management. They lock you up with a term contract and was really bad set up for the customer. Would never use them in future. More...

Janelle was my tutor all through year 12 and supported me immensely through an academically strenuous time. Not only did she help me bump up my grades from just passing to A’s, but she also helped me discover my own methods of problem solving and critical thinking, and assisted me in using them in context of various school assessments, which will be extremely helpful in my University studies next year. After having many tutors over the years, Janelle was absolutely the most impactful, and I would encourage anyone who not only needs support in a humanities subject, but also who needs support in learning more about themselves and the world around them to have Janelle as their tutor. -Frank More...

Full spectrum education, the teachers that really need to support our children especially vce students. My daughter had John who was her tutor, he actually got my child passing year 12 vce. He never gave up on her. He puts alot of effort to teach. I highly recommend you to go ahead, just the way I did and see how satisfied you will be. I'll give 100% for John for all the effort and getting my daughter passing year 12 More...

I cannot emphasize enough what a disaster my experience has been with this tutoring service. Exercise extreme caution before signing any contracts with them.
In just three weeks, I had to endure the frustration of dealing with three different tutors and many no-shows and sudden cancellations on their part.
Despite the evident lack of delivery on their end, they refused to cancel the contract. It's baffling how a company can demonstrate such unreliability and still expect clients to honor an agreement they clearly cannot uphold.
I would strongly advise against getting involved with this service unless you're prepared for a headache. Feel free to reach out if you'd like more details on this unfortunate ordeal.

I had high expectations for Full Spectrum Education based on their promising website and the range of services they offer.
Unfortunately, my experience did not live up to the hype.
Firstly, the cost of the tutoring sessions was quite high, which I initially thought would be justified by personalized attention and experienced tutors. However, the value for the price paid just wasn't there. The sessions were not as tailored to my child's needs as I was led to believe they would be, and I didn't see the progress I was expecting.
We also had a challenging time finding a tutor who was a good match for my child's personality and learning style. The first tutor we were paired with had a very different approach to learning than what my child needed, and it took several tries before we found someone who was a better fit. This process was time-consuming and frustrating.
Additionally, scheduling was more difficult than anticipated. The flexibility I was hoping for wasn't present, and we often had to adjust our personal schedules significantly to fit into the available slots. This lack of convenience was a significant downside for us.
Communication with the service was another area where I saw room for improvement. Responses to my inquiries were slow, and when I expressed concerns about the tutoring sessions, the solutions offered were not as effective or immediate as I had hoped.
For the cost and the effort involved, I expected a more seamless, effective, and personalised service.

This company is horrific. They are nice to you over the phone until you sign the contract, then the harassment ensues. Constant phone calls, rude behaviour and inflexibility. Despite the fact that they are in business because of their clients, they insist on company 'policy' which is not part of the contract so there is no way for you to know until after you're pulled in. They also refuse to issue refunds for classes that have not been attended even though they have not supplied the service. The owner has horrible people skills and does not know how to deal with clients whatsoever and likes to pressure parents into paying upfront. They also gave my child an english teacher eventhough I specifically requested a maths teacher. They clearly did not have the right staff but were too cowardly to admit it. I also dont even know if their teachers are actually certified at their jobs or whether they are just teaching because they were rejected from real schools. More...

Melinda is absolutely a blessing to any teen student she just know how to handle their teenage behaviour and make them be on the right track
With all the knowledge, patience and experience she was able to get my teen boy to be a strong independent man.
I just can't thank her enough.
Thank you Mel totally appreciate your efforts.

Very good attitude and willingness to help which is especially useful with shy students. We do not have any negative issues with Michael and greatly appreciated his efforts in helping our daughter achieve her goal.

My son received great support from Michael. He taught him some great skills for setting up a regular study routine and strategies for breaking down assignment work and studying for exams. Thank you for not only helping him with his upcoming assessment but also for up-skilling him for post school study. More...

My daughter was in prep when it was highlighted she was struggling to learn to read. She is a smart child but needed some extra help in this area. I did some research and came across full spectrum and contacted Ben. The idea was to find the right tutor who connected with your child and taught them in a way that they could understand. Dana came into our lives and has spent the last 18 months building my child’s confidence and her ability to read and write. We can’t thank Dana enough for helping map out the basics that will allow her to continue to succeed in learning and best of all enjoy her reading and writing! More...

We are so happy we found our son’s tutor, Michael, through Full Spectrum Education, he has really helped build our son’s confidence over the semester and we are seeing improvement with his grades in senior method maths.
Communication is made so easy and Michael goes over and above to work around our schedule and provide extra support when our son needs it.

I came across Full Spectrum after a desperate search for a tutor for my son. My requirements were specific and was disappointed with the organisations I had trialed.
When I came across Full Spectrum I was impressed with the fact finding meeting I had to ascertain my requirements.
Matching our son up with Janelle has surpassed all my expectations. Janelle’s intuitive coaching style, her depth of experience and her feedback has seen a dramatic turn around in my son’s academic performance. While the results are impressive it’s my son’s increased confidence level that Janelle has quietly worked on.
Janelle’s in depth industry experience and dedication to her profession has plugged a large gap I and the school system could not fill.
I’m grateful to Full Spectrum and in particular Janelle for all their hard work and dedication in supporting my son in his educational journey.

When I first met Ben Maher the CEO of Full Spectrum I knew I was in good hands, he took the time to listen to what I was wanting. He understood my daughters needs and matched me with the right tutor for her. John was dedicated, and friendly and I saw a lot of process in my child. I highly recommend the service. More...

Working with the teachers from Full Spectrum has been amazing. They worked with my son, understanding his challenges and finding alternate ways to make his learning experience amazing. They identified gaps in his knowledge and worked on fun ways to help him build his basic knowledge. They helped and guided on his school work, while looking ahead to see what else was required for his future learning. They also provided feedback to us (the parents) about how we can support him in his education. It has been an amazing experience from the very first meeting. More...

I want to express my utmost satisfaction with the tutoring services provided by Johnathon at ‘Full Education Spectrum’ for the past 3 years of my senior schooling.
From the outset, Johnathon demonstrated not only a profound understanding of the subject matter but also a rare ability to communicate complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner. Helping me achieve the best possible grade in my following senior subjects: General English, General Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology.
What sets Johnathon apart is his unwavering patience and dedication to me, when I don’t understand a concept he will link it to a real life event and explain the concept until I have full understanding of it. He took the time to understand my individual learning style and tailored his approach accordingly. This personalised attention significantly boosted my confidence in tackling challenging topics.
Johnathon's commitment to fostering a positive and conducive learning environment is truly commendable. His passion for the subject matter is infectious, making each session not only educational but also enjoyable. I found myself looking forward to our tutoring sessions, knowing that I would come away with a deeper understanding of the material.
As a result of Johnathon's guidance, my academic performance has witnessed a marked improvement. I have not only grasped intricate concepts that previously seemed daunting but have also developed a newfound enthusiasm for the subjects. I wholeheartedly endorse Johnathon and the ‘Full Education Spectrum’ company for anyone seeking not just academic assistance but a transformative learning experience.

Exceeded all expectations! I am a 30yo uni student who started an engineering degree without any study since school. From the initial consult with Ben to understand my needs, to being allocated the perfect tutor in Michael F, I went from being completely overwhelmed with the content, to passing the final exam and getting 80/100 marks. Extremely impressed with their service and am returning for more tutoring to finish my degree. Couldn’t have done it without them 👍 More...

My son has been having lessons with Full Spectrum for a term. We were looking for a service that provided customised and differentiated lessons and Full Spectrum provided this for our child. The teacher has taught him above and beyond what my child is being taught in school and caters for his learning needs. I have noticed my child being more independent and outgoing from the lessons. I would definitely recommend. More...

Jacinta Colley
Our experience with Full Spectrum and in particular their tutor Kanchan Rattnam has been very refreshing. From initial consultation through to allocation of our educator the correspondence and attention to detail was excellent. Above all Full Spectrum are fortunate enough to have educators like Kanchan who has the ability to read children's personalities and leverage on their strengths while building confidence on their weakness's. Our son worked with Kanchan for over 12months and their relationship along with bond was very positive to watch unfold. I highly recommend you take the time to speak to Full Spectrum if you are looking for personalised tutoring. More...
Suzanne
We previously had an absolutely wonderful tutor for my son and after he left Full Spectrum Education to pursue his career further, my son didn’t want another tutor (because he had been so fond of him).
So fast forward a year and my son being accepting of another tutor again, we naturally went back to Full Spectrum and have been matched with yet another amazing tutor.
I would highly recommend this business!

I suspect that this tutoring organization is more geared towards tutoring for primary and secondary students. They tried to pair me up with someone with an expertise in another field re tertiary level in the STEM who was more the E/M in STEM rather than the T in STEM whose experience was only applicable for 1st year 'T" students regarding STEM but not applicable for people studying the "T" in STEM for 2nd and 3rd year uni students.
The thing is I don't understand why they bothered to send someone out to talk to me in the first place and waste their time when I already specified Computer Science as an area for tutoring; why couldn't they check their list of tutors first.
Here's what STEM is for those who don't know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science,_technology,_engineering,_and_mathematics
They did get back to me to me with their idea of a tutor rather quickly though. Tutor was interested in creating an app for their custom Ubuntu installation on their mobile as IT was not their focus of their background.
Also I tried to ask whether they had another tutor in the actual field but they never replied (I had been in hospital for a month) when I emailed so tutoring hadn't been a priority then and I didn't mention this fact in the email. I guess they assume I wasn't really interested in the tutoring and so they didn't get back to me; guess they didn't want to admit there wasn't anyone suitable.
Also they don't have a signup form for people who want to pay by payment upfront via bank details they insist on credit card details.
