Develop by tutors from Oxford and Cambridge University, StarWorks aims to build strong foundational hard and soft skills to set students up for success.
Taught by tutors from Oxford University for students ages 13-16.
We developed StarWorks, a university preparation program, to help students during their formative years (ages 13 to 16) to discover their innate abilities, to extend their knowledge beyond a school syllabus and to make them capable of finding their own fulfilment in life.
Students get an opprtunity to strengthen concepts they learned in school and apply it to advanced questions.
Our Tutors who graduated from Oxford University provide engaging lessons that boost your child’s academic performance.
