We prepare students for the ASET and private school scholarship exams.
We run an eight week term for Year 4 and Year 5 students in Perth, built around a weekly two hour Workshop of four students and a weekly one-on-one Clinic. Every week we find your child's mistakes and fix them before the next class.
Send us a message and we will talk through whether it is the right fit for your child.
Our first cohort improved 30% from baseline to final mock.
Measured on official ASET-style mocks, across an eight week term. That is the cohort average taken across every student, including the one who did not improve.
Total mock score, every student, all three mocks
Every student dipped at Mock 2 and three of the four jumped at Mock 3. Getting a student through that middle dip is most of the work.

| Student | Mock 1 | Mock 2 | Mock 3 | Baseline | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Student 1 | 66.5 | 62 | 92 | 64.25 | +43.2% |
| Student 2 | 70.5 | 59 | 88.5 | 64.75 | +36.7% |
| Student 3 | 71 | 65 | 89.5 | 68 | +31.6% |
| Student 4 | 73 | 62 | 67 | 67.5 | -0.7% |
| Cohort average | 70.25 | 62 | 84.25 | 66.13 | +30.2% |
Early results from our first cohort of four students, 2026. Improvement is each student's final mock measured against their own baseline, which is the average of their first two mocks. We are happy to walk you through them.
We are starting new programs.
The Year 4 and Year 5 scholarship entry track is running now. These are the ones starting next.
Selective and scholarship entry, past Year 4 and 5
Other year levels and other entry points, including families who come to us later than most.
Strong students working past their year level
The same diagnostic and the same patching loop, aimed at their school work, for a child capable of more than the year level in front of them.
The top end, and the years that decide it
Competition maths rewards what this system already trains, which is narrow practice on the thing you cannot do yet with fast feedback. So does an ATAR subject.
Only the exam track has run a full term and carries results. Everything else is being built, and the families who register decide the order. Tell us what your child needs in the enquiry form and it counts towards what runs next.

Why is it 50% off?
I am still building this. Honest feedback and a few real testimonials are worth more to me at this stage than charging full price.
The price rises over time. It has already risen since last term, and existing families keep the rate they started on.
Started and run by Nathan Hubbard.
Nathan started West Scholars and runs it. He sat these exams as a student.

The Zero Gaps Scientific Scholar System
Nothing your child gets wrong stays wrong. It runs as a weekly loop: we teach it, they practise it, we fix what broke one-on-one, then the next week's work aims at whatever is still weak. That loop runs every week of the eight week term.
We teach the skill in the Workshop
Two hours, four students, in person. We teach one new skill, show it worked through, then the group tries it with help before each student does it on their own. Four in the room means we see every student's working during the session.
Your child practises it that week
Homework is built from the questions they actually got wrong, part of it on paper and part of it on our practice platform. Every question carries a written explanation, and many carry a video walkthrough as well, so a student stuck at eight on a Tuesday night has a way forward.
We go through it one-on-one in the Clinic
45 minutes face to face, every week of the term. We go through what your child got wrong, teach it again a different way, then have them redo it while they can still remember what they were thinking the first time.
We patch the holes that are left
Every wrong answer is tagged to the skill behind it, so by the end of a week we can see which narrow slice of the syllabus is costing your child the most marks. The next week's homework aims at that slice, and the skill keeps being retested until it stops coming back.
The vocabulary revision and the patching loop are spaced repetition and deliberate practice, two of the best evidenced findings in learning research. Ask us and we will walk you through how we apply both.
