For about seventy years (1950 to 2018), the Ionic Coaching Service helped students, years 6 to 12 (VCE) in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
From around (2008 to circa 2017?) school tutoring was expanded into the western suburbs of Melbourne to help years 4 to 10 school children: the Doric Coaching Service helped students in the western suburbs of Melbourne.
These free services focused on English and Mathematics tutoring. They were run by volunteers who were associated with Freemasonry, many being Freemasons themselves who were current or retired secondary school teachers.
Unfortunately, both the Ionic and Doric Coaching Services no longer operate. I will see if I can obtain more detail on their demise and / or a history of the service.
Below is the historic image and edited text that was used by the now defunct Ionic Coaching Service.
Ionic Coaching Service was a Victorian community based coaching service that was dedicated to helping all children improve performance in English and Mathematics.
Ionic helped children improve learning skills, gain confidence and overcome obstacles to their success.
The program covered students from year 6 to year 12 - regardless of background or circumstances, with classes conducted by fully qualified teachers in a small group format - a proven environment for success.
Study periods were usually an hour of Math and an hour of English per session for years 6 - 10. Special extended study periods in either subject were arranged for years 11 - 12 students.
Tuition was held between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. on Saturday mornings, so students could complete the extra tuition early - with a minimum of disruption to their weekend free time. Sessions were last held at the Box HIll Masonic Centre.
