Hatchery is a self-directed learning platform that allows students to study at their own pace and schedule. With clear analytics, students can easily track their progress and adjust their study routine as needed.
Our smart question-bank and weekly progress reports provide students with the guidance and feedback they need to stay on track and achieve their goals. The progress reports help students understand how they are doing and identify areas where they may need to focus more attention.
Our most successful families start preparing for the Selective School Exam 1-2 years before the date of the exam. This gives students enough time to build a strong foundation of the necessary skills and knowledge, and to practice applying them through simulated test questions and other preparatory materials.
While starting earlier can certainly be beneficial, it is important to keep in mind that every child is different and some may need more or less time to prepare. Ultimately, the most important factor is that your child feels confident and comfortable with the material and is able to demonstrate their abilities to the best of their ability on exam day.
Yes, Hatchery is designed to provide comprehensive support for students as they learn how to tackle test questions. In addition to our individualised feedback on each student's progress, we offer interactive, live teaching sessions led by expert tutors who are skilled in both the subject matter and psychometric testing.
Our online community also enables students to collaborate and learn from each other through online study groups, which can make the learning process more engaging and effective.
No, Hatchery does not include private tutoring as part of its programs. Instead, we use advanced algorithms and technology to provide personalised feedback and guidance on each student's progress, just as a private tutor would.
This allows us to offer a flexible and convenient education experience at an affordable price, without sacrificing the quality of support. Whether you are looking for a self-directed learning platform to supplement your child's education or as a primary source of academic support, Hatchery can help your child achieve their goals.
If your child already has a tutor, Hatchery can still be a valuable resource for supplementing their learning and helping them track their progress. Our platform provides access to thousands of high quality test questions and comparative analytics, which can help students see how they are performing against their peers.
Hatchery can be easily integrated into your child's existing tutoring regimen to provide additional support and guidance. Whether your child is working with a tutor or studying independently, Hatchery can help them achieve their academic goals.
Yes. Currently, we have a no-question-asked refund policy. It might change in the future when most of the features from the roadmap are implemented.
