High School Courses
Created by our partner high school organisation, offered by your trusted Alpha One branches.
Our High School Partner, Knoji
In 2022, Alpha One Coaching and Simply English Tutoring officially joined forces to launch a high school tutoring organisation that reflects our shared dedication to providing supportive, small-group classes across core school subjects. This organisation is called Knoji. The two companies, stemming from the same root values that drive Alpha One Coaching, work closely in partnership to bring small, supportive group classes to our community.
Knoji’s Mission
Knoji shares the same supportive small group class structure as Alpha One Coaching, but it has high school student specific offerings to empower students within and beyond the classroom. These complimentary services includes:
Student-focused academic consultations that help students problem solve learning barriers such as how to beat procrastination, how to create an effective study plan and which subjects to select to maximise academic results.
Industry professional talks from doctors, lawyers, programmers and more to help students understand what each career path looks like and make informed choices about their careers.
Mentorship seminars that share crucial information for each stage of the schooling process such as subject selection and how scaling affects HSC results.
