Maths, English and NAPLAN practice that shows you what your child actually understands.
Australian curriculum, built in Melbourne, running for more than twelve years.
Ninety-nine dollars a year for one child. A hundred and forty-nine for two.
Trust is not built overnight
SubjectCoach has been helping Australian families for more than twelve years. Long enough that a child who started with us in Foundation has now finished Year 12. Here is everything else you would want to check, before you think about the price.
We are not a reseller, not an overseas app, and not a subscription that hides the cancel button. Read our Terms and Privacy Policy.
Is my card safe?
We would rather tell you all of this plainly than have you find out afterwards.
We never see your card details
Payments are handled by Stripe, the same payment processor used by Amazon, Shopify and Xero. Your card number goes directly to Stripe and is never stored on our servers.
Cancelling
You can cancel from your account dashboard at any time, or email support@subjectcoach.com. To stop an automatic renewal, give us at least 14 days notice before your renewal date.
Refunds
Parent plans come with a 24 hour money back guarantee. If it is not right for you, tell us within 24 hours of signing up and we will refund the purchase, less the 1.75% card processing fee.
After that the plan runs for the full term and we do not offer partial refunds. Full detail is in our Terms.
What do I actually get?
For ninety-nine dollars a year, one child gets all of this. Not a starter tier.
Will my child actually use it?
Yes, with a bit of help from you at the start.
Almost no child opens a learning app by themselves in week one, and that is completely normal. Sit with them for the first few sessions. Fifteen or twenty minutes, at the same time each day, is plenty. You are not teaching, you are just there.
Then the good bit. After a fortnight it usually stops being a negotiation, and most children settle into it on their own. The weekly plan means there is nothing for them to decide, and the streaks and reward points do more work than most parents expect. From there they are largely on autopilot, and you get to go back to being a parent rather than a homework supervisor.
Two weeks of sitting alongside them is what makes the rest of the year run itself.
Getting the most out of it
The families who get their money's worth do roughly these things.
In the first week
- Set the right year level. If your child is finding it easy, move it up. Being slightly stretched is the point.
- Let them do a few sessions before you look at anything. First results are not a diagnosis.
- Pick a time. After dinner, before screens, whatever fits. The same time matters more than the length.
Every week
- Follow the weekly plan rather than choosing skills yourself.
- Check your parent view once a week, not every night. Daily checking turns practice into surveillance and children can feel it.
- Ask about one thing they got right, not the one they got wrong.
Every month
- Have them write one piece and submit it for feedback. Writing improves slowest and gets neglected most.
- Look at the mastery markers rather than the scores. Green means it stuck.
Before NAPLAN
- Start eight weeks out, not two. Two weeks is cramming and children can tell.
- Do full practice tests, timed. The format is what catches them out, not the maths.
What not to do
- Do not sit next to them the whole time. The point is that they get stuck and work through it.
- Do not use it as a punishment. That association is very hard to undo.
