Learnmate began in 2015 as a small English-tutoring service and has grown into Australia's tutoring marketplace, connecting families with 750+ independent tutors across 110+ subjects. Search profiles and message tutors free, or post a job and let tutors come to you. Tutors set their own rates; Learnmate provides verified profiles, real reviews, secure payments and support.
Tutors set their own rates, from $30/hr + GST for recent graduates and university-student tutors to $100+/hr for qualified teachers and top specialists. As a guide, 2025 hourly rate averages on Learnmate were: Primary $41/hr, Years 7–10 $54/hr, Years 11–12 $65/hr, overall $61/hr. These averages make Learnmate up to 50% cheaper than tutoring agencies.
There are no lock-in contracts, and prepaid packages are available for extra savings.
Agencies hide tutor profiles, fix prices (typically $85/hr+) and keep a significant cut of what you pay. Learnmate is built to be maximally rewarding for tutors: they set their own rates and keep the substantial majority of every lesson, which is why great tutors join and stay. You choose your tutor from full profiles with real reviews, and the 100% Good Fit Guarantee means you can switch anytime.
Every tutor passes an extensive application review before approval and must meet minimum criteria to be listed on Learnmate. That means tutors on Learnmate are typically only qualified teachers, 97+ ATAR achievers, high-achieving university students, professionals and expert tutors. Tutors working with school-aged students must declare they hold a current Working With Children Check, and where you see the WWCC badge on a profile, we've verified it directly. We also encourage child-safe lesson practices: parents are welcome to sit in, in-person lessons should be held in shared or public spaces, and online lessons run through Learnmate's virtual classroom.
