Our tutors are all about results. Excel in 2017, 2018 and beyond.
Our tutors are all professional, engaging and enthusiastic with all tutors achieving an excellent study score in their respective subjects. Getting results for the student is directly related to the tutor’s content knowledge (their study score), their ability to communicate effectively, and their ability to build a relationship with the student founded on trust and similar interests. Being a great tutor is not only about the study score, but how well the tutor interacts and engages with the student. Here’s how it works.
All tutors are provided with comprehensive training as well as offered the opportunity to attend regular meetups! All LearnMate tutors are also trained and verified for your benefit. All of our tutors have had their ID verified during our interview and screening process, and their Working With Children Certification is stored on file. Every lesson gets rated by you, and we guarantee your experience will be great with the tutor you select.

So, how does tutoring work exactly? What are the benefits and advantages?
Tutoring presents many benefits and advantages to both students and parents. We have found that students request tutoring because of two possible reasons:
- They are struggling in class and can’t keep up with the work and/or teacher.
- They are already getting very good results in class, but want to attain a competitive edge.
Our tutors attend the lessons with the intent of encouraging the student to think for themselves and to feel confident during their assessments. During your first lesson, the tutor will aim to get to know you, including your personality, your learning style, your interests and aspirations. They will then tailor their lessons according to your requirements. If you are unsure about what your requirements are, then make sure you advise the tutor and he/she will aim to work this out for you.
Ultimately, the lessons will be conducted with your end goal in sight, which is why it’s generally a good idea to have a study score or ATAR goal in mind before commencing lessons.
Our mission is simple: to provide professional, engaging and enthusiastic high school, HSC, IB, SACE, WACE & VCE tutors to students, while also ensuring the student feels empowered and confident during their assessments! Our tutors are all about inciting a greater level of inquisitiveness and independence in the student to ensure they can complete their own assessments independently. Ultimately, our goal is to empower students all over Australia to achieve amazing results and make their dreams come true!
In addition, all of our tutors are matched with students not only on study score but also on interests and suitability. We believe it’s important that the student and tutor have a good social rapport, as this is what fosters a comfortable environment in which the student can ask the tutor questions. Our tutors are also trained via our comprehensive online tutor training course, provided to all new tutors upon induction.
