Our tutors are all professional, personable and enthusiastic with all tutors achieving an excellent study score in their respective subjects. To become a tutor with LearnMate, all tutors must possess a valid Working with Children’s Check (a card supplied by the Government), and they must also complete a detailed questionnaire and complete online training. Further, all tutors are provided with online resources and opportunities to attend frequent collaborative meetups with other tutors. Being a great tutor is not just about their knowledge, but also about how well the tutor builds a relationship with the student founded on similar interests!
All tutors are provided with comprehensive training as well as offered the opportunity to attend regular meetups!

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.
Our tutors are about getting great results. 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 interests. Being a great tutor is not only about the study score, but how well the tutor interacts and engages with the student.

You are never committed to any tutor for any period of time.
All LearnMate tutors are knowledgeable in their respective field and have the study score to back up their knowledge and expertise. Each of our tutors have perfected their subject and have a wealth of knowledge to pass onto the student!
All tutor’s credentials (their study scores) are verified by LearnMate against online databases, which are publicly available. We also ensure that all tutors have a valid Working With Children Check, which ensures that adults can work with minors. If tutors do not satisfy these two minimal requirements, then they are not considered for positions.
LearnMate was founded by Dmitri Dalla-Riva, a former VCE English Language tutor from Melbourne, who couldn’t keep up with demand. You can read more about his story here.
