NAPLAN preparation, literacy and numeracy support — online or in-person nationwide

Primary school tutoring is sought for three main reasons: catching up when a child is falling behind in literacy or numeracy, preparing for NAPLAN in Years 3 and 5, or building ahead for selective secondary entry and scholarship testing. NAPLAN tests all Australian primary students in Years 3 and 5, covering reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy. Tests run in May and June, and preparation typically starts in Term 1. Tutors on Learnmate align sessions to the Australian Curriculum at each year level, from foundational phonics and number sense in Kindergarten and Year 1 through to the extended reading, writing and mathematical reasoning of Years 5 and 6.

Online delivery is a particular strength of Learnmate’s primary school tutoring network — giving families in regional Australia, outer metropolitan suburbs and rural areas access to qualified classroom teachers and NAPLAN specialists they may not find locally. In-person tutoring is available across all major cities: browse Primary School Tutors Melbourne, Primary School Tutors Sydney, Primary School Tutors Perth, Primary School Tutors Adelaide and Primary School Tutors Brisbane for city-specific tutor listings and suburb coverage.

Why Australian Families Choose Learnmate for Primary School Tutoring

Australia’s leading tutoring marketplace — primary school specialists in every city

Learnmate is Australia’s leading online tutoring marketplace, connecting families with verified primary school tutors across every city, subject and year level. For primary school families, Learnmate provides access to tutors who understand the Australian Curriculum at each year level, know the NAPLAN assessment framework for Years 3 and 5, and have specific experience supporting students from Kindergarten through Year 6. All tutors are verified before listing, and payments are processed automatically after each lesson — no cash, no invoicing, no lock-in contracts.

Private one-on-one primary school tutoring works best when sessions target the specific literacy or numeracy skill a child needs to strengthen at their current year level — not a fixed programme delivered at group pace. Learnmate lets families browse by subject, compare credentials and reach out directly to a tutor whose experience matches their child’s needs. From $44/hr, well below the cost of tutoring centres, with no intake process and no obligation beyond the first session.

Testimonials

What our Students Think About Learnmate


VesnaReviews rating

Holly has tutored my son for almost a year. She was able to quickly build trust and rapport with my son and target his needs through testing & weekly exercises. My son commenced grade 6, six months “behind standard” in Writing, Spelling and Comprehension and is now “at standard” and “exceeding expectation” for Comprehension. Thanks Holly, this success is attributed to your experience & expertise!

FiReviews rating

Sona has been fantastic with my daughter, Jess who is in primary school. The marks are going up so seeing the results but the best thing is Jess’ confidence is improving and she’s enjoying maths more. I see good consistency, patience and alignment with the school’s approach. It has been effective since the first session.

ShakeelaReviews rating

Tutoring has made my daughter more confident in her essay writing!

AdmiraReviews rating

Jaye is a wonderful lady and has helped my primary school age son work his averages up in his class a lot.

BernadetteReviews rating

My primary school son has responded well to receiving online tutoring sessions, possibly more receptive than in person. The tutor has helped to extend his writing whilst keeping him focused during the 1 hour session.

KyraReviews rating

Samantha is friendly, personable and professional. The tutoring sessions were personalised and catered to my sons primary grade level and educational needs. I highly recommend Samantha's service.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

How much does primary school tutoring cost in Australia?
Tutors on Learnmate set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on each profile before you reach out. The platform average for primary school tutoring was $44 per hour in 2025, typically ranging from $30 for recent graduates through to $70+ for qualified classroom teachers or specialists with extensive primary school experience. Payments are processed automatically by Learnmate after each lesson — no cash or direct payment required. Many tutors offer a first lesson free.
What year levels do primary school tutors on Learnmate cover?
Tutors on Learnmate cover all primary school year levels from Kindergarten (or Prep in Victoria) through Year 6 — including the early years (Kindergarten to Year 2) for foundational phonics, reading and numeracy, and upper primary (Years 3 to 6) for NAPLAN preparation, extended literacy and mathematical reasoning. Sessions align to the Australian Curriculum at each year level, and tutors adapt to the specific syllabus and learning outcomes of each state.
Can a primary school tutor help my child prepare for NAPLAN?
Yes — NAPLAN preparation is one of the most common reasons Australian families seek a primary school tutor. NAPLAN tests students in Years 3 and 5 across four domains: reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy. Tests are held in May and June each year. Tutors on Learnmate work through all four NAPLAN domains, build test-taking strategies and help students approach the test with confidence. Many tutors also support general primary literacy and numeracy alongside specific NAPLAN preparation.
Do primary school tutors offer online sessions?
Yes — all tutors on Learnmate are available for online sessions via video call using Zoom, Google Meet or Learnmate’s sponsored platform, Lessonspace. Online delivery is particularly valuable for families in regional Australia, outer suburban areas or states where highly credentialled primary school specialists may not be available locally. Many tutors offer both online and in-person formats, and sessions are scheduled directly with the tutor at times that suit your family.
What subjects do primary school tutors cover?
Tutors on Learnmate cover all core primary school subjects aligned to the Australian Curriculum — including English (reading, writing, spelling, comprehension, grammar and phonics), Mathematics (number, algebra, measurement, geometry and statistics) and Science. Many tutors also support NAPLAN preparation across all four test domains and scholarship or selective entry coaching for students preparing for secondary school entry tests. Subject coverage is listed on each tutor’s profile.
How is Learnmate different from a tutoring centre for primary school?
A primary school tutor on Learnmate delivers one-on-one sessions built entirely around your child’s specific year level, syllabus gaps and current assessment needs — with no fixed programme, no group sessions and no lock-in enrolment. Tutoring centres typically use a standardised programme delivered to small groups at a fixed weekly time and higher base cost. One-on-one tutoring adapts week to week as your child’s needs and school programme shift throughout the term.
