READ MOREFind primary school tutors across Australia for every year level from Kindergarten through Year 6 — including early literacy, NAPLAN preparation and extension work for advanced learners.
Browse qualified primary school teachers, NAPLAN preparation specialists and high-achieving university graduates with experience tutoring younger learners — all verified and reviewed.
Tutors cover all four NAPLAN domains — reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy — for Years 3 and 5 across every state, with preparation aligned to the Australian Curriculum.
Every session is 1:1 and personalised to your child’s year level, learning pace and specific gaps — in-person in your city or online from anywhere in Australia.
Learnmate connects families with primary school tutoring specialists across literacy, numeracy, NAPLAN preparation and selective school entry coaching in every major Australian city.

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.
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.
