Minimum requirements

People come to Learnmate with specific learning objectives in mind and it is important that tutors are able to help them achieve those objectives. Accordingly, it is important that you have the ability, experience, knowledge and resources (or willing to obtain them) to get the best out of your students. This generally means having materials, plans and resources to provide your clients.

You can view the minimum requirements we typically look for before approving tutors on our registration page.

Not sure if you meet the minimum requirements or worried you don't have enough experience? Tutors and coaches at all stages of their careers use Learnmate. Whether that's a 18 year old looking for their first student after finishing school or a qualified teacher of 20 years. We recommend applying regardless. The most important thing we look for in tutors is passion and commitment to helping others achieve their learning goals.

Tutors and coaches must apply to list on Learnmate and meet certain minimum requirements before approved to list. Learnmate reviews all applications to ensure that tutors and coaches meet a minimum level of relevant experience and/or qualification.

  • personally excelled at the subjects they teach.

Additionally, all tutors and coaches are required to maintain a current Working with Children Check to work with students under the age of 18 in Australia. Please ensure you ask to see and verify your tutor's Working with Children Check prior to engaging any tutor for students under the age of 18.

Tutors and coaches are available both online and in-person all across Australia. Whether you’re in a metropolitan CBD or living in a remote location, there will be someone for you on Learnmate.

Tutors choose where and how they tutor - some will tutor online and in-person and some may only do one or the other. You can use Learnmate's filters located on the left hand side of your search (if you can't see it, press the little green tab) to see if there are tutors near you.

The availability of in-person tutoring will depend on your location and particular need. As tutors have spent the last few years learning and teaching online, we're confident they have mastered teaching online and can be just as effective as if they were in-person. 

Option 1. Contact tutors

Once you have found a tutor or coach that you want to work with, click 'Contact tutor' on their profile to reach out to the tutor directly. Discuss your requirements with the tutor, ask questions about their experience, availability and rates and decide if you want to proceed to lessons. If you do, and your tutor is available at a suitable time, ask them to schedule lessons in; you will receive notifications when lessons are booked and they will start to appear in your calendar on Learnmate.

Option 2. Request a lesson

Alternatively, you can request a lesson directly from a tutor by clicking 'Request lesson' on a tutor's profile and provide your tutoring requirements, desired day and times for a lesson.

If you are looking to request an in-person lesson, make sure your tutor is in your area by using Learnmate's advanced location filter. To increase the likelihood your tutor can fit you in, we suggest that you request for your first lesson to be online.

If your tutor is available, they will schedule in your lesson and you will be notified once it is booked in your calendar on Learnmate.

Learnmate is a cashless platform.

To have lessons with a tutor, users need to join Learnmate and have a valid credit or debit card linked to the account. You will be prompted on sign-up to add connect a credit card to your account. As per our Terms & Conditions, cash payment and direct transfers are not accepted.

Automated payments. 

Payment will be automatically processed from the credit or debit card linked to your account 24 hours after each lesson.

Privacy & Security

Learnmate uses Stripe, one of the most trusted payment providers, to process and securely and privately store payment information. Learnmate does not store or have any visibility over your payment information.

The likes of Airbnb, Amazon, Zoom, Atlassian, Shopify and many other companies you deal with on a day-to-day basis all use Stripe to process payments. 

You're in safe and secure hands with Stripe. 

If you're engaging a tutor for a school student, the answer will depend on the student’s specific needs, current level and goals.

Evidence for Learning (2020) believe that optimum impact is achieved in one-to-one tutoring where short (roughly 30 minute) regular lessons are completed 3-5 times per week (i.e. 1.5-2.5 hours per week) over a set period of time. Our data suggests this is most suitable for younger and primary school tuition, whereas Year 11-12 tuition tends to be longer (1-1.5 hours) lessons and should occur 1-2 times per week.
