Our son had the first introductory lesson with Gauravi for Chemistry and UCAT preparation. and we found her to be precise and supportive.

Is private tutoring better than group tutoring?
For those who have trouble focusing in groups or require targeted support, private tutoring is a great option. Through one on one tutoring, students’ specific strengths and weaknesses can be easily identified and addressed, leading to faster progress and improved academic results compared to group settings.
How many tutoring sessions can I book each week?
There’s no limit to individual tutoring sessions you can book each week through Learnmate. It all depends on how you and the tutors organise your lessons.
Are one-hour tutoring sessions enough?
One-hour tutoring sessions are enough for most students starting out. It provides a strong foundation and sustainable pace for consistent progress, whether for VCE tutoring or something else. This time allows focused learning, builds confidence and prevents burnout. If you or your child needs more lessons, more time may be added.  Your pathway to personalised success in tutoring One on one tutoring is a powerful tool for students seeking personalised instruction tailored to their specific needs.

So, whether you’re looking for an HSC tutor or looking to improve your general skills, take the next step and hire the best tutors in Australia today.
How often should lessons happen to see progress?
Most students find that having one or two sessions a week helps them maintain a steady pace. This frequency builds the habits needed for effective learning, without feeling concerned about the tutoring cost. As exam time comes or specific challenges arise, you can always adjust the schedule to meet new demands. A trusted tutor can also recommend more sessions, but only if needed.
What happens if a tutor cancels or I need to reschedule?
If a tutor needs to cancel, you’re notified in advance, so you can seamlessly shift your plans. Afterwards, contact your tutor and easily move your booking to another time that works for all parties. Here, we’re proud to be one of the tutoring websites that make scheduling changes easy. At the end of the day, aside from a suitable average tutoring price, adaptability is key to sustaining a successful learning relationship.
Do I have to pay for multiple lessons upfront?
No. You’re in control, which means you can opt to pay as you go or choose prepaid packages for convenience. Packages give you bonus credit and make budgeting easier, but there are no lock-ins either way. Whether you’re considering the in-person or online tutoring cost, just choose what works for you.

Tutoring can offer support that complements what classrooms provide

Not getting enough personalised attention during lessons?

In a one on one tutoring setting, tutors adjust the sequence and difficulty of each topic to match a student’s current level, not follow a fixed program. Lessons can slow down for tricky ideas or pick up speed where confidence is strong. This steady rhythm in one on one learning support, like UCAT tutoring, keeps momentum going, so understanding deepens without any gaps.


Tutoring can reinforce what students are learning in class

No two learners are the same. With personalised tutoring, tutors adjust their approach, examples and support for students who are anxious, advanced, behind or neurodivergent. They change strategies until the idea makes sense because progress looks different for everyone. The plan grows with the student, keeping lessons fresh and focused instead of following a script.
