ABOUT US

Home tutoring brings a personal feel

Hard to find tutors who can personalise their support for your needs?

Learning at home creates focus and comfort in a familiar space. There’s no rushing through traffic or last-minute packing, just time dedicated to learning. Families can choose lesson times that fit around school, sports or work, helping maintain a steady routine and reducing stress across the week.

Tutors can also use hands-on materials like books and worksheets, perfect for home school tutoring or primary students who benefit from visual learning and clear structure.

While in-person lessons encourage connection and focus, online sessions can also keep learning on track when life gets busy. Whether it’s during holidays, exam season or a week of illness, online tutors for kids and adults ensure progress never stalls or location becomes a hurdle to learning. You can connect with a local tutor nearby or explore having lessons online with a tutor to access subjects and specialists not available locally.

If you’ve ever searched for tutoring services near you, we offer both in-person and online options so you can switch between them whenever needed.

We found a great tutor for our daughter's HSC exams. The tutoring was very structured, outcome-focused and encouraging taking my daughter through all the curriculum requirements. The platform is super easy to use, straight forward, no need to buy a certain amount of lessons in advance and ability to reschedule lessons if need be, without penalty. Every lesson comes with a lesson digest for the parents.

Our son had the first introductory lesson with Gauravi for Chemistry and UCAT preparation. and we found her to be precise and supportive. Our son felt confident about the chapter she took him through and clearly saw the benefit of continuing learning with her. We look forward to her sharing tips and tricks that helped her achieve her great results!

LisaReviews rating

We are thrilled at the transformation in our son's performance and attitude towards maths since starting. In a very short space of time, maths has become his best subject and his confidence level is high. He actually enjoys his tutoring sessions. Dane has quickly transformed him. We are thrilled and I could not recommend Dane more highly.

What is the difference between home tutoring and home schooling?
Home tutoring and home schooling serve very different purposes. Home tutoring supports and enhances what students are already learning in school. It usually takes place after school hours with a tutor who reinforces classroom lessons and focuses on areas that need extra help. This method complements formal education, providing guidance without replacing the school experience. Home schooling, on the other hand, is a full-time educational alternative. It generally involves a greater level of planning, time and responsibility. Choosing between the two depends on your family’s goals and the type of learning environment you want at home.  For many of those looking up “home tutoring services near me,” the best home tutoring service in Australia provides the right middle ground between structured schooling and personalised learning.
Can I tutor my child myself?
Yes, you can, but it requires time, patience and deep subject knowledge. Balancing work, family and teaching can be challenging. Effective tutoring goes beyond checking homework. It’s about understanding how to explain difficult topics in a way that makes sense.  Many families find that professional help through private tutoring services can make learning smoother and more enjoyable. A qualified science tutor or subject specialist, for example, can bring new approaches and resources to lessons, helping students stay engaged and motivated.  Having a professional tutor also allows parents to focus on supporting their child emotionally rather than carrying the full academic responsibility.
How often should I set home tutoring sessions?
Some families start with a weekly one-hour session, which creates a steady routine without overwhelming the learner. This structure works well for building momentum and keeping progress consistent. As your child improves or if a subject requires more focus, you can adjust the schedule to suit their needs. Some families prefer shorter, more frequent sessions, while others choose intensive 1:1 tutoring during exam periods. With flexible options, you can shape a plan that fits your lifestyle and learning goals. Regular sessions ensure that home tutoring remains effective, targeted and adaptable throughout the school year.
Are home tutors safe and verified to work with children?
Yes. Tutors on Learnmate list verified credentials on their profiles, including a Learnmate-verified Working With Children Check (WWCC) and, where applicable, Qualified Teacher badges. Families can review each tutor’s qualifications, reviews and teaching background before booking to ensure lessons are safe, trusted and appropriate for children of all ages.
What subjects can a home tutor help with?
Home tutors on Learnmate cover more than 110 subjects, ranging from numeracy and phonics for primary students to VCE, HSC and IB preparation for senior learners. Whether you need support in Maths, English, Science, languages, study skills or even adult learning, you can find a tutor who matches your exact learning needs and goals.
Do home tutors provide their own materials and resources?
Many home tutors come prepared with their own worksheets, practice questions, reading materials and digital tools. Tutors can also adapt sessions to use your school resources or preferred materials. You can message tutors directly before booking to discuss what they provide and how lessons can be structured around your learning style and curriculum.

Sessions adapt to goals across Primary to Years 11–12 and adult learning

Lessons tailored to each student’s goals and pace

Every learner benefits when lessons are shaped around personal goals

With home tutoring, sessions adjust to suit individual progress, pacing and areas that need more focus. Each meeting, tutors typically adapt plans to match current needs, whether that means catching up on missed content, adding extension work or preparing for major assessments. 

Younger students often thrive under a personalised approach. With help from a writing tutor, for example, primary learners strengthen reading and writing foundations through fun, age-appropriate activities that build curiosity and engagement. These early sessions usually encourage focus and enjoyment, helping children develop essential skills that set them up for future success.

As students move into Years 7–10, tutors usually shift focus to improving study habits and mastering subject content. Tutors design lessons that challenge students without overwhelming them, helping them stay motivated and organised as their workload increases.

For senior students, especially those preparing for VCE, working with a VCE home tutor allows for targeted and strategic study. Lessons can align with assessment dates and exam schedules to ensure preparation is effective and manageable. Focused maths tutoring and subject-specific guidance help students refine their understanding and feel ready for assessments and exams.

The tutors on our platform also support adult learning for those who want to acquire new skills or explore areas like foreign languages and music. We also have more general learning options for those who seek life coaching, help with conversation skills and much more. 

With Learnmate, home-based tutoring grows with each learner, providing the support, focus and encouragement needed to achieve lasting progress at every stage of education.


Finding the right tutor has never been easier

Learnmate makes home tutoring simple and stress-free. Whether you’re after French tutors to master a new language or need tutoring at home for struggling students, each lesson is designed to encourage progress in a positive, supportive way. With adaptable options, we deliver transparent learning to your doorstep.
