NAPLAN assesses students across four domains: reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy. Each test year has different content demands — Year 3 focuses on foundational literacy and numeracy, Year 5 builds analytical reading and multi-step numeracy, Year 7 extends into more complex writing structures and reasoning, and Year 9 demands the kind of analytical fluency and mathematical problem-solving that previews senior secondary expectations. A NAPLAN tutor on Learnmate who has taught primary school students, worked as a literacy and numeracy intervention specialist, or holds a qualification in Educational Psychology identifies exactly which domain a child needs to strengthen and builds sessions around that gap — not a fixed programme that covers content at a class pace.
NAPLAN tests run each year in May and June — with peak preparation demand in Terms 1 and 2. Starting sessions from early in the school year gives students the most time to consolidate skills before the test window. Many NAPLAN tutors on Learnmate also support general primary school literacy and numeracy, selective school entry preparation and scholarship exams alongside NAPLAN-specific work. Browse Primary School tutors for the full primary support network, or browse by year level: Year 3, Year 5, Year 7 and Year 9 tutors.
Learnmate is Australia’s leading online tutoring marketplace, connecting families with verified NAPLAN tutors across every test year and every domain. NAPLAN preparation is most effective when it is personalised — a tutor who has worked as a primary school classroom teacher, led literacy and numeracy intervention programmes, or holds a postgraduate qualification in Education or Educational Psychology can diagnose exactly which domain a child needs to strengthen and build sessions around that gap. All tutors are verified before listing, and payments are processed automatically after each lesson — no cash, no invoicing, no lock-in.
Evidence for Learning, an independent research organisation, found that tutoring produces an average of five months of additional learning progress — one of the highest-impact interventions available to students. For NAPLAN preparation specifically, the compounding effect of targeted 1:1 sessions over a term or two consistently outperforms group coaching programmes that move at class pace. Learnmate makes that level of support available from $30/hr, without lock-in contracts or intake assessments.
Every NAPLAN tutor on Learnmate is verified for relevant primary or junior secondary experience. Browse tutors with primary classroom teaching backgrounds, literacy and numeracy intervention experience, and selective entry preparation credentials across Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.

Really happy with our Tutor Cathy, she is very attentive to my daughter's needs and provides me with regular updates regarding my child's progress. She is a lovely caring beautiful lady and I would highly recommend, I'm so glad we found Cathy :) My daughter looks forward to her tutoring lesson each week
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.
I heard about Learnmate from school counsellor, and it's been fantastic. We found the right tutor for our daughter, and it goes really well. Learnmate makes everything easier. Thank you, highly recommend Learnmate to everyone.
Can highly recommend this platform. Our tutor knew the content very well and our daughter now she feels confident for exams. Simon was always happy to help with any queries we had and guided us through the process.
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!
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.

NAPLAN tests two broad skill areas: literacy (reading, writing and language conventions) and numeracy.

For students whose gap is in numeracy reasoning and mathematical problem-solving, browse Maths tutors for primary and junior secondary maths specialists.
NAPLAN tests are held in May and June each year. Search demand peaks in Terms 1 and 2 (January through May), with the highest-intent window in the 6–10 weeks before the test. Starting preparation in Term 1 gives students the most time to close gaps systematically rather than cramming. Many NAPLAN tutors on Learnmate also support general primary literacy and numeracy, selective entry preparation and scholarship exam coaching alongside NAPLAN-specific work — making a single tutor useful across multiple goals.
