Holly has tutored my son for almost a year. She was able to quickly build trust and rapport with my son and target his needs through testing & weekly exercises. My son commenced grade 6, six months “behind standard” in Writing, Spelling and Comprehension and is now “at standard” and “exceeding expectation” for Comprehension. Thanks Holly, this success is attributed to your experience & expertise!
Sona has been fantastic with my daughter, Jess who is in primary school. The marks are going up so seeing the results but the best thing is Jess’ confidence is improving and she’s enjoying maths more. I see good consistency, patience and alignment with the school’s approach. It has been effective since the first session.
Tutoring has made my daughter more confident in her essay writing!
Jaye is a wonderful lady and has helped my primary school age son work his averages up in his class a lot.
My primary school son has responded well to receiving online tutoring sessions, possibly more receptive than in person. The tutor has helped to extend his writing whilst keeping him focused during the 1 hour session.
Samantha is friendly, personable and professional. The tutoring sessions were personalised and catered to my sons primary grade level and educational needs. I highly recommend Samantha's service.
Everything Adelaide families need to know about finding the right primary school tutor — by subject, year level or location
Primary school tutoring in Adelaide focuses on the foundational subjects that underpin all future learning. In mathematics, tutors work across number and place value, addition and subtraction strategies, multiplication and division, fractions, measurement and problem-solving across the South Australian Curriculum from Reception to Year 6. In English, tutors cover phonics and decoding for early readers, reading comprehension for Years 3 to 6, spelling and vocabulary, and the narrative and persuasive writing skills that NAPLAN and classroom assessments reward. The Maths-Adelaide growth cluster is directly addressed by Learnmate’s primary maths specialist network, available in-person and online across South Australia. For national subject-hub networks, browse maths tutors and English tutors.
Primary tutoring in Adelaide serves different needs at different year levels. In Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, the priority is early literacy — learning to decode words using phonics, building reading fluency and developing early writing skills alongside foundational number concepts. In Years 3 and 4, tutoring consolidates mathematical reasoning, reading for meaning and structured writing, with NAPLAN in Year 3 bringing many Adelaide families to tutoring for the first time. In Years 5 and 6, the focus extends to comprehension, persuasive writing and the mathematical skills that prepare students for the transition to secondary school. Browse primary school tutors nationally for the broader network.
NAPLAN is assessed in Years 3 and 5 across South Australia, covering reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy. For many Adelaide families, an upcoming NAPLAN assessment is what brings primary tutoring to a head — the assessment makes visible gaps in reading comprehension, written expression and mathematical reasoning that may have been developing quietly. Tutors who work with primary students in Adelaide on NAPLAN preparation help students become familiar with the test format, build skills across the four assessment areas, and develop confidence to approach the assessment without anxiety. For NAPLAN-specific tutor support, browse NAPLAN tutors on Learnmate.
