Primary school tutoring in Melbourne is most commonly sought for three reasons: catching up in literacy or numeracy, preparing for NAPLAN in Years 3 and 5, or building ahead for selective secondary entry. NAPLAN tests run in May–June, with preparation typically starting in Term 1. Tutors align sessions to Victorian Curriculum F-10 outcomes from foundational phonics and number sense in Prep through to the extended reading, writing and reasoning of Years 5 and 6.
Tutors set their own hourly rates, displayed on their profiles before you reach out. In-person sessions are available across Melbourne — including inner suburbs (Fitzroy, Carlton, Richmond), the eastern corridor (Box Hill, Doncaster, Glen Waverley), northern suburbs (Brunswick, Northcote, Preston), southern suburbs (Brighton, Sandringham, Moorabbin) and the western growth corridor (Werribee, Tarneit, Point Cook) — or online.

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.
