Canberra is the only Australian city where three distinct senior secondary pathways coexist in the same market. Most ACT students complete the ACT Senior Secondary Certificate, governed by the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS), which uses school-based continuous assessment — there are no external subject exams, with students sitting the ACT Scaling Test (AST) for ATAR. A small number of ACT schools, most notably Canberra Grammar School, offer the NSW HSC, meaning tutors with HSC subject expertise are directly relevant for those students. Canberra also has a higher concentration of IB schools than most Australian cities — driven partly by the city’s large professional and diplomatic community — with Radford College and several other schools offering the IB Diploma alongside or instead of the ACT SSC.
For primary school students, tutors cover the Australian Curriculum across all core subjects, with NAPLAN preparation for Years 3 and 5 one of the most common tutoring needs. Tutors set their own rates, displayed on profiles before you reach out. In-person sessions are available across Canberra — including Belconnen (home to the University of Canberra and ADFA), Woden Valley, Tuggeranong, Gungahlin and the inner north (Braddon, Lyneham, Turner, O’Connor) and inner south (Kingston, Manuka, Griffith, Deakin) — or online for students anywhere in the ACT. For dedicated HSC support, browse HSC tutors. For IB Diploma support, browse IB tutors.

I was looking for tutors specifically for the IB program and there weren't many. When I found Learnmate, I had never heard of it and reviews convinced me to try. I could find tutors familiar with the IB which was essential. It is quite easy to use, price are decent and so far I have had really good experience with tutors.
My son's tutor was very supportive and was able to build a good rapport to develop his confidence and extend him in the subjects. Reasonable pricing.
Really good, helped me find tutors for year 12, which got me over the line from good to great in my results. Would recommend as a place to find tutors.
Learnmate platform is very easy to use, user friendly and response time is very quick. My daughter's tutor (Jessica) is very responsive and communicative. I am very pleased to choose her now that my daughter understanding on maths work is much much better.
Harini our tutor is absolutely amazing, has helped our 12 year old over the last 2 years!
Great platform, Casey is an excellent tutor.
