True 1:1 support that targets your specific learning gaps and goals

In a typical Melbourne classroom, teachers must cater to twenty-five or more students, making it difficult to address every individual question. This often leads to students feeling left behind or unchallenged. A private tutor changes this dynamic completely by focusing entirely on your specific needs. Whether you need to catch up on foundational Maths concepts, extend your English skills for scholarship exams, or simply want to learn a musical instrument at your own pace, a private tutor tailors every lesson to you. This personalised attention transforms learning from a "one-size-fits-all" experience into a targeted strategy that builds genuine understanding and confidence.

Can I book online and in-person sessions with a private tutor in Melbourne?
Yes. Learnmate hosts a wide network of tutors across Melbourne. You can filter your search to find tutors who travel to your specific suburb for in-person lessons or those who offer online sessions. Many tutors offer both, giving you the flexibility to choose the format that works best for your family.
How quickly can we start lessons after we message a tutor?
You can often start within 24-48 hours. Because you communicate directly with the tutor, there are no agency intake queues or wait times. Once you agree on a schedule with your chosen tutor, you can book your first lesson immediately.
Can I adjust lesson frequency as school, sport and holidays change?
Absolutely. There are no lock-in contracts on Learnmate. You can arrange weekly lessons during the school term and increase frequency before VCE exams, or pause lessons during school holidays if needed. You simply coordinate with your tutor to find a schedule that fits your life.
Will I be able to switch tutors after the first session?
Yes. If you find that the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, you are free to find another tutor on the platform. We encourage you to message a few tutors initially to find the best personality match, but you are never locked into a long-term commitment with a single tutor.
Are secure payments handled through the platform?
Learnmate uses a secure, cashless payment system. You add your payment details once, and payments are processed automatically 24 hours after each lesson. This eliminates the need for cash exchanges and provides a clear digital record of all your bookings and payments in one place.
Are private tutors in Melbourne required to have a Working With Children Check?

Learnmate provides tutors the option to submit their WWCC details for Learnmate's verification. Once verified, we display a clear badge on their profile, making it easy for you to identify safe and trusted tutors for your family. You should ensure any tutor you engage has one.
