Finding a private tutor on Learnmate is straightforward — browse tutor profiles, compare credentials and reviews, and reach out directly to arrange a first session, often within 24 hours. Most families come to Learnmate at one of three points: when weekly school support has slipped from consistent to reactive, when a major examination or entrance test is approaching and preparation hasn’t started, or when a student needs a specialist whose subject knowledge or curriculum experience their school teacher simply doesn’t match.
Unlike a tutoring agency, Learnmate connects you directly with the tutor — no commission layers, no minimum session packages, no intake interviews. Parents can read tutor profiles, check credentials and reviews, and message a tutor before committing to a session. Private tutors on Learnmate set their own rates, which typically range from $40 to $90+ per hour depending on experience and subject, with payments processed automatically after each lesson.

Learnmate is Australia’s leading online tutoring marketplace, connecting students and families with verified private tutors across every capital city and online across the country. Private tutoring through a marketplace like Learnmate works differently from a traditional tutoring agency — parents browse real tutor profiles with genuine credentials and reviews, set their own session schedule, and pay only for the lessons they book, without minimum packages or agency markups. Learnmate’s private tutor network spans VIT-registered classroom teachers and retired academics, 99+ ATAR graduates and university students, subject specialists and generalists, and tutors experienced with students who have diverse learning needs.
Students can contact tutors directly, arrange a first session and start within days — no intake calls, no waiting lists, no lock-in commitments. Online sessions are available to students anywhere in Australia. In-person sessions are available across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and Hobart. Payments are processed automatically after each lesson. Many tutors offer a first lesson free.
Traditional tutoring agencies charge parents a commission on top of the tutor’s rate — often 30–50% — and rarely share which tutor is assigned to a student before the first session. Learnmate works differently: parents browse real tutor profiles with verified credentials, genuine reviews and published rates, then reach out directly. The tutor a parent chooses is the tutor who teaches their child — no bait-and-switch assignments, no hidden markup

Dear Olivia, thank you for your hard work in supporting my son to improve and develop his research and writing skills. Your expertise in teaching and research has put our minds at ease. We are so grateful to have you as our son’s teacher. I do highly recommend you for all students.
Kashish is a excellent tutor, as he explains every thing he teaches so you can easily understand it. He also is great at giving out homework for the child to work on throughout the week until their next session. Kashish is also very friendly so my child really enjoys the lessons.
Casey has been fantastic. She is very approachable, relates well to my daughter, explains things well and my daughter has learned a lot already. She is flexible and understanding when we have had to change appointment times. I would definitely recommend Casey!
I was struggling in chemistry for so long until I found Surbhi! She explains things in great depth a detail, making it really easy to understand. She even realises what details I might be missing and helps me to understand understand the basics so that I can understand the harder stuff. Only wish I had found her sooner!
Tahlia was an amazing tutor, who was super helpful and had excellent knowledge of the SACE curriculum. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekly sessions and appreciated her positive and encouraging attitude. I highly recommend Tahlia, if you want studying in year 12 to be a fun and beneficial experience.
Sam’s tutoring and helpful guidance has made a huge difference towards my sons learning. He was able to relate very well and made the sessions fun and interesting. We have gone from failing year 11 to achieving high marks in year 12. I could not recommend a better tutor.
