ABOUT US

Students deserve reliable support that builds real understanding

Concerned about not reaching your full academic potential?

A reliable science tutor focuses on exploring scientific ideas and principles in detail. This ensures students gain a comprehensive grasp of topics, setting the stage for greater confidence in exams and embracing new themes. 

Parents often worry that tutors might just end up doing their child’s homework

It’s a sensible concern. You want tutors who illuminate the reasoning behind homework tasks and foster independent learning rather than outsourcing academic responsibilities. The best science tutor in Australia is someone who encourages a student’s own efforts, helps them find the logic behind problems and builds a solid foundation for future challenges. 

Many people seek personalised private science tutoring

Classroom settings can’t always cater to every student’s pace. Oftentimes, in a traditional environment, a single teacher can’t have lessons that match each child’s unique learning curve. On the other hand, you may simply be interested in a specific topic and want guidance from an expert. Tailored home tutoring focuses exclusively on a learner’s distinct challenges, rather than a “one-size-fits-all” plan.

Whether you’re looking for a biology tutor or physics tutor, this approach helps everyone grasp difficult scientific ideas more clearly.

What our Science Students Say About Learnmate


AlyshaReviews rating

I was fortunate enough to get to know Maria this year, through receiving Psychology and Biology tutoring from her for my final year of school. She is an insightful, very knowledgable tutor, who delivered the material to suit my level of understanding, ensuring we covered the outline in the current VCE study designs. The Learnmate platform was also very easy to use, helping our tutoring sessions run smoothly!

ApsaraReviews rating

Cassandra is an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable, resourceful and kind. She helped my daughter to understand concepts in Biology and guided in revision by doing VCE exam questions from the beginning.

MichelleReviews rating

Rochelle has been amazing with her tutoring in VCE Biology. My daughter has so much more confidence going into her SACs. Rochelle provides excellent feedback and communication. Highly recommend Rochelle!

LanReviews rating

We have been trying to search for a maths tutor for our boys for some time, but haven’t quite found the right tutor until we came across Jie through Learnmate. Jie is a very competent, well organised, patient and a promptual person with a very positive attitude. Our boys are now also taking up Science lessons with Jie. We highly recommend Jie.

OliverReviews rating

Shamini helped me through VCE Units 3/4 Physics and Methods. She always ensured I felt comfortable asking any questions and was very adaptable to whether I wanted to go through Physics or Methods work each session. I would highly recommend Shamini.

ChloeReviews rating

I really like how you introduce the topics broadly speaking initially, like discussing the real life applications to let us understand how it works in the real world which will help us visualise it as well. I also really like how you go in great detail explaining everything, and also doing many exam questions in every lesson. The questions were very relevant and have varying difficulties which help improve my abilities over time. Your explanations were also really really good. I never understood volumetric analysis in year 11 and initially in year 12 and I went through 2 chemistry tutors and also 3 school teachers over the course of a year and a half but you managed to teach me and let me fully understand and comprehend it in a matter of 20 minutes. I was seriously impressed.

On average, tutors and coaches are up to 50% cheaper than tutors and coaches engaged through agencies and other companies. Why? The simple answer is Learnmate takes less with an industry leading commission structure. Agencies and companies typically take a margin of between 40-65% from tutors while Learnmate's commission ranges between only 23-30%. That simply means less is passed onto you.

Simply and effortlessly succeed and save with a Learnmate.

Whether you’re looking for a general science tutor or a science tutor for university preparation, 1 to 2 sessions per week can help you or your child stay on track and reinforce learning.

However, the frequency really hinges on several factors: your child’s academic targets, their grasp of the current material and any pending assessments. The same applies if you’re the learner: your specific goals and your foundational knowledge on the topic. Keep in mind that regularly spaced sessions also allow concepts to be revisited and reinforced, reducing the strain before major exams. 

Just like with the English and maths tutoring services accessible on our platform, science tutoring sessions are 1:1 and truly personalised, with lessons built around you or your child’s goals, skills, pace and syllabus. These plans are adapted weekly for continued learning progress.

Qualified experts design profiles that list their qualifications, education and teaching levels. So, if you or your child searches for a particular level, like Year 7–10 Science or Year 11–12 Chemistry, you can trust that the tutor on Learnmate has demonstrated that they have the experience, academic achievements or qualifications to teach that level. 

Plus, covering educators from qualified teachers to top ATAR achievers, our network of 700 verified tutors spans the country. This diverse pool of expertise supports over 110 subjects, from Primary education to Year 12 and adult learning. 

No matter if you’re looking for an organic chemistry tutor or another science tutor, access to detailed information lets you verify capability before making a selection.

Master subjects with the help of experts.

Finding a reliable science tutor can feel daunting when time is tight and the stakes are high. However, we connect you with independent tutors ready to enhance your or your child’s understanding. Each one crafts personalised lessons in biology, chemistry, physics and more.

Get started today and find what you need, whether that is science tutors, French tutors or a different expert, on our platform.

Browse through tutor profiles that showcase their qualifications, past reviews and teaching credentials, all without any intimidating intake calls or lengthy waiting periods.
How do I know if a science tutor is qualified to teach a certain level?
Qualified experts design profiles that list their qualifications, education and teaching levels. So, if you or your child searches for a particular level, like Year 7–10 Science or Year 11–12 Chemistry, you can trust that the tutor on Learnmate has demonstrated that they have the experience, academic achievements or qualifications to teach that level.  Plus, covering educators from qualified teachers to top ATAR achievers, our network of 700 verified tutors spans the country.

Can a science tutor help if my child is struggling with only one area, like Chemistry or Physics?

Yes. Many science tutors specialise in particular branches such as Chemistry, Physics, Biology or General Science. You can filter tutors by subject and year level to find someone who focuses exactly on the topic your child needs help with. This ensures targeted support rather than broad, generic lessons.

Do science tutors help with practical skills, experiments or lab reports?

Absolutely. Science tutors can guide students through practical concepts, experiment design, data analysis and lab report writing. While they can’t conduct physical experiments online, they can help students understand scientific method, plan investigations and interpret results — all essential skills for high school assessments and senior-year science subjects.

How can I tell if science tutoring is working for my child?

Progress often shows through clearer understanding of concepts, improved class participation, stronger homework performance and increased confidence. Tutors provide real-time feedback, track learning milestones and adjust lesson plans as needed. Parents also commonly notice reduced stress around tests and better organisational habits as tutoring continues.

Science tutoring that helps build confidence

Science tutoring offers lessons tailored to a student’s current learning stage

Every student progresses differently. With personalised tutoring, the lesson plan adapts to fit their needs, pinpoints where they’re at and addresses specific challenges. Sessions can now proceed at the learner’s ideal speed.

Rushing ahead often leads to confusion and discouragement, hindering deeper understanding. When 1:1 science lessons are set to the student’s natural pace, confidence grows hand-in-hand with subject mastery. 


Matching the right tutor puts the learner’s needs firmly at the centre

Some people just want to upskill, others wish to get ahead, and many are preparing for exams. When tutors for kids and adults focus on these particular needs, energy and effort are directed in the right areas, leading to productive, enjoyable learning experiences.

With the appropriate support, science can move from being a struggle to a subject you or your kid can enjoy and succeed at.


Master subjects with the help of experts

Finding a reliable science tutor can feel daunting when time is tight and the stakes are high. However, we connect you with independent tutors ready to enhance your or your child’s understanding. Each one crafts personalised lessons in biology, chemistry, physics and more.
