ABOUT US

A flexible after school tutor easily fits into a busy family life

Better support for what your kids are struggling with

Choose in-person or online tutoring for students.

These options help families reduce travel time or keep learning local. Online lessons are ideal for tight schedules or remote locations, while in-person sessions are great for learners who thrive more in in-person learning environments.

However, the mode can always change as needed. Should routines shift, families can switch from online to in-person tutors for kids. The focus is on access and comfort, so students can concentrate on learning rather than all the other outside factors.

Set a schedule that fits school peaks and home commitments.

Be it tutoring for Year 7 or other levels, you get to pick the lesson frequency and duration, which means weekly sessions can ramp up in preparation for assessments and ease off during holiday breaks. 

Without fixed-term subscriptions or lock-ins, families have the freedom to start or pause based on real-life demands and switch tutors if circumstances call for it. Short targeted sessions can also focus on more urgent upcoming assignments and assessments, and if needed, tutors can build on these with longer-term plans.

We found a great tutor for our daughter's HSC exams. The tutoring was very structured, outcome-focused and encouraging taking my daughter through all the curriculum requirements. The platform is super easy to use, straight forward, no need to buy a certain amount of lessons in advance and ability to reschedule lessons if need be, without penalty. Every lesson comes with a lesson digest for the parents.

PadReviews rating

Our son had the first introductory lesson with Gauravi for Chemistry and UCAT preparation. and we found her to be precise and supportive. Our son felt confident about the chapter she took him through and clearly saw the benefit of continuing learning with her. We look forward to her sharing tips and tricks that helped her achieve her great results!

LisaReviews rating

We are thrilled at the transformation in our son's performance and attitude towards maths since starting. In a very short space of time, maths has become his best subject and his confidence level is high. He actually enjoys his tutoring sessions. Dane has quickly transformed him. We are thrilled and I could not recommend Dane more highly.

Should I consider tutors for kids?
Yes, especially if you feel like your child isn’t reaching their full potential. You should also consider tutors for kids if you’re stretched thin by work or other life commitments. Whether you’re looking for a private reading tutor for young children or a maths tutor for kids in higher years, there’ll be focused, expert attention in areas that need a boost. These sessions complement school learning, while making it so you don’t have to add more to your plate. This way, you can focus on being a parent and providing for your family.
At what age should tutoring start?
Tutoring can begin as early as primary school. Even if it’s just homework help for kids, providing support at this young age helps build a solid foundation of confidence and knowledge, preventing academic gaps.  However, students of any age, even those at senior levels, can gain a great deal from personalised learning sessions. No matter if your child is in Year 3 and needs help with basic science concepts or in Year 12 and looking for French tutors, we’re here to empower students with options that fit their goals.  In fact, we even have adult learning options available for people who want to expand on their skills even after high school.
How do I know if my kid’s tutor is good?
Kids will only really learn from someone who understands them. A great tutor connects with your child, listens well, adapts to their learning style and makes sessions feel motivating, not stressful. In addition, a tutor’s qualifications and verifications can also show their experience in the subject. With us, you can check profiles and reviews to ensure your tutor matches your expectations. You can also always try other tutors until you find the ideal fit for your kids.
How are tutoring sessions structured, and how long do they last?
Each session is built around your needs and goals. Lessons usually start with a discussion of your current challenges or assignments, followed by targeted exercises and feedback that encourage steady progress. The tutor’s approach adapts to your learning pace, making each session unique and productive.
Can I tutor my kid myself?
Yes, you can, but it requires time, patience and deep subject knowledge. Balancing work, family and teaching can be challenging. Effective tutoring goes beyond checking homework. It’s about understanding how to explain difficult topics in a way that makes sense. Many families find that professional help through private tutoring services can make learning smoother and more enjoyable. A qualified science tutor or subject specialist, for example, can bring new approaches and resources to lessons, helping students stay engaged and motivated.  Having a professional tutor also allows parents to focus on supporting their child emotionally rather than carrying the full academic responsibility.
How often should I set tutoring sessions for my kid?
Some families start with a weekly one-hour session, which creates a steady routine without overwhelming the learner. This structure works well for building momentum and keeping progress consistent. As your child improves or if a subject requires more focus, you can adjust the schedule to suit their needs. Some families prefer shorter, more frequent sessions, while others choose intensive 1:1 tutoring during exam periods. With flexible options, you can shape a plan that fits your lifestyle and learning goals.
