Year 5 maths can feel like a big step up, and steady support helps

Year 5 introduces more complex mathematical concepts including larger numbers, fractions, decimals, area and perimeter, and multi-step problem solving. When foundational gaps exist, these new concepts can feel overwhelming. Students who fall behind in Year 5 often struggle to catch up as expectations continue to increase.

What our Maths Students Think About Learnmate


PaulReviews rating

Jaye has been tutoring our 12 year old son for over a year in Math's & English. His focus often wavers something Jaye has managed well. These sessions have resulted in his NAPLAN results moving up from the bottom band to the average this year. Thank you Jaye!

EdiReviews rating

Thank you Sai. I deeply appreciate your invaluable support in guiding my son through his math studies. Thanks to your assistance, he achieved an outstanding result in his recent math exam. Your dedication has truly made a significant difference.

FiReviews rating

Sona has been fantastic with my daughter, Jess who is in primary school. The marks are going up so seeing the results but the best thing is Jess’ confidence is improving and she’s enjoying maths more. I see good consistency, patience and alignment with the school’s approach. It has been effective since the first session.

UmraReviews rating

Kashish is an excellent tutor who teaches with compassion and clears all the concepts of his students. He makes a subject like Mathematics a fun thing and ensures that the student practices Maths regularly. The best part is he sets the standard high so that the student can try solving tricky problems and get his concepts clear. He takes personal interest in the students. Highly recommended.

VashtiReviews rating

Anthony has been fantastic in helping Callum gain a better understanding of maths. Callum really enjoys his tutoring sessions with Anthony and he has definitely improved with his maths since beginning the sessions and also seems to be gaining a better understanding of year 7 Maths in general.

MeaganReviews rating

Ari provided my son with exactly the support he needed throughout Year 12. I have no doubt that he would not have been as settled and calm going into his Methods exam without the guidance and support of Ari over the last 6+ months. Ari was always approachable, knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. Can't recommend more highly.
