Our most frequently asked questions about Apex Tuition Australia

Parents may be present during the lesson if they would like. However, all tutors will provide a summary of the session every time. This can be viewed from within our tutor management software which you register for once you begin tutoring with Apex Tuition Australia.

Apex Tuition Australia provides in-person tutoring across Melbourne and Sydney. With our large team, we are able to service all subjects across Melbourne and Sydney. In terms of exact location, this is dependent on the students. Some students prefer home visits, while others like to do sessions at a local library or school.

We are expanding our in-person operations in 2024 but for the mean time we are only offering online tutoring for Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

To start tutoring with Apex, please fill out this form. One of our Operations Managers will receive and process it. They will get all the necessary details from you and then begin the process of finding the perfect tutor for you.

Once you have been matched with a tutor by one of our Operations Managers, your tutor will contact you. You will both decide on a time for the session and the tutor will send you a link to join. Depending on their personal preference, tutors may use various tools to deliver the tutoring session.

Your tutor will be based in your city. This means that they are familiar with the course content.

Tutoring can happen anywhere based on your individual needs. We have tutors that can travel to your home or a nearby meeting spot. Alternatively, if you prefer or if we have no tutors in the area, we can arrange online tutoring. All tutors are trained to use online tools to maintain tutoring quality.

Currently, we are providing in-person tutoring services in Melbourne and Sydney. Additionally, we have online tutoring offerred for students in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

We recommend that tutoring occurs once a week. This allows the tutor and the student to get to know each other well and form a bond. However, the frequency of tutoring is completely up to you. If you would prefer to have multiple sessions a week or just need a tutor once a month, that can also be arranged.

Private tutoring is extremely effective for all types of students. The major benefit of private tutoring is the personalised, one-on-one support. Often in schools, a teacher has to teach 20+ students at once, as a result, if you miss something or fall behind it can be tough to catch up. With a private tutor, students can learn at their own pace, take time to explore new topics and ask as many questions as they want.

Whether you are a top achiever striving for the best marks or a student who is just looking to keep up, private tutoring with Apex Tuition Australia provides an intimate learning environment that builds confidence, promotes curiosity and improves grades.

At Apex Tuition Australia, the cost of tutoring depends on the student's age and preference of location. There are four different prices:

Most of our tutors are recently graduated high school students who finished in the top 3% of their subjects with a median ATAR of 99.00. Many of them have gone on to further study the subjects they tutor at university. All our tutors are passionate educators and pride themselves on their knowledge in their chosen subjects. To become a tutor with Apex, all tutors go through a rigorous application and interview process as well supply us with a valid Working With Children's Check.

Before you begin tutoring, you will be asked to do two things:

1. Register to Teachworks - our tutoring management software where you can view all past sessions, upcoming sessions and your invoices/payments
2. Set up a direct debit with Stripe

If you do not want to set up a direct debit, please alert us and our Finance team will provide alternative payment options.

Stopping tutoring is super easy. There are no lock-in contracts or extra fees so you can stop whenever you would like. If you do decide to stop, please let us know so that we can update our records.

Of course! Sometimes, the learning styles or the personalities of the tutor and the student do not match. In these instances, we will find you a replacement tutor right away.

Yes, all of our tutors are familiar with the current curriculum. We recognise how important it is that your tutor is an expert in the curriculum they are teaching.

Each curriculum in Australia is slightly different and has its own nuances that are important for the tutor to know. We will always endeavour to match you with a tutor who is intimately familiar with the curriculum your child is completing.

At the moment, we have tutors who have completed the VCE, HSC, QCE, SACE, WACE and IB.

For younger year levels, we will endeavour to find a tutor who has completed the same course but this is less vital.

Communication with the tutor is very easy. The tutor will make contact with you and then you are free to communicate with the tutor in whatever way works best. Our Operations team is also always here to help if you need any assistance.

At Apex Tuition Australia, we offer a first session satisfaction guarantee! This means if you are not happy with your first session, we will give you a 100% refund and find you another tutor. For full details on the first sessions satisfaction guarantee, you can read out terms and conditions here.
