Tutero, one of Australia's leading online tutoring providers, has partnered with the Aurora Education Foundation to deliver personalised, one-on-one tutoring to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Aurora's RISE and High School Program (HSP). The collaboration brings personalised maths, English and science tutoring to high-school students across Australia, alongside Aurora's wider mentoring and academic-support work. After nearly six months, the program is already producing strong results — with positive feedback from students, families and tutors.
Quick answer
Tutero is the personalised online tutoring partner inside Aurora Education Foundation's RISE and High School programs. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander high-school students enrolled in those programs are matched with a one-on-one Tutero tutor in maths, English or science, study online over video, and receive lessons that are paced to each student's goals. Tutero contributes the technology platform, the matched tutor, and the personalised lesson plan. Aurora coordinates the program, the academic mentoring, and the wider community of support around each student. The aim is simple: lift confidence, close skill gaps, and help every student finish Year 12 well-prepared for university or the career path they choose.
What is the Aurora Education Foundation?
Aurora Education Foundation is an Indigenous-led Australian charity that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from secondary school through to university and into the workplace. Aurora's two flagship academic programs are the High School Program (HSP) — which works with high-school-aged students to lift academic outcomes and Year 12 completion — and the RISE program, which supports university-aged students into postgraduate study and professional careers. Aurora has helped Indigenous students earn places at top Australian universities and at institutions including Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard. The foundation's model is to walk alongside students for years, not weeks, layering academic support, mentoring, residentials and community in a single connected pathway.
How does Tutero support Indigenous students through this partnership?
Through the Aurora partnership, Tutero provides personalised, one-on-one online tutoring to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students enrolled in Aurora's HSP and RISE programs. Each student is matched with a tutor whose subject expertise, personality and availability fit the student's goals — and that match stays consistent through the year, so the tutor builds a real understanding of where the student is strong and where they need support. Lessons run over video on Tutero's online platform, fitting around school, family and community commitments. The curriculum is adapted to each student's year level and to the local syllabus they're studying — Years 9–10 foundations, NAPLAN preparation in earlier years, and ATAR-relevant subjects in Years 11–12. Tutero's role is the personalised academic layer; Aurora's mentors continue to provide the wider pastoral and aspirational support that the foundation is known for.
What does the Tutero–Aurora partnership cover?
The partnership covers personalised one-on-one online tutoring across the three subjects most often requested by students in Aurora's HSP and RISE cohorts: maths, English and science. Students access tutoring from anywhere in Australia — metro, regional or remote — through a laptop, iPad or family computer, with a simple link sent ahead of each lesson. Tutors are matched centrally by Tutero's onboarding team and remain consistent through the year. Lessons typically run for 60 minutes, weekly, and are fully paid for through the program — students and families don't pay out of pocket. The partnership also covers the technology, the lesson-plan templates, and the visibility tools that let Aurora's program team see, at a glance, how each student is progressing.
This partnership is about real impact. We're proud to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students with personalised learning that builds confidence and opens doors. It has been a pleasure working alongside the Aurora team to bring this collaboration to life.
— Joey Moshinsky, Co-CEO of Tutero
Who is eligible for tutoring through Aurora and Tutero?
Eligibility for the partnership-funded tutoring sits with Aurora, not with Tutero. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students enrolled in Aurora's High School Program (typically Years 9 to 12) or RISE program (university-aged) are the cohort the partnership supports. Aurora applies its own program criteria around academic motivation, family context and program fit. Students apply directly to Aurora for HSP or RISE — and once enrolled, the Tutero tutoring component is offered to those students automatically as part of the program's academic support. If you are a parent, student or community member who would like to be part of the program, the right next step is the Aurora Education Foundation website.
What does culturally responsive tutoring look like in practice?
Culturally responsive tutoring, in this partnership, means three concrete things. First, the matching: Tutero's onboarding team works with Aurora to ensure each student is matched with a tutor who is the right fit for the student — not a generic allocation. Second, the pacing: tutors are briefed to follow the student's lead, build trust over the first few lessons, and adapt the pace to the student's confidence rather than push to a fixed timeline. Third, the program connection: Tutero shares lesson notes and progress with Aurora's program team so the academic work happens inside the wider mentoring relationship, not separate from it. The aim is for tutoring to feel like an extension of Aurora's program — same goals, same standards, same care for the student as a whole person — delivered by a personalised tutor who knows the student well.
How much does Tutero tutoring cost outside the partnership?
Outside the Aurora partnership, Tutero's private tutoring starts at A$65 per hour for one-on-one online tutoring, with the same starting rate across all year levels — primary, lower-secondary and senior. There is no senior premium and no contract — families pay per lesson and can adjust the tutor or pause at any time. Inside the Aurora partnership, students enrolled in HSP or RISE access Tutero's tutoring at no cost to themselves or their families — Tutero and Aurora cover the cost of the tutoring as part of the program. If you are a parent of an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student who is not enrolled with Aurora, you can still access Tutero's tutoring directly at the standard A$65 starting rate, or apply to Aurora's programs for the partnership-funded option.
What results has the partnership delivered so far?
After nearly six months of running the partnership, the early signal is strong: students enrolled in the program have reported real gains in confidence, better engagement at school, and clearer goals for Year 12 and beyond. Families report that consistent, personalised tutoring with the same tutor week after week has made a tangible difference — not because of any single lesson, but because of the cumulative effect of regular, paced, expert support. Tutors in the program report similar feedback from their side: that students arrive each week more prepared, more engaged and more willing to ask questions. Both organisations are now focused on growing the partnership's reach to support more students through HSP and RISE.
Tutero is a valuable partner in helping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Aurora's High School Program. Their personalised approach helps students to build confidence and meet their learning goals.
— Jesse King, Head of Policy and Programs, Aurora Education Foundation
How can families, students and supporters get involved?
There are three ways to engage with the partnership. Families and students who would like to access partnership-funded tutoring should apply directly to Aurora's HSP or RISE programs — that is the only pathway into the partnership-funded option. Schools, community groups and family members who would like to refer Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander students to Aurora can also do so via the same Aurora website. Parents looking for one-on-one tutoring outside the partnership can browse Tutero's network of tutors or read the student success stories to see what consistent, personalised tutoring can do over a school year. For more on the Tutero approach to personalised tutoring more broadly, see our guide to how personalised tutoring can help your child.
Why does this partnership matter?
Closing the educational gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students is one of the most important challenges in Australian education. Personalised one-on-one tutoring — when it is matched well, paced patiently, and embedded inside a wider program of mentoring and community support — is one of the most evidence-backed interventions schools can offer. The Tutero–Aurora partnership combines Tutero's tutor network and online platform with Aurora's deep pastoral and program work to give Indigenous students a real, durable learning advantage. Whether a student is preparing for NAPLAN in Year 9, working through ATAR-relevant subjects in Year 11–12, or transitioning into university through RISE, the goal is the same: a tutor who knows the student, paced support that compounds over time, and a clear path forward.
