How maths tutoring works in Adelaide
We match your child with a tutor who knows the SA curriculum and SACE. The same tutor, at the same time, every week.
Their tutor sets goals around your child and what they're learning in class, then reviews their progress and adjusts the program as they go.
Weekly lessons after school or on weekends that follow what their class covers each term of the SA school year, from NAPLAN to SACE.
After every lesson you get a written report: what was covered, how it went and what comes next. So you always know where things stand.

Parent's handbook

Maths in South Australian schools, from the move to high school to Stage 2.
Year 7 is now the first year of high school
Since 2022, Year 7 has been part of high school in South Australian public schools. That puts a new school and a faster pace all at once, right when maths turns abstract. A shaky Year 7 rarely fixes itself by Year 10, and algebra is one of the topics later SACE subjects lean on most.
How the SACE handles maths
Stage 1 is usually Year 11 and Stage 2 usually Year 12. Every Stage 2 maths subject is 70% school assessment and 30% an external exam, usually in November. Most of the grade is earned in tasks across the year, not on exam day.
Which SACE Stage 2 maths?
Methods and Specialist exist only at Stage 2. If either is the goal for Year 12, Stage 1 Mathematics is the subject to take in Year 11.
- Essential Mathematics
- Practical maths for work and everyday life
- General Mathematics
- The most popular
- Mathematical Methods
- Functions, calculus and statistics
- Specialist Mathematics
- Studied with Methods
What separates an A from a C in Methods
The difference between an A and a C in Methods is often not talent but the work done across the year, and past questions practised under time.
Questions about maths tutoring in Adelaide
From A$65 an hour, the same rate from Reception to Year 12. No contracts or sign-up fee, and you pay after each lesson. A qualified teacher is from A$75 an hour.
Yes. Senior students are matched with tutors who know their SACE maths subject, so lessons follow school assessments and the Stage 2 exam.
For most students, yes. A regular hour with one tutor builds steady progress. Stage 2 students sometimes add a lesson before exams.
Yes, as part of weekly lessons. Tutors build the maths behind NAPLAN numeracy using what your child is learning in class.
