How maths tutoring works in Melbourne
We match your child with a tutor who knows the Victorian Curriculum and VCE. 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 Victorian school year, from NAPLAN to SACs.
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.
In their own words
Real families. Real results.

Where the pressure points fall in Victorian maths, and the senior choices to think about before Year 10.
One design from Prep to the VCE
The Victorian Curriculum and the VCE are written by the same body, so maths is one continuous line. A Year 9 struggle often began as a small Year 5 gap.
- Term 1NAPLAN in March for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9
- Term 2The first big VCE SACs
- Term 3Year 10 students plan their VCE subjects
- Term 4VCE exams from late October
Why Years 5 and 6 matter more than they look
These are the years when many children either click with maths or quietly decide they are “not a maths person”. Working fluently between fractions, decimals and percentages is the single best preparation for secondary school, because Year 7 algebra is built on top of it.
VCE maths: General, Methods or Specialist?
General Mathematics is the study most Victorians take. Methods is a common prerequisite for university courses in science and engineering, and Specialist assumes Methods too. Scaling moves every year, so it is a poor reason on its own to pick one.
The step from Year 10 into Methods Units 1 and 2
Functions and calculus arrive in Units 1 and 2, and some students step across to General. Two habits pay off early: practising without a calculator, and building the bound reference steadily through the year instead of in the final weeks.
