Private Year 7 tutoring for the move to high school

Year 7 is where maths turns abstract. The Australian Curriculum brings in algebraic expressions built from constants, variables and brackets, and one-variable linear equations that are solved then checked by substitution, on top of integers, ratios, and the four operations with fractions, decimals and percentages. Measurement moves to the area of triangles and parallelograms, and to the angles formed when parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. A tutor works on the topic being assessed, then goes back and repairs the foundation underneath it. More detail sits on our maths tutoring page.

Every subject on the Year 7 timetable. English moves into analytical writing, complex and compound-complex sentences, and reading literary texts for the devices that build meaning, which is a real step up from primary writing tasks. Year 7 science is often the first proper lab year: particle theory, separating mixtures, balanced and unbalanced forces, classification keys and food webs. Humanities, languages and study skills are covered too. One tutor can hold two subjects, or a student can have a specialist for each. See our English tutoring page.

Yes. NAPLAN is sat in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, so Year 7 is the first time a student meets it inside a secondary timetable. It tests reading, writing, conventions of language and numeracy rather than one subject's content, so tutors treat it as ordinary schoolwork done properly: reading closely, writing to a prompt under time pressure, and staying fluent with number. Lessons follow the Australian Curriculum and the version each state uses, so a student in New South Wales works from the NSW syllabus their school is teaching.

From A$65 per hour, and the hour is the only thing being bought. There is no sign-up fee, no contract and no minimum number of lessons, and the invoice arrives after the lesson has happened rather than before it. Families pick the frequency: one hour a week is the usual pattern in Year 7, two when maths and English both need attention. The pricing page sets out how it works, and an account manager confirms the rate for the specific match before any lesson is booked.

Fill in the quote form on this page with the year level and the subjects that need work. An account manager calls within 24 hours to ask what is going wrong, which school and syllabus the student is in, and which afternoons or evenings suit. They then hand-pick a tutor and share the profile before a lesson is booked. Lessons run 1:1 online, so a student anywhere in Australia is matched to the right tutor instead of the nearest one. If the first tutor is not the right fit, we re-match.
