Private tutoring in Shepparton

No. Lessons are priced from A$65 per hour, with nothing added for distance, because nobody travels: every lesson is taught online. There is no fee to join, and nobody signs a contract. Payment follows each lesson instead of coming before it, so nothing is paid up front for lessons that have not happened yet. A student can start with a single subject and add a second one later, or pause through a busy stretch, without any penalty.

Yes, within the subjects Tutero tutors, and this is where online lessons earn their place. Tutero's search is not confined to the Goulburn Valley, so a Year 11 student taking Specialist Mathematics, Physics or Economics can learn from someone who knows that study well. The range runs the whole way down the school as well. Prep and primary students work on reading, spelling and number, and students in Years 7 to 10 get help with the core subjects, from algebra and essays to science.

A device with an internet connection and a quiet place to sit. Every Tutero lesson happens online, one student with one tutor: they meet live on screen and work through the same problems together. That takes the town out of the match. A student in Tatura, or in Numurkah, which sits in Moira Shire rather than Greater Shepparton, has exactly the same choice of tutor as a student in central Shepparton. The tutor works to the Victorian Curriculum F-10 and, from Year 11, to the study design for each subject chosen.

No. There is no partnership or arrangement between Tutero and any school in the area. Students come from schools such as Greater Shepparton Secondary College, Notre Dame College and Goulburn Valley Grammar School, and all three take students through to Year 12 and the VCE. Every school runs its own order of topics and its own assessment dates, so a tutor asks for both early and plans around them. At Goulburn Valley Grammar School, for instance, some students begin senior units in Year 10, so their tutor could be working at that level sooner than the year level suggests.

An account manager builds the match from one phone conversation: year level, school, subjects, what has been hard so far and how the student likes to learn. They then suggest someone who teaches at that level and suits that student, and the family approves the pairing before anything is booked. Where a tutor lives does not narrow the shortlist, which counts most for a senior student with an unusual mix of studies. Should the match feel wrong after a lesson or two, the account manager swaps in a different tutor, with no penalty.

Choose who the lessons are for, then fill in the year level, school and every subject that needs attention, including any senior study that is less common. Within 24 hours an account manager phones, talks through the assessments ahead and the goals the student has set, then suggests a tutor and a regular weekly time. Nothing goes in the diary until you agree to the match. Lessons are taught online at home with no contract, and the first bill comes after the first lesson.
