From 56% to 100% on the same maths topic
Amrita came to Tutero scoring 56% on fractions and decimals. She was matched with Rishika, who worked with her every week on exactly what her class was covering. Her next topic test on the same material came back at 100%, and she has since said she wants to take maths further.

Common questions
What students and parents ask before starting.
How much does Year 1 tutoring cost?
From A$65 an hour, the same rate as Year 12. No contract, no sign-up fee, and you pay after each lesson, so you can see how your child settles.
Is Year 1 too early to start tutoring?
Not if reading or number is starting to feel hard. Year 1 is when phonics turns into real reading, and children who fall behind early can lose confidence. A weekly lesson helps while the gap is small.
What should a Year 1 student be able to do?
By the end of Year 1, children are expected to blend and segment sounds, read simple decodable books, write a sentence with a capital letter and full stop, count to 120, and add and subtract small numbers.
How do you keep a 6 year old focused online?
Lessons use the interactive whiteboard for drawing, games and moving objects, and the tutor changes activity every few minutes. Lessons are live, so the tutor notices straight away when attention drifts.
Is there Year 1 tutoring near me?
