Pick a year level and have a go. It's a rough guide to what we cover at each stage, and your child might surprise you.
1What is ¾ of 24?
24 ÷ 4 = 6, and 3 lots of 6 is 18.
2What is 0.6 as a percentage?
Multiply by 100: 0.6 × 100 = 60%.
3A rectangle is 7 cm long and 4 cm wide. What's its area?
Area = length × width = 7 × 4 = 28 cm². 22 would be the perimeter.
1Solve 3x + 5 = 20
Take 5 from both sides to get 3x = 15, then divide by 3.
2What is −4 × −6?
A negative times a negative is positive, so it's 24.
3Simplify the ratio 12 : 18
Divide both sides by 6, the highest common factor.
1Expand (x + 3)(x − 2)
x² − 2x + 3x − 6 = x² + x − 6.
2A right-angled triangle has shorter sides of 6 and 8. How long is the hypotenuse?
6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100, and √100 = 10.
3What's the gradient of the line through (1, 2) and (3, 8)?
Rise over run: (8 − 2) ÷ (3 − 1) = 6 ÷ 2 = 3.
How it works
Have a chat
Call 0431 953 530 or send an enquiry. We'll talk about year level, school and what's been tricky lately.
First lesson
We start with a relaxed check-in on the basics to find the gaps. You'll get a short summary afterwards.
Weekly lessons
Same time each week, with a plan that lines up with school tests. You'll get a quick update after every lesson.
Why one-on-one works
In a class of 25, a student who's lost on Tuesday is usually still lost on Friday. One-on-one, we can spot the exact step that went wrong and sort it out on the spot, even if it's something from two years ago.
Lessons are built around what's happening at school. Bring the textbook, homework and test papers and we'll work from those.
- Lessons planned around upcoming tests
- Old gaps found and filled
- Homework help when it's needed
- Quick progress notes for parents after each lesson
- Same tutor every week
- Online lessons recorded for revision

Quick answers
More on the FAQ page.
How long is a lesson?
An hour is standard. Some Year 5 and 6 students do better with 45 minutes, and longer sessions are available before big tests.
Do you come to our place?
Yep. In-home lessons are available across most of metro Melbourne. A local library works too if that's easier. Check the areas we cover.
Are we locked into a contract?
Nope. Pay as you go or grab a term pack. You can pause or stop whenever you like with 24 hours' notice.
Will lessons match what's happening at school?
That's the whole idea. Lessons follow the Victorian Curriculum, and we work from your child's textbook, homework and upcoming tests. Bring along whatever the school sends home.
