Tuition FAQs

Fees for school level tutorial workshops are $80 / 1.5 hours. Fees for one-to-one tutorials are $88 / 45 min. The tutorial fees are payable at the end of 4 lessons.

The tutorial workshops run weekdays 4 pm or 6 pm and Saturdays 11 am, 1 pm or 3 pm. Individual tutorials are available between the hours 11 am - 3.30 pm weekdays.

Tutorials are held at the Accelerated Learning Tutoring Centre in Nedlands, opposite the Broadway Fair Shopping Centre.

The small group tutorials are 90 minutes and one-to-one tutorials are 45 min.

Accelerated Learning offers personalised tuition in the following subjects:

Primary School

Mathematics, science and English.

High School

Lower secondary maths, science & English

Mathematics Applications, Mathematics Methods & Mathematics Specialist

Physics

Chemistry

University

Maths

Physics

Chemistry

GAMSAT (medical entry)

Our small-group tutorials are typically attended by 2 - 4 students. The group tutorials are kept small to maximise the time the tutor can provide to each student. Students also have the opportunity to attempt questions themselves under the tutor's guidance.

After four tutorials an invoice is emailed to parents and includes details of fees and payment methods. These include paying by cash or card at the tuition centre, paying over the phone with a credit card, direct deposit or PayID.

Primary School

Modern Australian primary schools often do not assign enough maths homework to give the necessary practice and problem solving that is vital for mastering mathematics. At the end of tutorials we will usually give younger students additional study material to take home with them to practice.

Lower Secondary

Depending on their schools, students in lower high school may not be assigned enough homework to help them learn their school mathematics and science lessons adequately. In these cases we're happy to provide additional homework. Students might also require additional practice questions for tests and exams which can be provided.

Upper Secondary

Typically, year 11 and 12 students will be given enough homework material with which to learn their subjects but we are happy to provide additional practice questions for tests and exams.

Resource Centre

The tutoring centre has a library of textbooks, notes, sample exam papers, worked solutions from textbooks, etc. that are utilised in tutorials.

Teaching Methods

Tutorial lessons are tailored to meet individual student's needs and consist of detailed explanations of key concepts, going through examples of typical questions on a line-by-line basis, and having students attempt a wide variety of questions and problems from a variety of sources. In particular, applying problem-solving to more challenging questions.

Views on Technology in Learning

Use of technology in tutorials is deliberately kept to a minimum so as to facilitate better kinetic learning. Research has shown that handwriting notes leads to better memory retention and understanding than taking notes via keyboard. For younger students in particular, use of a calculator is kept to a minimum to improve student's arithmetic abilities, which improves their intuition for numbers and numerical processes. This provides a firmer basis for arithmetic, which will thus provide a solid foundation for the learning of higher mathematics.

Please complete an online enrolment form on the enrolment page. If you need to discuss any details first please contact the tutor.

There is no contract for parents or students to sign. Students do not need to sign up for a term or a minimum number of tutorials. Parents must agree, however, to pay for no-show appointments or pay late cancellation fees. Students cancelling lessons on the scheduled tutorial day will be charged a late cancellation fee of $16.50.

Online tuition is available during the following times:

M - F 11 AM - 3:30 PM

Online tuition is one-to-one only.

We understand that sometimes circumstances may require you to cancel a scheduled tutorial. If you inform us at least a day in advance of the lesson cancellation, no fee will be applied. A replacement tutorial may be possible on another day or during the next school holidays.

However, for tutorials cancelled on the day of the scheduled session, a $16.50 late cancellation fee will be applied. We value our students' commitments and the time of our tutor, so this fee helps us maintain a well-organised schedule.

If you have any questions or need to reschedule a tutorial, please don't hesitate to contact us.

No, tuition is only available at the tutoring centre in Nedlands. The centre has a library of educational resources which are incorporated into lessons. The availability of these resources improves the breadth and depth of the lesson while providing meaningful and challenging questions and problems to facilitate more in-depth learning and practice for tests and exams.

There is no minimum number of tutorials that need to be booked. However, learning is an ongoing process, and typically, a student cannot expect immediate results. For a better learning outcome, tuition should be spread over a period of time.

The tutor has more than 30 years' experience in mathematics and science education and is fully familiar with the school curriculum, including ATAR.

We ask for parents and students to update us with results from school tests, exam and reports. More generally however, assessment of progress is an ongoing process with attention given to a student's ability to answer questions and problems in a clear, concise manner that shows understanding.

Students will be assumed to continue with weekly tutorials during term unless we here otherwise. As a courtesy and to avoid a missed appointment fee, we request students no longer requiring tuition to inform us promptly.

Our tutor has degrees in mathematics & physics and has studied chemistry at a tertiary level. He has more than 30 years of experience as a professional tutor, providing tuition at all levels of maths, physics, chemistry, science, and English.

Our tutor welcomes email or phone enquiries to discuss their child's progress in their particular tutorial subject. Parents may also wish to discuss their child's progress at the office before or after lessons.
