Parents seek qualified tutors, but these tutors need to be using the right curriculum and someone needs to check the quality of the tutoring offered and how it is delivered. This is what we call quality control. Tutors need to have a structured program not just random things to do.
For maths tutoring a structured program is needed to ensure conceptual understanding not just covering methods and calculations. When students reach a deep level of understanding they perform better in maths.
The right maths tutors, yes they do help. Make sure you find the right one. How do you know if a tutor is a good maths tutor? You need to look at qualifications, passion, experience, quality curriculum and quality control.

There are red flags you need to pay attention to:
If your child finds school boring, it might be a sign of disengagement at school. They might be struggling or gifted. Gifted students usually disengage as the level of maths taught at school is too easy for them.
If your child finds doing homework challenging and feels like it is a big chore, they probably need maths tutoring
If your child lacks the independency to do their homework without your help, they might need maths tutoring

This is what we call quality control. Tutors need to have a structured program not just random things to do. Especially when it comes to writing, it is not just the creativity that needs to be enhances, but also grammar, spelling, punctuation and students need to have a broad range of higher-level vocabulary. English needs to be tutored comprehensively and in a structured way.

The range of tutoring is from $45 per hour to $165 per hour. It depends on the qualification of the tutor and also on the quality of teaching. Tutoring can be a waste of money if no quality control measures are put in place. Parents need to check if the place has a structured program and if the tutors have been trained properly. It is not enough to tutor as teachers teach at school. Tutoring is more specialised than just teaching at school.
Best tutors in Sydney for primary and high school students Global Education Academy is a multi-award winner for best educational services in the national award.
Based on the qualifications and experience of teachers, the cost can range from $45 per hour to $165 per hour. Tutors need to have the qualifications and the training needed to make a difference. Especially for primary students, tutoring them as they are taught at school will not make a difference. To make a difference students need to be taught differently and have a richer more structured program that works.

Year on year the top 10 high schools in their HSC ranking, 9 of them are selective public school. It is definitely worth it not just because of the ranking and the academic results but also for the like-minded peers they will have in these school. Most students are education-oriented and quite serious when it comes to their studies. Most of them continue to undertake university degrees.
Preparation for the selective test starts early. Many parents start when their children in year 3 or year 4. The test is in term 1 year 6. Preparation usually is done in a tutoring centre. Practice tests do not work by themselves. Students need to learn and be taught and understand. The test is becoming less predictable every year so practice tests are not very effective.

The selective school test is quite challenging. It is also becoming less predictable every year. Hence, students need to be equipped with exceptional problem-solving skills and be independent in their thinking.
Students need to complete 4 exams in one go. The need to have high level of problem-solving skills, analytical skills and also great exam techniques and time management skills. They need to know what to do if they encounter a question they have never seen before.
Dear GEA staff and teachers, I can’t believe Ema’s Year 6 journey is over. The last 2 years were very difficult in many ways and obviously made Ema’s preparation for selective and scholarship exams quite challenging. I have to thank all of the GEA staff and teachers from the bottom of my heart as even though there was a lot of “unknown” in our kids’ lives they made Ema’s study journey so much easier. Clear communication, very approachable staff helping us to navigate with online learning and most of all dedicated teachers helping our kids with their preparation for the exams and overall progress in their studies…
I cannot Thank Global Education Academy enough, I thought by enrolling my son to a private school he is receiving the best education possible. I was so wrong. Since kindergarten, his report was not that great, and I was a super concern, and whenever I raised my concerns with his class teacher I was told not worry, every kid is different and that he was doing well.
After reaching out to Global Education Academy within the first two weeks I could see the difference.
I am not sure what magic spell Kate is using on my son, but it is working! Thank you, Kate, for making my son believe in his ability, I am super confident that he is in good hands. I cannot wait to see his school report.
“Hello, I thought I’d share some positive feedback on my son, Zac, tutoring experience from GEA Kogarah. He thoroughly enjoys his lessons with Ms Caroline each week so much so he looks forward to them. He finds learning fun even being on zoom. I have to say that if it wasn’t for her tutoring “pro-ess” and ability to keep him engaged he would definitely be further behind with the impact of COVID / homeschooling. Please pass on thanks and kudos. Cheers”
“We decided to have Zaviar attend GEA because of its unique research-based teaching method. Living in Country NSW has meant Zaviar having to fly to Sydney each weekend to attend the course at GEA (that was before COVID). Despite the hard logistics, we are very appreciative as Zaviar received a scholarship for Knox. A couple of years later, we enrolled his younger brother in the online S&S course and he also received a scholarship to Knox. We are very happy parents.”
