Boost your academic performance to the top with the best tutoring services in Adelaide!

Since mathematics is where my son was having trouble, I immediately signed him up for Maths Lit. It’s run by Abdullah, who used to be a high school maths teacher and shifted into full-time tutoring around 2014.

Their focus is purely on maths, with lessons available from primary school all the way to university level. You can choose between one-on-one sessions, small groups, or fully online, depending on what suits your style.

The free trial lesson was a huge plus for us since it gave my son a chance to see if their teaching style suited him. I also appreciate the Maths Helpline, which lets students get help between sessions without having to wait.

The only downside, apart from their focus being solely on maths, is the cost. They charge $85 per hour for private face-to-face sessions and $75 for online sessions, so they’re not exactly an affordable option.

Now, I’m in my school’s advanced class all thanks to him

“Abdullah is a very patient and creative tutor who explains the concept of math very well. Before he started tutoring me, I was behind in math and couldn’t understand any of the class work. Now, I’m in my school’s advanced class all thanks to him. He also responds very quickly when I ask him questions online and his lessons are extremely enjoyable. A very good tutor!”

Abdullah is the best maths tutor you could have!

“Abdullah is a great tutor, he always comes up with different methods to help me understand the concept in maths rather than only teaching the methods. He always reinforces strict expectations on my effort in maths and pays attention to my performance at school to ensure that I always achieve the best results. He is also excellent in explaining requirements for maths assignments as well as providing great exam practice materials that align with the school’s syllabus. Abdullah is the best maths tutor you could have!”

Advanced Education is a tutoring service that focuses on Year 11 and 12 students, especially those chasing strong Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) results. What’s interesting is that they only hire actual teachers and top ATAR grads, which gives their lessons a solid edge.

They offer group classes and one-on-one sessions, either online or in person, with subjects like maths, English, chemistry, physics, and more. They also support students with autism, ADHD, and learning difficulties, tailoring lessons to suit different needs and routines. That kind of care isn’t always easy to find.

It’s also a good thing that they have a money-back guarantee for your first lesson. If you’re not satisfied, you won’t need to pay anything.

However, given that their focus is on Year 11 students and above, they’re not a good choice if you want a tutor for someone who is younger.

The teachers are great and very consistent

“My family and I found so much support in Advance Education. It was easy to stay in contact with and always replied immediately, living remotely this was a god sent to us. We found really well suited teachers to our year 12 son who was needing support we could not give at that level. The teachers are great and very consistent. Thank you, keep up the good work. I highly recommend them”

The teachers provided are some of the best we’ve had so far

“We’ve been using Advanced Education for the last year for our son and are very impressed. The teachers provided are some of the best we’ve had so far, high quality teaching, very knowledgeable and invested in student’s improvement. Anything you need regarding tuition Alan accommodates quickly and at a very high standard. Will continue using their services next year, too. Highly recommend.”

A tutoring centre I found to be a solid fit for many students is Tutors SA. They offer support from primary through to senior school, with subjects like maths, English, biology, and chemistry all covered.

What really stands out is their focus on scholarship and accelerated programs. These are aimed at students preparing for ACER scholarship exams, the Ignite test, or STEM pathways. They also run an accelerated holiday program in January, which is handy if you want to track progress or get ahead.

Flexibility is another plus. Students can choose between small-group or one-on-one sessions, and they offer hybrid classes that suit families juggling busy schedules. With centres in Campbelltown and Mitcham, getting to sessions is fairly straightforward for most Adelaide families.

The only catch is the cost. One-on-one tutoring starts at around $100 per hour, making Tutors SA one of the pricier options available.

We truly appreciate the role Tutors SA played in her preparation

“My daughter passed the IGNITE exam with really good results, and we truly appreciate the role Tutors SA played in her preparation. Especially for the prep tests and practice papers for Maths, English, and Abstract Reasoning. It gave her the right kind of challenge and confidence she needed. Big thanks to the Tutors SA team for the tremendous effort and support throughout. Definitely recommend them!”

Both my children have shown significant improvement in their studies

“I am extremely grateful to TutorSA for the incredible support they have provided to my son and daughter. The teachers are knowledgeable and dedicated, ensuring that students truly understand the concepts rather than just memorizing them.

Since joining, both my children have shown significant improvement in their studies, gaining confidence and better grades. The learning environment is positive, and the staff is always ready to help. I highly recommend TutorSA to any parent looking for quality education and personalized attention for their children.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!”

Another tutoring centre that covers a pretty wide range of topics is RiseUp Tutorials. It was started over five years ago by Anuja Kapote, who brings together her experience in software engineering, lecturing, corporate training, and early childhood education to offer a broad mix of lessons.

While she teaches the usual subjects like maths and science, she also runs sessions in areas you don’t often see at other centres. Public speaking is one example where students learn to present with confidence in front of an audience.

Her work isn’t limited to school students. She also supports job seekers who want to improve their chances in a competitive market, offering interview training and resume writing services to help applicants make a strong impression.

However, since Anuja teaches every lesson herself in a one-on-one setting, her schedule can fill up quickly, making it important to book well in advance.

She always took the time to explain things clearly

“As a parent, I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor for my child. Anuja was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also incredibly patient and caring. She always took the time to explain things clearly and made sure my child felt supported and confident in their learning. I truly appreciated the positive impact she had not just academically, but also in building self-belief. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication. Highly recommended!”

She is very friendly with kids and focuses on individual performance

“Anuja is a wonderful teacher and easily approachable. My daughter has just started her maths tuition. She is very friendly with kids and focuses on individual performance.”

SY Tuitions is the tutoring centre that I think will suit college students pretty well. They have more than 15 years of experience, and their operating hours run until 10 PM every day, which makes them a good fit for students who might be loaded with a ton of classes.

They teach students from primary to tertiary in subjects like English, science, and maths, but their specialty is research design and academic writing. These lessons can help you in breaking down dense readings, linking theory to real examples, and organising your arguments with more clarity.

The only drawbacks are that replies to enquiries can take up to 24 hours, and they lack a clear pricing structure. You need to complete their free assessment to find out the cost, as fees are tailored to your specific needs.

SY Tuitions has been amazing!

“SY Tuitions has been amazing! I did 3 subjects: Methods, Physics, Spec and Sam has explained all these subjects in a way that makes sense. My grades have improved exponentially and feel way more confident going into the exam. Highly recommend for any future students looking to do well in school!
