The value shift
Why we shifted matching your goals.
We know what you’re looking for. You want your child to get focused, personalised support — not just another seat in a classroom.
Over the years, we found we could offer so much more to students and families through our small group programme — better resources, more support touchpoints, and a structure that goes well beyond the lesson itself. So that’s where we’ve put our energy.
The result is a tutoring experience that’s more complete than anything a single private tutor can offer — and at a fraction of the cost.
Small group tutoring from $39/hr.
Top private tutors can charge $90+/hr.
Focused attention. Top tutors. A fraction of the price.
How small group tutoring keeps it personal for your child
At Dymocks, small group tutoring is designed to keep every student active, accountable and progressing — not just present.
Maximum 12 students per class
Maximum 12 students per class. Small enough that your child’s tutor knows their name, their gaps, and their goals.
Individual workbooks.
Individual workbooks. Every student works through their own material. Tutors provide feedback directly on their work — in real time, in the same document.
Active, not passive
Active, not passive. Sessions use live questions, digital whiteboards and direct tutor interaction throughout. No sitting and listening.
Learning alongside peers
Learning alongside peers. Students ask questions, hear different approaches and build the kind of academic confidence that carries into the classroom.
