Online tutoring for Perth families
Perth families work through WA's school system toward the WACE, often with fewer local tutor options than the eastern states. Online one-to-one closes that gap, with degree-qualified tutors in Perth-time slots from A$30 a class.
The WA pathway
Perth students build toward the Western Australian Certificate of Education, with ATAR courses for university entry and general courses for other pathways. Weekly one-to-one sessions support the courses your child is actually enrolled in.
What Perth families request
Maths methods and applications, physics and chemistry, English, and NAPLAN preparation in middle years. Mining and engineering families also book coding for their children.
Perth scheduling
Weekday afternoons 4-9pm AWST and weekend mornings, stable year-round (no daylight saving in WA). Two free demo classes, sibling discounts, and weekly progress notes.
WACE and the 2026 ATAR exams
Year 12 students taking ATAR courses sit their written exams from 28 October to 18 November 2026, set by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA). The ATAR that follows decides most university offers, so the final weeks are about timed papers and marking-key detail rather than new content.
Gifted and Talented selective entry
WA's Gifted and Talented secondary programs, including Perth Modern School, select students through the Academic Selective Entrance Test. The process starts in Year 5, testing happens in Year 6 and places begin in Year 7. Families can register interest between March and October each year to be told when applications open.
