Private one-on-one tutoring at your home or live online, across every year level and subject, with a learning plan shaped entirely around your child.
Why Choose Shoreline Tutoring?
Three things we hold to with every student, whichever way they learn with us.
Attention that is never spread thin
One-on-one means one tutor and one student for the whole lesson, at your home or online. Group classes stay small and run one course per class, so nobody sits through content meant for someone else.
- One tutor, one student, one-on-one
- One course per group class
- A tutor who knows your child's work
A plan built from where they are
We start by finding where marks are actually being lost, then build the plan from there. As your child improves the plan changes with them, rather than following a script written for everyone.
- Starts with a look at their real work
- Updated as they improve
- Homework aimed at their own gaps
Taught the way exams are marked
Every lesson follows the NSW syllabus and practises what markers reward: answering to the question's verb, structuring a full-mark response, and past papers under time. Between lessons, questions get an answer within 24 hours.
- Mapped to the NSW syllabus
- Past papers and worked solutions
- Session notes after every lesson
Two Ways to Learn With Us
One-on-one tutoring runs all year, across every year level and subject. Small-group classes run weekly through the term, currently for Year 12 maths, physics, chemistry and biology. Ask us which suits your child best.

What Our Students Say
Real results from real students and families. Here's how Shoreline Tutoring has helped them achieve their goals.
I have really enjoyed my Year 12 IB Chemistry tutoring at Shoreline Tutoring, and my tutor has made a huge difference to both my confidence and my results. Before I started, I found the calculation side of Chemistry difficult, especially moles, stoichiometry, and longer multi-step questions. What helped me most was the way my tutor explained things, he broke difficult ideas down clearly and always linked the maths-based problems to the chemistry behind them, which made topics that had previously felt overwhelming much easier to understand. What I appreciated most was that he never just taught me to memorise a method. He made sure I understood why each step worked and how to apply the same thinking across different types of questions. After each session, he set targeted homework and practice exam questions for each Chemistry subtopic and sub-subtopic we covered, which helped me consolidate what I had learned and build real confidence with the kinds of questions that come up in exams. That structured approach made a big difference to my problem-solving skills, and topics I once found daunting started to feel manageable. Over time, I became more accurate, faster, and far less stressed in quantitative Chemistry. I have improved enormously through his tutoring and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any student looking to build genuine confidence and a much stronger understanding of IB courses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything parents and students ask before getting started.
Your first lesson is completely free with no obligation. We use it to understand your child's current level, identify specific areas for improvement, and show you exactly how our tutoring approach works. After the session, we'll provide honest feedback and a recommended learning plan.
We offer one-on-one tutoring in English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and Business Studies for Years 7 to 12 (including HSC), and weekly small-group classes for Year 12 maths, physics, chemistry and biology. We also provide targeted preparation programs for Selective High School entry, Opportunity Classes (OC), and NAPLAN across all tested year levels.
One-on-one tutoring happens at your home or live online, whichever suits you, and the price is the same either way. Our Year 12 small-group classes run both ways too: in person at 558 Pacific Highway, St Leonards on Saturdays, or live online on Sundays.
Each session length is tailored to the individual student. Factors including age, subject complexity, concentration, and how the student is progressing on the day, all shape how long each lesson is. Breaks can also be built into longer sessions to keep energy and concentration at their best. For students preparing for major exams, we can arrange extended or more frequent sessions as needed.
We recommend at least once a week to build consistent momentum and keep concepts fresh between school lessons. That said, frequency is flexible, some students prefer with a single session per week, while others thrive from more regular tutoring. We'll work with you to find a rhythm that suits your child's schedule and goals, and be flexible especially around exam periods.
Yes! After every session, your child receives notes summarising what was covered, along with targeted homework and practice questions. This ensures nothing is forgotten and gives students structured material to revise between sessions.
We keep parents informed every step of the way through a dedicated WhatsApp group that includes the student, parents, tutor, and tutor's assistant. You'll receive regular updates covering topics completed, areas of improvement, and upcoming focus areas, and we always welcome questions between sessions!
Our 20 Lesson Bundle offers a 10% discounted rate compared to per-hour pricing, it is ideal for students committed to consistent improvement over a term. Per-hour pricing gives you flexibility if you prefer to book on a session-by-session basis. Visit our Pricing page for full details.
