A Custom Term Plan, Ahead of School
Private tutoring at your home or live online, with a custom study plan for the whole term. It covers every topic your child's course needs and teaches each one before school does, so class becomes revision. Start with a free trial lesson and decide afterwards.

- One student, the whole session
No payment up front. No obligation to continue after the trial lesson.
At home or online, one to one
Your tutor comes to your home, or teaches your child in a live video lesson. Either way it is the same tutor, the same plan and the same price, so choose whichever fits your week.
The whole hour is theirs
Every minute of the lesson is spent on your child’s questions, gaps and goals.
Undivided attention
Questions are answered as they come up, and a misunderstanding is corrected in the same lesson it appears.
A custom plan for the whole term
We map every topic your child’s course covers this term and set an accelerated pace that teaches each one before their school does. The plan is revised as they improve, so nothing is missed.
Moves at their pace
A topic that clicks in ten minutes takes ten minutes, and one that needs three lessons gets three. The pace is set by your child.
Scheduled around your week
Lessons are booked at times that suit your family, which makes them easier to keep up across a whole term.
How the trial lesson works
Your child sits a full lesson with their tutor, and you receive an honest assessment of whether it is the right fit.
A quick chat before the lesson
We ask what your child is studying, where they feel stuck, and what they want out of the term, so the first lesson is aimed at something real.
A full, ordinary lesson
Your child works through their own material with the tutor and leaves understanding something better than when they arrived.
You decide afterwards
We send a short note on how the lesson went and an outline of their term study plan. If it is not the right fit, there is nothing further to do.

Common questions
Is the trial lesson really free?
Yes. Your child sits a full lesson at no cost, with nothing to pay up front and no obligation to continue afterwards.
What is in the term study plan?
Every topic your child’s course covers this term, in the order we will teach it, paced to stay ahead of what their school is teaching. We build it from the trial lesson and their school program, then revise it as they improve, so none of the term’s content is left out. Every one-on-one student gets one, whether you pay by the hour or by the bundle.
How long is each lesson?
Lessons are customised in length, from one hour upwards, and we build in structured breaks where they help a student keep focus.
What do we need for an online lesson?
A laptop or tablet with a camera and a stable internet connection. A stylus or drawing tablet helps for maths and science but is not required. Plenty of students write on paper and hold it up to the camera, and the tutor marks from there.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Pay per hour with no commitment, or pay for 20 hours up front for a lower rate, whichever works better for you.
Which year levels and subjects do you cover?
English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and Business Studies, plus NAPLAN, Selective High School and Opportunity Classes preparation across the tested year levels.
How does this compare with small-group classes?
One-on-one gives your child the whole session and a custom study plan for the term. Group classes cost substantially less per hour, add peer discussion, and run one class per course. Many families start with one and add the other.
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.
