How much does tutoring cost in Australia?
6 min read · updated 2026-08-31
Australia has some of the highest tutoring rates of any country: experienced private maths tutors regularly charge A$60-100 per hour. Here is what drives those numbers and how online tuition changes them.
Typical Australian tutor rates
University-student tutors typically charge A$40-65 per hour, experienced tutors with strong results A$60-90, and classroom teachers A$90 and up. NAPLAN, Selective Schools and HSC preparation sit at the premium end because demand peaks before exam windows.
What you are really paying for
Rates track three things: the tutor's qualifications, their track record with your exam, and the city they live in (Sydney and Melbourne cost more). None of those require the tutor to be in the same room, which is why online tuition has grown so fast among Australian families.
How EagleTeach prices for Australian families
Packages start from A$89 equivalent per month (four 60-minute sessions, about A$22 per session) with degree-qualified tutors who teach NAPLAN, OC and Selective preparation and the Australian curriculum. Two free demo classes first, 20% sibling discount, and sessions in AEST-friendly afternoon and weekend slots.
When to start for NAPLAN and Selective
NAPLAN runs in March for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, so the useful preparation window is Term 4 into Term 1. Selective Schools and OC testing have their own calendar; steady weekly preparation from a year out beats a Term 1 scramble, and weekly mocks in the real online format make the biggest single difference.
