Best Tutoring / Kids Programs

Incredible support, great modules that are broken into easy to understand and complete for my nearly 12 yr old grandson. Worth every cent.

My boys enjoyed the whole camp, the teachers are friendly and very patient. Will enroll for next term again!

I enrolled my son with Cluey to get help with his spelling. I was promised we would have a consistent tutor as he needs consistency to help him… Read more

learn. Not only did we not get a consistent tutor, some struggled with English as it wasn't their first language. Cluey also cancels VERY often, so you never know who you will get or if you will get a lesson. And they say they will refund you, but they don't. And if you sign up for their special $50 for 6 lessons offer, watch out, as they will charge you for the subsequent 6 sessions at $82 each. So, you're locked into 12. I was promised a trial session of 6 tutorials, then I could choose to pursue more. That's not the case. They lock you in. It's a scheme. So beware of that going in. Of the 4 tutors we did have, 2 were decent, one was ok, and one was not good at all. It was a terrible experience. Do not use this organisation. You will regret it.

Amazing fun program my son really enjoyed learning and was very easy to navigate and communication with the actual Euka team was so responsive and… Read more

Learning to sing with Zac has been a fantastic experience. He’s a knowledgeable and patient teacher who explains techniques clearly and makes lessons… Read more

easy to follow. Zac is very encouraging while still giving honest and constructive feedback, which really helps build both skill and confidence. He adapts each lesson to suit individual needs and focuses on healthy vocal techniques like proper breathing and control. His supportive approach and passion for teaching make learning enjoyable and effective. I’d highly recommend Zac to anyone looking to improve their singing.

the staff are the worst so so so so bad

Unlike others, the questions here are really challenging. My girl tried maybe half of their questions and all the questions are clear and no incorrect answers or explanations. It just shows up the quality

Very disappointed with our experience at Kumon. The teaching felt rushed, communication was poor, and there was little individual attention given to… Read more

the child. For the fees charged, I expected much better support and progress tracking. It felt more like repetitive worksheets than actual learning support. Would not recommend based on our experience.

appreciate the dedication from the admin team in making my daughters feel heard and taken care of. Recommend for middle school highly.

Thank you! – Kaylah at Ignite Learning has been wonderfully supportive of my daughter throughout her senior English studies. It was great to see improvement in both her confidence and her grades. Thank you!

Wouldn’t recommend this centre to anyone. The centre owner [Name Removed] will tell you how to be a parent, take payments out inconsistently, not put… Read more

payments made by eftpos onto your statement until you pick up on it. She refuses to provide centre policies and send weekly statements. My son was bullied by this Women. Children & babies are left unattended while sleeping when understaffed because she will tell her staff that it’s fine. Lack of variety for meal times, very repetitive and boring. Children go hours in the same nappies without being changed. She will push you to have your child in care for more days, because “that’s what’s best”. She has also previously had a centre in Victoria closed down.

Warning: Avoid at All Costs Unless You Want Endless Stress and Letdowns Affinity Education presents itself as a trusted childcare provider but my… Read more

experience was a nightmare. Behind the slick marketing is a toxic system that cares more about protecting its reputation and profits than the well-being of children or families.

The staff turnover was relentless. My child was passed from one educator to another with zero continuity. This constant upheaval damages children’s emotional security and shows a shocking lack of respect for families.

Communication? Non-existent or full of evasive, meaningless statements. When serious concerns were raised, the response was corporate spin and deflection not honesty or accountability. They act like they’re running a cartel, not caring for vulnerable kids.

The centre was clearly understaffed, especially during crucial times like outdoor play and room changes. I saw first hand how this compromised safety. Bathrooms and play areas were dirty and neglected basic standards not met.

Affinity Education’s so-called “policies” on inclusion and care are nothing but empty words. What I experienced was a culture of avoidance, denial, and dumping the burden of fighting for your child’s rights on exhausted parents.

If you value your child’s safety and emotional wellbeing, stay far away. Affinity will let you down again and again and then try to sweep it under the rug.

DO NOT USE Tutoring for Excellence. The tutoring was sub-standard, parent communication poor, the terms unreasonably inflexible, and the interactions… Read more

unpleasant. But most of all, when we cancelled after a year and thousands of dollars in fees, they KEPT OUR MONEY under cover of “terms and conditions”. Buyer beware.

We engaged them for our daughter for the 2025 school year. Across three children we’ve had hundreds of hours of tutoring with multiple providers. We know what good tutoring looks like. This was not it.

1. Poor quality tutoring Sessions were largely tutor-led monologues with minimal opportunity for engagement. In English, the tutor set weekly creative writing tasks but provided little meaningful feedback, despite our repeated request that our daughter be taught how to analyse texts using literary devices — her key weakness. In maths, there was plenty of chatting but little structured teaching, and algebra (our main concern) was never properly addressed. Our daughter ultimately told us she was not learning. That defeats the entire purpose.

2. No proper lesson feedback to parents Every other tutoring service we’ve used provides brief written feedback after each lesson — what was covered, gaps identified, and next steps. Tutoring for Excellence refuses to make this part of the service. When we pushed, we were told they had “been in business 30 years” and were not changing. Feedback was eventually provided, but at the expense of lesson time — and it amounted to little more than copied curriculum content with no qualitative insight. For a premium hourly rate, this is unacceptable.

3. Rigid cancellation rules You must hold prepaid credit at all times and are automatically charged in 6-hour blocks. Cancellation only becomes effective once all credit is used at a minimum of one hour per week. In plain English: once they have your money, you’re taking lessons whether you want them or not. No meaningful flexibility for illness or holidays. Zero discretion.

4. Aggressive, clause-driven communication All correspondence is framed around sub-clauses of their terms. No commercial judgement. No relationship focus. Just “as per clause 2.4”. The sales process presents one impression; the operational reality is rigid and robotic.

5. The clincher — they kept unused credit At the end of a full year — having paid thousands — we decided before the new school year not to continue. Due to timing, they had auto-charged another 6 hours. We had 5 unused hours ($475) on file. We requested a refund.

They refused.

After significant pushback, they offered to retain $210 as an “administration fee” for services never delivered. After further pressure, they reduced that to $142 as a “goodwill gesture”. There was no goodwill in it. We were long-standing, reliable clients. They chose to end the relationship by keeping part of our unused money.

Retaining hundreds of dollars for services not provided is a break fee in everything but name. It may sit inside their terms, but it is not fair and not customer-centric.

If you are comfortable prepaying in blocks, being locked into rigid cancellation mechanics, receiving limited feedback, and potentially forfeiting unused credit, proceed.

If not, there are many tutoring providers who are flexible, communicative and commercially reasonable.

We strongly recommend you look elsewhere.
