Plan ahead – Read a few reviews about tutors being not available. We booked our calls in advance. If kids need help on one particular session, we move them onto the next & flag that session for help during their scheduled call. Or if they have a ‘red’ session, we get the tutor to go back through it. We book a weekly, or even two weekly calls for each of our… Read more
three kids & have never had an issue. The bookings can be made via the app.
We have had one issue with a correct answer being noted as incorrect, but we just move on.
We are a year into our plan & will happily continue.
More like fraud – I did enrolled my kids almost two years ago. I was given a year or two years contract and I chose the two years after listening to all the sweet talk from the Sales man. The first week was awesome. The tutors did called to see the progress of the kids and gave feedback to me or my mrs. After 3 to 6 months, things started getting bad. The calls has… Read more
completely stopped. It somestimes takes two days for them to return the kids calls. Eventually the kids started complaining that, live tutor isnt for them as it is hard getting them to help . I was told I have signed a two years contract when i called to cancel the membership. Humm had already gave Livetutor $ 5700 . So the kids have stopped usingthe service ages ago and till date I havent receive any call from Live Tutor to ask why the kids quit or havent been completing their assignments. DEFINITELY, THINK BEFORE JOINING THIS MOB/ LIVE TUTOR
Please spare yourself and stay away from this company – Please spare yourself and stay away from this company. I have been locked on a 2-year contract with them not knowing that the tutors are not immediately available when my kids need support with their online courses. Better did not also inform us that there is a 6months contract. If only we knew, we would have tried the 6 months first before… Read more
jumping on the cliff. My kids don't like it either because once they got stuck and tried to call the tutor, they will get advised that the tutor will call them back and mostly after 40mins. By the time they call back, the kids are already not in front of the computer. More than $5k is a lot to waste for a service you can't rely upon. Plus the management team will do their best just to keep ripping off your pockets
Very innovative learning approach – A great experience is created when excellent service is combined with excellent tutors. Highly recommended for parents who are trying to improve their kids math and English skills. Very warm and vivacious team!
Please stay away – Hi, Guys, please stay away from this Live Tutor. When I didnt sign the contract, they were calling me every day twice and responding me within no time. But, when I signed the contract, i start to get annoyed. Their tutor never come on time and some times, i waited for more than 30 min. They dont respect your time as they call you whenever they… Read more
want. I was being told that it was an old issue because they hired more tutor and timing issue has been resolved. But, it never got resolved. I was being told that if I am unhappy with their service, i can cancel the contract anytime with any fee and full refund will be available. But, I had to really fight with to cancel my contract. Their attitude completely changed. I try to call them twice, three or four time in a day but no response. They still owe my money and not ready to give. If i could, i will give ZERO stars. Stay away from this liar and unreliable company.
fantastic when it works – We did LiveTutor all of 2020 and 2021. It's often hard to get a tutor to call when you need one or they would call late in the evening when the kids are going to bed (Year 4/5 and Year 6/7) and we would have to find another day we can do it (fitting in with sport etc). I learned to make sure the lesson plans are slightly ahead of what the kids are… Read more
doing in class each week (I'm providing a math outline at the beginning of each term that I'm getting from the kid's teachers) to allow for the delays in tutoring. I persisted because the program and the actual tutoring is fantastic!! You get the odd tutor that is a bit useless but most of them are good. Our girls went from struggling with basics, hating math and getting low C's to understanding/enjoying(!) math and getting high B's, our high school girl almost got an A in her last 2 school reports. Our 2 year contract has just finished and we signed up to continue and adding English.
Not at all what we expected – Kids waiting over an hour to speak to someone and we didn’t realise that the tutor times we over east (we are in Perth). When the kids have spoken to tutors some are great but some are absolutely hopeless and even I can’t understand what they are saying. Work is nothing that the kids are learning at school and the one time I contacted them about… Read more
the work my son has to practice for an exam they did put some questions up on his page but it was for yr 11….. he is only yr 7 so completely pointless. I would not recommend this company to anyone and now have had to pay another tutor on top of this causing a lot of financial strain on our family.
There are no progress on my children's grades after 1 year of using Livetutor – As most other parents do, we are trying to give our kids good supports with their education. We have tried face to face tutors before but because of this pandemic, we opted to try online tutoring. There we came across Livetutor. I can say that Live Tutor is a pain for us and never lived up to our expectations. It never worked in the first months… Read more
and nothing has changed since then. Every time my kids try to call the tutor, they were always told that someone will call them back. Most of the time, the tutors will call back at least 40 mins after calling them and by that time, my kids are already doing something else or we are already on the table for dinner. It is a lot of money to waste and don't fall for the agent's sweet words that your kids will get higher grades in no time. That is not possible if the tutors are out of reach. Think about it really hard if you want to try Livetutor. We are now locked in 2 years contract and there's no way to get out but to endure the remaining time with them. More than $5k is a lot of money to waste for nothing. And the worst part, my kid's grades have no progress at all so now we are paying other tutoring program on top of paying Livetutor.
Useless and scamming people – They told me u can break the subscription anytime when joining time.But that's not true.Disappointed with service and no quality of study materials and no support from teachers.please don't go with them
Bad Decision – Teaching course and content was alright. The only problem, is that I live in WA, and tutors are in the East. By the time I finish work, and get home, its abit late for my child to go into Live tutor. The arrangement is not working for us. Currently, we are being charged, even though we are not able to use the program as required! I tried to… Read more
cancel, but was told this contract cannot be cancelled. To make matters worse, I'm a single parent, and I don't have extra income for such expenses! I would be wary about signing up, as when I did, I wasn't made aware of the 6 months option, which would have been better, in order to assess whether the program could work for us! They sign you up with a third party for finance, making it hard to deal directly with them! I would say, read the fine print carefully, before signing up!
Dont sign up they take your money even if you are not using the service – Very hard to cancel and contact them. No customer service. They don’t care if they take your money but do not use the service. Very unsatisfied. Wish we never signed up. Every week we loose money with no contact from them. We don’t know how to stop them from taking our money every week. Pls help Show details
This is great! 2kids for the price of 1 – Peter is an awesome man who came to our house to discussed the benefits of taking this tutor online for our kids. 2 kids for the price of 1 is a bonus. It's so helpful for the kids who struggle on their Math and English
Perfect start to 2021 Learning made easier – Start of last year, I was getting feedback from my son's teachers about lagging behind his work even though he is very intelligent. During the year we started using LiveTutor Online and Manager helped devise a strategy on where to start and where we want to be by the end of year. The school teachers didnt had anything but praises about him on how… Read more
he has exceeded their expectations. Thank you Livetutor! We trialed other similar products but my kids loved LiveTutor.

Be careful – **Never sign up to this service** This service was sold to me in Perth region by one of their agent and was silent about other options, selling me the 24 months option. He never gave me the 6 months option which I would have subscribed to in the face of dwindling income, while also giving me the opportunity to review the service. I asked on what… Read more
basis I could break the contract and he told me if my income was reduced and affecting me financially. Now that my salary is halved, they are refusing to get me out of the service. Apart from the financials, you call their support line, it goes to voicemail. Sometimes they call u back, sometimes they don't. Now, I have been going through the process of contract cancellation and they don't want to cancel it. I have told them to move me to PAYG and give me the differential so that I can pay the penalty and unsubscribe but they aren't shifting grounds.
* They sign you up to a loan with HUMM for the whole subscription period and u will be paying HUMM back. When you request a cancellation, they ask you to call humm to negotiate an extension of loan with them.

Waste of time and money – Long wait time for call back. No one follow up.. how Child is doing or if any pending tasks. You have to invest your time too. So similar aap are available online for $10-$12/month. Some tutors are good but some are just ok. What they explain before signing up its totally different once you hv paid membership. 1 tutors clearly told that call only if need help. So its not live 101 .. tuition... Show details

The worst program I have ever come across. DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!! – I am extremely unsatisfied with this product... Please whatever you do, do not buy this product!!!! My two children found this product extremely difficult to navigate, not to mention the weight times were longer than 45 minutes for a call back. My daughter had difficulty learning in the program states it will be able to amend to her learning… Read more
difficulties not once did this program do that. Not to mention the worst of all, teaching my children that the answer that they have just given (which is correct)... this program was saying it was not correct.... I mean what is this program teaching! That you are not ever correct when you give the correct answers... The manager stated that this was an error that will be corrected but this has occurred many times for both of my children and is not how I see my children progressing in learning and moving forward. There was no help from the company manager. All I got was SORRY YOU HAVE SIGNED A CONTRACT there is nothing you can do. Please do NOT ENTER into any contract with this terrible company. I have put a picture to see the errors my children where facing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write… Read more
Long wait time and poor quality of tutors – Hello Live Tutor, I am highly disappointed with your services as the wait time is growing longer then 1 hour. I signed up for 2 years commitment and was told that we will get the tutor support in 15-20 mins which was the case in initial days but now even after waiting for 1 hour we do not get the tutor support. Also the quality of faculty are… Read more
deteriorating except for selected few like [Name Removed]. I feel cheated with the promises made and what the actual delivery is. I seriously want my money back as every time I call and have to wait for one hour is quite stressful for me.

Fantastic help for my kids! – My life has been made that little bit easier. The kids really enjoy the online lessons. Times tables daily is a breeze now and my youngest at school (Year 2) can now do her 4's, 6's and 7's at an amazing speed. They jump on their iPad, practice, and I get some space. LOL
