Boost your confidence and maximise your
Year 1 Humanities
grades with an expert one-on-one tutor in
Sydney
Our tutors will teach Year 1 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they build foundational skills in understanding history, geography, and developing inquiry skills. By the end of Year 1, students identify similarities and differences between families and communities, describe features of local places, and explore how these have changed over time. They learn to pose questions about the past and present, collect and record information, and interpret observations to draw conclusions about change. Students also learn to share their findings through simple narratives and explanations.
History:
Year 1 students explore how family structures and roles have changed or remained consistent over time. They learn about daily life in the past, comparing aspects such as toys, games, and school experiences to their own lives. They also examine First Nations Australian traditions, focusing on the cultural significance of play and storytelling.
Geography:
Students learn to identify natural, managed, and constructed features in their local environment and describe how places can change with the seasons. They explore the concepts of caring for places, including practices by First Nations Australians, and use maps to locate local features and describe directions.
Skills:
Students develop questioning skills, learning to ask "where," "what," "how," and "why" questions about people, places, and events. They collect and organise information using tools like maps and simple timelines, and they learn to interpret observations by comparing the past with the present. They draw conclusions about change over time and make simple proposals for caring for local places. Students share their findings through spoken narratives and use specific terms to describe time and sequence.

Absolutely! Students are able to choose online or in-person tutoring. We serve our customers in what ever way best works for them.
To start tutoring with Apex, please fill out this form. One of our Operations Managers will receive and process it. They will get all the necessary details from you and then begin the process of finding the perfect tutor for you.
Tutoring can happen anywhere based on your individual needs. We have tutors that can travel to your home or a nearby meeting spot. Alternatively, if you prefer or if we have no tutors in the area, we can arrange online tutoring. All tutors are trained to use online tools to maintain tutoring quality.
Currently, we are providing in-person tutoring services in Melbourne and Sydney. Additionally, we have online tutoring offerred for students in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
We recommend that tutoring occurs once a week. This allows the tutor and the student to get to know each other well and form a bond. However, the frequency of tutoring is completely up to you. If you would prefer to have multiple sessions a week or just need a tutor once a month, that can also be arranged.
Private tutoring is extremely effective for all types of students. The major benefit of private tutoring is the personalised, one-on-one support. Often in schools, a teacher has to teach 20+ students at once, as a result, if you miss something or fall behind it can be tough to catch up. With a private tutor, students can learn at their own pace, take time to explore new topics and ask as many questions as they want.
Whether you are a top achiever striving for the best marks or a student who is just looking to keep up, private tutoring with Apex Tuition Australia provides an intimate learning environment that builds confidence, promotes curiosity and improves grades.
At Apex Tuition Australia, the cost of tutoring depends on the student's age and preference of location. There are four different prices:

Many of them have gone on to further study the subjects they tutor at university. All our tutors are passionate educators and pride themselves on their knowledge in their chosen subjects. To become a tutor with Apex, all tutors go through a rigorous application and interview process as well supply us with a valid Working With Children's Check.

Of course! Sometimes, the learning styles or the personalities of the tutor and the student do not match. In these instances, we will find you a replacement tutor right away.
Yes, all of our tutors are familiar with the current curriculum. We recognise how important it is that your tutor is an expert in the curriculum they are teaching.
Each curriculum in Australia is slightly different and has its own nuances that are important for the tutor to know. We will always endeavour to match you with a tutor who is intimately familiar with the curriculum your child is completing.
At the moment, we have tutors who have completed the VCE, HSC, QCE, SACE, WACE and IB.
For younger year levels, we will endeavour to find a tutor who has completed the same course but this is less vital.
Finding the right private tutor involves understanding your educational needs and selecting a tutor with the appropriate expertise. Apex Tuition simplifies this process by offering a range of qualified tutors to match your requirements.
At Apex Tuition Australia, we offer a first session satisfaction guarantee! This means if you are not happy with your first session, we will give you a 100% refund and find you another tutor. For full details on the first sessions satisfaction guarantee, you can read out terms and conditions here.
