Our tutors will teach Year 8 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they build a solid understanding of history, geography, civics, and economics. By the end of Year 8, students analyse the causes and effects of historical events, describe geographical processes and their impact on places, and understand how Australian democracy and laws function. They explore economic concepts like markets and the role of taxation. Students develop skills in questioning, collecting and interpreting data, and drawing reasoned conclusions about historical, geographical, political, and economic phenomena, presenting their findings clearly.
History:
Year 8 students study the transition from the ancient world to the early modern era, focusing on key events and developments in Medieval Europe, the Renaissance, and empires such as the Ottoman Empire and the Mongol Empire. They examine the social, cultural, and political changes that shaped these periods and the lasting impacts of contact between societies. Students learn to analyse primary and secondary sources, sequence historical events, and understand different perspectives.
Geography:
Students explore the sub-strands of "Landforms and landscapes" and "Changing nations." They study the processes that shape natural landscapes, the cultural significance of landforms, and the challenges of managing environmental hazards. They also examine the process of urbanisation, the factors driving population shifts, and the sustainability of urban areas. The curriculum includes a focus on the interconnections between people and places, especially in the context of Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
Civics and Citizenship:
Students learn about Australia’s political system, including how citizens participate in democracy through voting, advocacy, and civic action. They explore the roles of political parties, the process of law-making, and the distinctions between statutory and common law. The curriculum also covers diverse perspectives on national identity, including those of First Nations Australians, and how these perspectives contribute to a cohesive society.
Economics and Business:
Year 8 students investigate how markets function and the factors influencing resource allocation in Australia. They study how businesses adapt to market opportunities and changes in the nature of work. The curriculum also covers the importance of financial planning, budgeting, and the role of Australia’s taxation system in supporting community needs. Students develop skills in analysing economic trends, interpreting data, and making informed decisions about economic issues

I highly recommend Louis as a tutor for Chemistry and Maths! He has been instrumental in helping Daniel understand complex concepts and formulas in both subjects. Thanks to Louis's patient and engaging teaching style, Daniel has improved his grades and his confidence in tackling challenging problems.

Jasper has been incredible for Finn! He has made a tremendous impact on Finn's academic performance and self-confidence. Thanks to Jasper's personalized approach and dedication, Finn has improved both his grades and his attitude towards learning.
Mia had always found Maths difficult so for her final year of school we contacted Apex to organise a tutor for us. Mia was paired with Alex. Alex and Mia would organise everything together finding times that would work for both of them. Alex was always punctual and helpful. Mia was very grateful to have Alex help her through Year 12.
Max was a great tutor who really cared about me as a student. As someone who really found Maths difficult I really appreciated the time that Max took to explain concepts to me in a way that I could understand. At times he as more of a very smart friend than a tutor. Ultimately, he helped me achieved the score in Maths that I needed to get into my University course.
During her final year of school, Sam decided to get a tutor. Apex were able to organise a fantastic tutor for us on such short notice. Everything was organised within a few days. Emma provided Sam with valuable insights on how to best excel in her final exams. I highly recommend Apex Tuition Australia to any parent seeking extra help for their children.
Rian did much better in mathematics and, for sure, getting a tutor from Apex was was a big part of that. Francesco and Rain got along straight away. He respected him, and looked forward to the sessions. Francesco was patient with Rian and always had the knowledge needed to help Rian improve. I will definitely continue to use Apex for our future tutoring needs.

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:
Further, if you want to purchase a package of lessons, we can give you a discount! For full details, please check out our pricing page.
Most of our tutors are recently graduated high school students who finished in the top 3% of their subjects with a median ATAR of 99.00. 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.
Moreover, we also have tutors as part of our team who are qualified teachers or in the process of becoming a qualified teacher.

Stopping tutoring is super easy. There are no lock-in contracts or extra fees so you can stop whenever you would like. If you do decide to stop, please let us know so that we can update our records.
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.
