Our Year 8 Science tutors focus on helping students achieve key outcomes, such as understanding the functions of cells, explaining the processes that shape Earth’s surface, and exploring the transfer and transformation of energy. We guide students in planning and conducting investigations, analyzing data, and using models to explain scientific phenomena. Our goal is to support students in developing critical thinking skills and communicating their findings with precision.
Biological Sciences:
Students explore how cells function as the basic building blocks of living things, examining specialized structures and their roles. Our tutors guide them in comparing plant and animal cells, understanding the relationship between structure and function in organs, and exploring how body systems interact to support life.
Earth and Space Sciences:
Students investigate tectonic processes, such as the movements of Earth’s plates, and explore the formation of geological features. Our tutors help them understand the evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics, analyze patterns in seismic and volcanic activity, and explain how these processes shape the Earth's surface over time.
Physical Sciences:
Students learn to classify types of energy as kinetic or potential and study how energy transfers and transforms in systems. Our tutors guide them in understanding how forces interact with energy, using models and experiments to explore concepts like gravity, friction, and heat energy.
Chemical Sciences:
Students classify matter as elements, compounds, or mixtures and learn to distinguish between physical and chemical changes. Our tutors support them in exploring chemical reactions, identifying indicators of change, and understanding how substances interact to form new materials.
Science as a Human Endeavour:
Students analyze how scientific knowledge evolves and how it can be applied to solve real-world problems, from environmental management to technological innovations. Our tutors provide examples of scientific advances and their societal impact, encouraging students to think critically about the role of science in their lives.
Science Inquiry:
Our tutors encourage students to develop investigable questions, conduct experiments, and analyze data for patterns and trends. They guide students in using digital tools, constructing graphs, and evaluating the reliability of their results, helping them build a robust understanding of the scientific method.

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.
