Many parents tell us the same thing: they want to help their child with maths, but the thought of paying for tutoring every week, indefinitely, feels impossible. They feel stuck between their child's needs and the family budget.
That feeling is completely understandable, and it's worth thinking about what makes maths support good value over time.
Why support can feel like it has no end in sight
When support is built around whatever homework is due each week, it can be hard to tell when the underlying problem has been fixed. Without a clear goal or finish line, there's no natural point to say "we've got there," so sessions, and costs, can simply continue.
What to look for instead
- A defined timeframe. A program with a clear start and finish.
- A clear goal. Something specific you can measure, like a grade improvement.
- Weekly measurement. Regular tests so you can see whether it's working, not just hope.
- Skills that transfer. Teaching students how to think through problems, so they need less help over time, not more.
- Accountability. A clear answer to what happens if results don't improve.
Small classes can be great value
One-on-one support can be fantastic, and it's usually the most expensive option. Small classes with an experienced teacher, plus personal support, give students expert teaching, the chance to learn from peers and individual help when they need it, usually at a lower weekly cost.
How the Maths Accelerator approaches it
Our 10-week Maths Accelerator Program runs in small classes of around four to five students, with weekly assignments and tests and personal support between lessons. Prices start from $80 a week plus GST, you can pay monthly or by the term, and our full grade guarantee means that if your child does the work and doesn't improve a full grade, we keep teaching them for free until they do.
If cost has been holding you back, book a free call. We'll talk through your child's needs and whether the Accelerator is the right fit, with no pressure.
Our small-group online maths classes combine live teaching, weekly testing and individual support, backed by a full grade guarantee.
