One-on-one maths for Australian families from A$16 a class, taught by the same teacher every week — inside our own classroom software, not a video call. Foundation to Year 12, on the Australian Curriculum and your state's syllabus.
The format
Every ClassArc class is one teacher and one student for 55 minutes. Not a small group at a lower rate per head, and not a marketplace where a different tutor turns up each week.
The same teacher stays with your child term after term, which is what stops every lesson beginning with a recap of the last one.
One teacher to one student, every class, with no rotation. No group calls, no rotating tutors.
Affordability
Tutoring only works if it continues. Plenty of Australian families stop not because it was not helping but because the weekly total stopped being realistic, so ClassArc is priced to be sustainable across a whole school year rather than to look good for a term.
Published rates for one-to-one maths tutoring in Australia are commonly quoted between A$55 and A$85 an hour, with online usually A$10 to A$25 below the in-person figure. ClassArc starts at A$16 a class. Those are published ranges rather than a survey we ran, checked in August 2026 — we quote them so you can do the arithmetic yourself.
Affordable does not mean less. Your child gets a full 55 minutes, one-on-one, with the same teacher every week, on their own state's syllabus. There is no joining fee and nothing to buy separately, and any classes you have paid for and not used are refunded.
per 55-minute, one-to-one class. The first class is free and no card is required.
What Australian families get
One national curriculum, eight jurisdictions interpreting it. We ask which state and year group, then teach that version rather than a national average.
No marketplace roulette. The teacher who noticed the problem in week three is the one still working on it in week twelve.
A shared worksheet you both write on, a shared whiteboard, and answers that sync live. Nothing to install.
Curriculum
Australia does have a national curriculum. Australian Curriculum Version 9.0 sets out mathematics from Foundation to Year 10, and it is a genuine rewrite rather than a tidy-up — around a fifth of the content descriptions were removed and several topics now sit at a different year level than parents will remember.
But each state and territory turns that into its own syllabus. New South Wales works from NESA syllabuses, Victoria from the Victorian Curriculum, Queensland from QCAA and Western Australia from SCSA. A Year 8 student in Sydney and a Year 8 student in Melbourne are not always meeting the same topic in the same term.
So we ask which state and which year group before the first class, and teach that. If your school is working from something we cannot follow properly, we will say so rather than teach approximately.
A tutor who does not ask which state you are in is teaching an average of Australia, which is nobody's actual syllabus.
Why we ask firstInside a class
Every class follows the same shape and stays aligned to the unit your child's class is actually working through that fortnight.
A mistake left unexplained becomes a habit. We close the loop before the next unit starts.
Why the loop mattersThe teacher looks at the unit your child's class has reached, so the tutoring runs alongside the school's sequence rather than ahead of or behind it.
Teacher and student write on one sheet simultaneously, so the method is something your child watches being built rather than hears described.
Worked through alone while the teacher reads the working live, interrupting at the step that breaks rather than at the final answer.
Homework matched to that day's class and to the unit coming next, reviewed together at the start of the following lesson.
Years and courses
Our core is Foundation to Year 10 on the Australian Curriculum as your state teaches it. In Years 11 and 12 we support the maths your child is enrolled in, working from their school's course materials.
Senior years
Senior maths in Australia is not one subject. The course a student is enrolled in — Mathematics Advanced, Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, General or Essential — decides what is examined and how, and the names differ by state for courses that overlap heavily in content.
New South Wales is mid-change. NESA's new Mathematics Stage 6 syllabuses reach Year 11 in Term 1 2026 and Year 12 in Term 4 2026, with the 2027 HSC the first examined on them. If your child is in Year 11 now, some of the material and some of the older past papers no longer line up, and it is worth checking that whoever tutors them knows which syllabus they sit under.
We teach senior students from their own school's course outline and assessment schedule rather than from a generic Year 12 plan. Tell us the state and the course name when you book and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.
Methods and Specialist are different subjects, not difficulty settings. The first thing a senior tutor should ask is which one you are actually enrolled in.
Why the course name mattersThe platform
The standard setup for online tutoring is a video call plus a PDF on screen-share. We wrote our own classroom instead, on the view that maths needs a shared page far more than it needs a shared face.
One interactive worksheet with two people writing on it at the same time, a whiteboard alongside for rough working, and answers appearing on both screens as they are typed.
Your child clicks once in a browser and is in the room. No download, no app, no meeting link to hunt for.
A video call shows you a face. A shared worksheet shows you the thinking. Only one of those tells a teacher what to fix.
Why we built our ownTimings
Our teachers are in India, which is behind every Australian time zone, so classes suit Australian afternoons and evenings — after school, before dinner. Early Australian mornings are the one window we cannot cover honestly, so we do not offer them.
You never convert time zones yourself. Class times display in your own time, whether that is AEST, AEDT, ACST or AWST, and WhatsApp reminders arrive 24 hours and 1 hour before each class, also in your time. Daylight saving in the southern states is handled for you — your slot does not move because the clocks did.
Your first class
The first class costs nothing, runs the full 55 minutes and is an actual lesson rather than a consultation. No card is needed to book it.
Before it starts we ask which state, year group and — for senior students — which course. The teacher then spends the class checking your child against that syllabus rather than a general one, usually by starting a little above their current unit and working back until the ground is solid.
By the end you will have watched a real explanation land, or not. What a teacher knows matters; so does whether your child is willing to admit confusion to them. If the pairing is wrong, the second free class is with someone else.
A first class should tell you something. Ours is spent finding the gap, not describing the service.
What the free class is forWhy Australian families choose ClassArc
These are not promises for later. They are how ClassArc already works, for every family on it.
Not a small group priced per head. All fifty-five minutes go to one child, which is the only way the specific stuck thing gets found.
No lottery of tutors and no retelling the backstory every week. One person, who remembers last month.
Taught at a set time, not a library of videos to get through unsupervised. A video cannot notice that your child stopped following ten minutes ago.
One shared sheet, two people writing, a whiteboard next to it. The teacher sees the method being built rather than marking the result.
NSW, Victoria and Queensland each turn the national curriculum into their own syllabus. We ask which state and year group first, then teach that.
From A$16 a class, no joining fee, and we refund whatever class balance is left whenever you decide to stop.
Prices in Australian dollars. Every class is 55 minutes, one-to-one, with the same teacher. First class free, no card required.
Where we teach
If you have moved country, or you are comparing what this costs where you actually live, every market we teach in is below with its own curriculum and its own currency.
Common Core and state standards, K–12
Your province's curriculum, grades 1–12
Australian Curriculum v9.0 and your state's syllabus
NZ Curriculum phases and NCEA, Years 1–13
Same class everywhere: 55 minutes, one-to-one, the same teacher weekly. Only the syllabus and the currency change.

ClassArc is a one-on-one online tutoring service. We provide live, scheduled classes between a teacher and a student, along with homework, feedback, and study support.
Each class is 55 minutes. You can reschedule or cancel a class up to 5 minutes before it starts. If you miss a class without notice, we usually credit it back to your balance and reschedule based on what works for the teacher and student.
The first demo class is free, no card required. After that, plans are billed in advance for the number of classes you choose (8, 24, or ~48). We'll send you a payment link directly once you've picked a plan.
If you want to stop classes at any point, we refund whatever class balance is left on your plan. No questions asked, no friction. Refunds are processed within 7 business days.
We expect students and parents to treat teachers with respect, and teachers to do the same. We reserve the right to end the relationship if classes become unsafe, abusive, or disruptive, with a full refund of any unused balance.
If we update these terms, we'll email you before the changes take effect, so you have time to review them.
For anything, email hello@theclassarc.com.
