Live one-on-one maths for Australian families from A$16 a class, billed in Australian dollars. Every class is a full 55 minutes with the same teacher every week. The first one is free and needs no card.
Prices in Australian dollars. Every class is 55 minutes, one-to-one, with the same teacher. First class free, no card required.
What the price includes
Every item below applies to every ClassArc class, on every plan, whatever you are paying.
Prices above are per class in Australian dollars. New Zealand families can see pricing in New Zealand dollars, and US pricing is on our main pricing page.
The market
Published rates for one-to-one maths tutoring in Australia are commonly quoted between A$55 and A$85 an hour. The Australian Tutoring Association's national average has been reported at around A$64, certified teachers are generally quoted higher again, and senior ATAR subjects usually carry a premium on top. Online tuition is typically quoted A$10 to A$25 below the in-person figure.
ClassArc starts at A$16 a class on the Committed plan and A$20 on Starter, for Foundation to Year 8. Years 9 to 12 run from A$21.50.
Those market figures are published ranges collected from public rate guides and re-checked in August 2026, not a survey we ran. We quote them so you can do the arithmetic yourself rather than take a characterisation from us.
We would rather show you the range and our number than tell you what to conclude from them.
Why we publish the comparisonWhy it costs what it costs
The honest reason a full 55-minute one-to-one class can be A$16 is that ClassArc's teachers live and work in India, where a good teaching salary costs a great deal less than it does in Sydney or Melbourne. We are not undercutting Australian tutors by paying our own people badly.
We do not simply run the US price through an exchange rate either. The Australian figures are set against what Australian families are actually quoted locally, which is why they come out below a straight conversion rather than above it.
What it does not mean is a cheaper lesson. Same 55 minutes, same one-to-one format, same teacher every week, same classroom software, and the same insistence on teaching your child's actual syllabus rather than a generic one.
What we teach
Our core is Foundation to Year 10 on the Australian Curriculum as your state teaches it. In the senior years we work from your child's own course outline.
Who this suits
Six things that describe every ClassArc class, so you can tell quickly whether this is the shape of tutoring you want.
A price that still makes sense in month nine, not just in the first fortnight. That is what makes tutoring work at all.
The same person every week, who remembers what was hard in March and can tell you whether it is still hard in June.
NSW, Victoria and Queensland each turn the national curriculum into their own. We ask which before we teach anything.
Scheduled classes with a plan, rather than an on-demand chat window for whenever homework goes wrong.
A free 55-minute first class in the real classroom, with no card and no obligation.
No lock-in and no notice period. We refund whatever class balance is left the day you decide to stop.
Before you pay anything
You do not pay to find out whether this fits. The first class is a full lesson and costs nothing.
And, for Years 11 and 12, the course name. It takes a minute and it is what lets the teacher prepare properly.
Australian afternoons and evenings, shown in your own time zone. No card is required to book.
Not a sales call. The teacher spends it finding where your child actually is against their syllabus.
We tell you what we found. If the teacher was not the right match, the second free class is with a different one.

When you book a demo or sign up for classes, we collect your name, your child's name, email, WhatsApp number, time zone, and the grade you're inquiring about. That's it. We don't ask for or store any payment details on this website. We don't use trackers, cookies for advertising, or third-party analytics that profile you.
Only to schedule and run your classes, send you class reminders, share homework and progress, and answer your questions. We'll reach out by email or WhatsApp, depending on what you tell us works better for you.
Your teacher, and the small team supporting them at ClassArc. We never sell, rent, or share your information with anyone outside ClassArc. We use Formspree to receive form submissions, and standard email and WhatsApp for messaging, nothing else.
We treat any information about your child with extra care. We only collect what we need to teach them well, such as their grade and what they're working on. We never use a child's photo, name, or work in any marketing without the parent's explicit written permission.
You can ask us to show you what we have on file, correct anything inaccurate, or delete your data entirely, at any time. Just email hello@theclassarc.com and we'll handle it within a few days.

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.
