Hoppers Crossing families ask us the same two questions about Online Tutoring: is my child actually behind, and what will you do about it? The first is answered by our free Skills Check, the second by this page. We are a local centre at 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029, rated 5.0 on Google, tutoring Prep to Year 12 in person and online.

How we tutor Online Tutoring (Prep–Year 12)

Online tutoring is not a fallback at RHZ; it is how a large share of our families choose to learn, especially those who are more than fifteen minutes from our Truganina centre or who are juggling several children's activities. It runs live over video with the same tutors who teach in the centre, at the same prices, with the same free Skills Check at the start and the same plain-English progress note after every session.

A good online session looks different from a video call. The tutor and student share a digital whiteboard so working is visible to both, the tutor can see the student write in real time (a phone or document camera pointed at the page works well for maths), and materials are sent in advance so there is no scrambling. For English, the student writes in a shared document and the tutor marks it live. For VCE sciences and maths, worked solutions and calculator screens are shared directly.

Online suits some students better than in person. Students who are shy in a room often participate more from home. Senior students save the travel time and use it for study. Families with a child in Year 3 and another in Year 10 can run both sessions back-to-back without a second trip. And for VCE subjects with few students at a school, like Specialist Maths or Physics, online lets us match the student to the best tutor rather than the nearest.

It does not suit everyone. Very young students (Prep to Year 1) usually do better in person, where the tutor can hear them read and handle counters and cards. Students who are easily distracted at home need a quiet space and a parent nearby for the first few sessions. We will tell you honestly which format we recommend after the Skills Check, and many families mix the two: online during the week, in person before exams.

Practically, all a student needs is a laptop or tablet with a camera, a stable internet connection and a quiet spot. We send a link before each session, keep a record of what was covered, and the tutor can share the session's working with you afterwards. Small-group online sessions are capped at four so every student gets attention.

Online Tutoring tutoring for Hoppers Crossing families

Hoppers Crossing is a mature suburb with a stable set of schools, and a lot of our Hoppers Crossing families come to us by word of mouth from a neighbour or a cousin. Because the centre is only ten minutes up the road, most choose in-person sessions after school and keep the same tutor for years.

From Hoppers Crossing it is about 10 minutes to 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029, via Hoppers Lane or Sayers Road. If getting to Truganina is awkward on a given day, the same session can run online with the same tutor.

Schools our Hoppers Crossing students come from

Students from Hoppers Crossing Secondary College, The Grange P-12 College, Mossfiel Primary School, Bellbridge Primary School and Cambridge Primary School come to us for Online Tutoring, which means the tutor usually recognises the school's sequence and the way it tests.

Families from Truganina, Werribee, Tarneit and Point Cook use the same sessions, and small groups are formed by level, not by suburb. See also our general tutoring page for Hoppers Crossing.

What we tutor online

How it works

1
Free Skills Check. Your child does the free online Skills Check (10–15 minutes) pitched at the top of their year level. You get a topic-by-topic report the same day.
2
Free consultation. We call you for a free consultation, go through the result together and suggest a starting point and a format. Nothing is charged until you decide to go ahead.
3
Targeted sessions. Sessions begin with a matched Online Tutoring tutor who already teaches other Hoppers Crossing students, with a plain-English progress note to you after every session.

Pricing

One-to-one tutoring is $35–$45 an hour depending on the year level; small groups of up to five are from $25 an hour. Plans are monthly, you choose how many sessions a week, and you can cancel any time. The Skills Check and the consultation are free. Online and in-person sessions cost the same.

Frequently asked questions

Is online tutoring as effective as in person?

For most students from Year 3 upwards, yes, provided the session is well run with shared working and materials prepared in advance. For Prep to Year 2 we generally recommend in person.

What equipment do we need?

A laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone, and a stable internet connection. For maths, a phone or document camera pointed at the student's page lets the tutor see the working.

Are online tutors the same as centre tutors?

Yes. Our tutors work both in the centre and online, and the Skills Check, planning and progress notes are identical.

Can we mix online and in-person sessions?

Yes, and many families do: online during the week and in person at the Truganina centre for revision blocks or before exams.

What does online tutoring cost?

The same as in person: small-group sessions from $25 an hour and one-to-one from $35 to $45 an hour depending on year level. The Skills Check and consultation are free.
