RHZ Tutoring is a Melbourne centre that tutors students online across Australia, and Adelaide is one of the places we hear from most. Below: why families in Adelaide use us, what is specific to South Australia (NAPLAN, selective and scholarship testing, and the SACE), how online sessions run and what time they fall in Adelaide, subjects from Prep to Year 12, pricing, practice papers you can download today, and the questions Adelaide parents ask first.
Adelaide is a compact capital with a school system that changed shape in 2022, when Year 7 moved into high school. It has the IGNITE selective program at three public high schools, a large independent and Catholic sector, and the SACE for Years 11 and 12, with a half-hour time difference from Melbourne that is easy to work around.
Start with the curriculum. Every state's Prep to Year 10 maths, English and science syllabus is built on the Australian Curriculum (version 9), and South Australia is no exception, so the content a Year 8 student in Adelaide is doing this term is the content our tutors teach every day. Names differ (Foundation here, Prep there; a NESA or SCSA document rather than a Victorian one) but the sequence does not, and the tutor confirms the school's current unit in the first session.
The second reason is the free online Skills Check, which no local centre in Adelaide offers in this form. It is pitched at the top of the child's year level, drawn from a bank of 5,900 questions across Prep to Year 12, and produces a topic-by-topic report the same day. Instead of an enrolment chat and a generic placement test, you get a specific list: these topics are secure, these are shaky, these earlier-year skills are missing. A tutor then calls you for a free consultation to walk through it, and the first paid session is teaching rather than diagnosing.
Third, convenience without compromise. Families in Adelaide are not short of tutoring options; they are short of time. An online session at 4:30pm needs no pick-up and no parking, the tutor is the same every week, and materials arrive in advance so the hour is spent teaching. Small groups are capped at four and formed by year level, so an Adelaide student works with peers at the same level wherever they happen to live.
Then there is price. Small online groups are from $25 an hour and one-to-one is $35 to $45 an hour depending on year level, the same as our Melbourne families pay, with no lock-in and a free Skills Check and consultation first. We would rather you compare that against what a local centre in Adelaide quotes for the same hour than take our word for it.
Adelaide families mostly use online tutoring for two things: getting a child ready for the earlier Year 7 transition, and finding a specialist for a secondary subject without driving across the city. Both run at the same slots Melbourne students use, thirty minutes later on the Adelaide clock.

Because NAPLAN is set nationally, an Adelaide student in Year 3, 5, 7 or 9 sits precisely the test our Melbourne students sit, in the same March window, on the same screen-based adaptive format. We prepare for it the same way everywhere: a Skills Check to find the domain and the skills that need work, a short program that teaches them, then NAPLAN-style questions to check they have stuck. Writing, where a single task carries the most marks, gets a plan for both the persuasive and the narrative prompt.
South Australia's selective option is the IGNITE program for gifted students, entered by a test in Year 6 for Year 7 entry at Aberfoyle Park High School, Glenunga International High School and The Heights School, alongside special-interest and scholarship entry at other schools. Since 2022 Year 7 has been the first year of high school in SA, so the transition and any selective testing now happen a year earlier than parents who grew up here remember.
Years 11 and 12 in South Australia lead to the SACE: Stage 1 in Year 11 and Stage 2 in Year 12, with school assessment and external assessment (examinations or moderated tasks) in Stage 2 subjects. RHZ tutors the SACE the way we tutor every non-Victorian senior certificate: we support the underlying maths, English and science skills and the study technique a Year 11 or 12 student needs, but we do not claim SACE syllabus or school-assessment expertise. In practice that means a Year 11 student in Adelaide can use us for the algebra, calculus and problem-solving that every senior maths course rests on, the analytical and persuasive writing every senior English course assesses, the chemistry, physics and biology concepts and the way to write a scientific explanation, and the habits of planning, note-making and timed practice. What we will not do is pretend to know your school's assessment program better than the teacher who wrote it.
Our material lines up with what is taught at Adelaide High School, Glenunga International High School, Adelaide Botanic High School and Prince Alfred College and every other school in Adelaide for Prep to Year 10, because all of them plan from the same Australian Curriculum content. Bring the latest school test or assignment to the first session and the tutor will see immediately how the school is assessing.
Sessions run live over video with a tutor based in Melbourne. They are not recorded lessons and not an app: it is the same tutor every week, who knows your child, using the same Skills Check, planning and reporting as our Truganina centre.
Adelaide is 30 minutes behind Melbourne all year: a 4pm session booked in Melbourne time is 3:30pm in Adelaide. Adelaide is on ACST/ACDT, 30 minutes behind Melbourne all year.
| Melbourne slot | Adelaide time |
|---|---|
| Weekday 4pm | 3:30pm |
| Weekday 5pm | 4:30pm |
| Weekday 6pm | 5:30pm |
| Saturday 11am | 10:30am |
No conversion needed: book the after-school slot that suits and it is the same on both clocks. All a student needs is a laptop or tablet with a camera, a stable connection and a quiet spot; for maths, a phone pointed at the page lets the tutor watch the working.
Maths (number, fractions, measurement, problem solving), English (reading, phonics, spelling, grammar and writing), and NAPLAN preparation for Years 3 and 5.
Maths, English and science to the Australian Curriculum, NAPLAN for Years 7 and 9, and preparation for IGNITE.
Skills support in senior maths, English and the sciences, plus study technique and timed practice. We do not claim SACE syllabus or school-assessment expertise; see the South Australia section above.
Small online groups of two to four at the same year level from $25 an hour, or one-to-one from $35 an hour. The same tutor every week, a free Skills Check first and a progress note after every session.
The Skills Check is free, online, and works in Adelaide exactly as it does in Truganina. Your child does 10 to 15 minutes of questions pitched at the top of their year level, drawn from a 5,900-question bank covering Prep to Year 12, and you receive a topic-by-topic report the same day. A tutor then calls you for a free consultation to walk through it. Many families run it in Term 4 to plan the next year, and again before NAPLAN or a selective test.
There is no card and no commitment. If the result shows your child is on track, we will say so; if it shows a gap, we will tell you exactly which topics and suggest a plan.
One-to-one online tutoring is $35–$45 an hour by year level; small online groups of up to four are from $25 an hour. Prices are the same as for families who come to our Melbourne centre; there is no interstate surcharge. Plans are monthly, you choose the number of sessions a week, and you can pause or cancel any time. The Skills Check and the consultation are free.
Our Australian-curriculum practice papers are sold as instant PDF downloads: buy from Adelaide, print at home, and mark against the included answers. They cover primary maths and English, Years 7 to 10 maths, and NAPLAN-style reading, writing and numeracy for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, all of which line up with the South Australia syllabus because they are written to the same Australian Curriculum content. Many families use them alongside tutoring, or on their own between Skills Checks.

For Prep to Year 10, yes in substance: South Australia's syllabus is built on the Australian Curriculum, the same as Victoria's, and our tutors work from the school's current unit. For Years 11 and 12 we are honest: we support the maths, English and science skills and the study technique a SACE student needs, but we do not claim SACE syllabus or school-assessment expertise, and we will say so if a subject is outside what we can help with.
Adelaide is 30 minutes behind Melbourne all year. A 4pm weekday session in Melbourne time is 3:30pm in Adelaide. We book in your local time, confirm the Melbourne equivalent in writing, and adjust automatically when clocks change.
For Prep to Year 10, yes in content and sequence. Each state publishes its own version (NESA syllabuses in New South Wales, the SCSA curriculum in Western Australia, the Victorian Curriculum in Victoria) but all are built on the Australian Curriculum version 9, so a Year 5 child in Adelaide is doing the same fractions, decimals and measurement as a Year 5 child in Melbourne. Years 11 and 12 are where the states genuinely differ.
Yes, for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. NAPLAN is a national test, so an Adelaide student sits exactly the test our Melbourne students sit. Small online groups by year level run from Term 4 to the March test window, built from the Skills Check, and one-to-one is available all year.
Yes. IGNITE testing for Year 7 entry, and the independent-school scholarship tests, assess maths, reading, reasoning and writing above year level. We build the program from a Skills Check and run it online in Adelaide time through Year 5 and Year 6.
The same as in Melbourne: small online groups from $25 an hour and one-to-one $35 to $45 an hour depending on year level. Plans are monthly with no lock-in. The Skills Check and the consultation are free, and there is no interstate surcharge.
