RHZ Tutoring is a Melbourne centre that tutors students online across Australia, and Albury-Wodonga is one of the places we hear from most. Below: why families in Albury-Wodonga use us, what is specific to New South Wales (NAPLAN, selective and scholarship testing, and the HSC), how online sessions run and what time they fall in Albury-Wodonga, subjects from Prep to Year 12, pricing, practice papers you can download today, and the questions Albury-Wodonga parents ask first.
Albury-Wodonga is one city on two sides of the Murray and two school systems: Albury students sit the HSC under NSW syllabuses, Wodonga students sit the VCE, and families move between the two more often than outsiders expect. Prep to Year 10 is the same Australian Curriculum on both banks, which is why cross-border families find our tutoring straightforward.
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 New South Wales is no exception, so the content a Year 8 student in Albury-Wodonga 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 Albury-Wodonga 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, and for Albury-Wodonga families often first: access. A Year 10 student who needs help with science, or a Year 5 student who needs a literacy specialist, should not be limited by which tutors happen to live within driving distance. Online sessions give a child in Albury-Wodonga the same tutor a Melbourne child gets, matched by subject and level rather than by postcode, with no travel time on either side.
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 Albury-Wodonga quotes for the same hour than take our word for it.
Online tutoring suits the border because the tutor works from the child's actual year level and curriculum, whichever side of the river the school is on, and sessions run at the same after-school slots Melbourne students use, on the same clock.

Because NAPLAN is set nationally, an Albury-Wodonga 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.
New South Wales runs the most competitive selective-school system in the country. The Selective High School Placement Test is sat in Year 6 for entry to Year 7 at fully and partially selective high schools, and the Opportunity Class (OC) Placement Test is sat in Year 4 for Years 5 and 6 opportunity classes. Both assess reading, mathematical reasoning, thinking skills and writing at a level above the classroom, so preparation really means being a year ahead in maths and English and writing well under time. That is what our selective and scholarship program builds, and it runs online for NSW students on the same timeline as our Melbourne students.
Years 11 and 12 in New South Wales follow NESA syllabuses (Mathematics Standard, Advanced and Extension; English Standard, Advanced and Extension; the separate sciences), with school-based assessment feeding into the HSC examinations. RHZ tutors the HSC 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 HSC syllabus or school-assessment expertise. In practice that means a Year 11 student in Albury-Wodonga 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. On the Wodonga side of the river the picture is different: Victorian students sit the VCE, which we tutor fully, subject by subject, to the current VCAA study designs.
Our material lines up with what is taught at Albury High School, Xavier High School, Wodonga Senior Secondary College and The Scots School Albury and every other school in Albury-Wodonga 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.
Albury-Wodonga is the same time as Melbourne all year: a 4pm session booked in Melbourne time is 4pm in Albury-Wodonga. Albury-Wodonga is on AEST/AEDT, the same clock as Melbourne all year.
| Melbourne slot | Albury-Wodonga time |
|---|---|
| Weekday 4pm | 4pm |
| Weekday 5pm | 5pm |
| Weekday 6pm | 6pm |
| Saturday 10am | 10am |
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 the selective and OC tests.
Skills support in senior maths, English and the sciences, plus study technique and timed practice. We do not claim HSC syllabus or school-assessment expertise; see the New South Wales 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 Albury-Wodonga 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 Albury-Wodonga, 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 New South Wales 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: New South Wales'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 HSC student needs, but we do not claim HSC syllabus or school-assessment expertise, and we will say so if a subject is outside what we can help with. Wodonga students sitting the VCE get our full VCE tutoring.
Albury-Wodonga is the same time as Melbourne all year. A 4pm weekday session in Melbourne time is 4pm in Albury-Wodonga. 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 Albury-Wodonga 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 Albury-Wodonga 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. The Opportunity Class test in Year 4 and the Selective High School Placement Test in Year 6 assess reading, mathematical reasoning, thinking skills and writing above year level. We start with a Skills Check, then build a program of above-level maths and English, reasoning practice and timed writing, online in small groups or one-to-one, on the same timeline our Melbourne selective students use.
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.
