If you are looking for an online maths tutor, English tutor or NAPLAN tutor in Hobart, this page explains how RHZ Tutoring works for Tasmania families: what we teach and why it lines up with Tasmania schools, how sessions run in Hobart time, what we can and cannot honestly help with in Years 11 and 12, what it costs, and how the free Skills Check works. RHZ is a small Melbourne tutoring centre in Truganina, rated 5.0 on Google from 34 reviews, and it tutors online in every state and territory.
Hobart is a small capital with a distinctive school structure: most students still move from a high school to a senior college (Hobart, Elizabeth or Rosny College) for Years 11 and 12, and the TCE is assessed by TASC. Tutoring options are concentrated in the inner suburbs and the eastern shore, and thin out fast beyond Kingston and Glenorchy.
The first reason is that the curriculum is national. Prep to Year 10 maths, English and science in Tasmania follow a syllabus built on the Australian Curriculum (version 9), the same document Victoria's curriculum and every other state's is built on. The strands, the content and the order are the same: fractions in Year 3, algebra from Year 7, quadratics in Year 10. A tutor in Melbourne can plan a session for a child in Hobart and be confident it lines up with the school, and the tutor checks the school's current unit in the first session so nothing is out of step.
The second is diagnosis. Before anyone is charged anything, the child does the free online Skills Check: 10 to 15 minutes pitched at the top of their year level, from a 5,900-question bank covering Prep to Year 12, with a same-day topic-by-topic report. Families in Hobart tell us it is the first time anyone has shown them exactly where the gaps are rather than telling them the child is 'a bit behind'. A tutor walks you through the result in a free consultation and the plan is built from it.
The third reason is practical. Hobart has plenty of tutoring centres, and most of them involve a drive at the worst time of day, a fixed timetable and a waiting list for the good tutors. Online sessions run at the kitchen table at a slot that fits after school or sport, with the same tutor every week, and a small online group is formed by year level and need rather than by whoever walked into a particular centre that term.
Finally, cost. Because sessions are online and our overheads are one small centre in Melbourne, small groups are from $25 an hour and one-to-one $35 to $45 an hour for families in Hobart, with monthly plans you can pause or cancel. Compare that with a local quote for an hour of one-to-one tutoring; the difference usually covers a second subject.
Hobart is on the same clock as Melbourne all year, so a Hobart family simply books the after-school slot that suits and gets a tutor who teaches that subject every day, no matter which side of the Derwent they live on.

NAPLAN is the same test in Hobart as in Melbourne: the same online, adaptive Reading, Writing, Conventions of Language and Numeracy tests, sat in March by every Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 student in Australia, reported in the same four proficiency levels. Our NAPLAN preparation runs online in small groups by year level from Term 4 through to the test window, built from the Skills Check rather than from endless practice tests, and it is exactly the preparation a Hobart child needs because it is exactly the test they will sit.
Tasmania has no selective-entry test. The distinctive feature of Tasmanian schooling is that Years 11 and 12 have traditionally been taught at separate senior colleges, with most high schools now extending to Year 12, so the move at the end of Year 10 is a real transition and the independent schools run their own scholarship tests in the upper primary years.
Years 11 and 12 in Tasmania lead to the TCE, with Level 3 and 4 courses assessed by the school and by external examinations under TASC. RHZ tutors the TCE 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 TCE syllabus or school-assessment expertise. In practice that means a Year 11 student in Hobart 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.
Whether your child is at Hobart College, Elizabeth College and The Hutchins School or any other school in Hobart, the Prep to Year 10 content is the same Australian Curriculum our tutors teach from, and the tutor works from the school's current unit and the Skills Check result rather than from a generic program. We are independent of every school.
Every session is a live video lesson with a Melbourne-based tutor who works with your child each week. Nothing is pre-recorded, and the tutor, the Skills Check and the progress notes are identical to what a family who walks into our Truganina centre gets.
Hobart is the same time as Melbourne all year: a 4pm session booked in Melbourne time is 4pm in Hobart. Hobart is on AEST/AEDT, the same clock as Melbourne all year.
| Melbourne slot | Hobart 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 scholarship and selective-entry tests.
Skills support in senior maths, English and the sciences, plus study technique and timed practice. We do not claim TCE syllabus or school-assessment expertise; see the Tasmania 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.
For a family in Hobart the free Skills Check does three jobs. It shows where your child sits against their year level, topic by topic, in a way a school report never quite does. It gives the tutor a starting point, so the first paid session is teaching rather than diagnosing. And repeated once a year it becomes a benchmark between NAPLAN years: you can see whether the child is holding their year level, drifting, or pulling ahead.
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.
Small online groups (two to four students at the same year level) are from $25 an hour. One-to-one sessions are $35 to $45 an hour depending on year level, with senior students at the top of the range. 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 Hobart, 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 Tasmania 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: Tasmania'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 TCE student needs, but we do not claim TCE syllabus or school-assessment expertise, and we will say so if a subject is outside what we can help with.
Hobart is the same time as Melbourne all year. A 4pm weekday session in Melbourne time is 4pm in Hobart. 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 Hobart 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 a Hobart 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. Tasmania has no selective-entry test, but the independent schools run scholarship tests, usually in Year 6, that assess maths and reading above year level, reasoning and timed writing. We prepare for those online, built from a Skills Check.
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.
