These are our main subjects, but we also cover a wide range of other subjects.
Our tried-and-tested offerings include Core and Executive tuition for primary, secondary and VCE students alike.
(Small Group Learning)
Students work in small group classes focused on reinforcing core concepts and introducing content. Sessions are expertly curated to each subject’s specific demands and curriculum and focus on achieving a deep content mastery – because we know that a deep understanding is what’s needed to brilliantly execute those all-too-important Key Subject Skills and Key Subject Knowledge.
(One-on-One Learning)
Students work one-on-one with their Tutor in sessions focused on clarifying concepts they find challenging and receive specialised feedback on completed work to set and achieve their Learner Goals. In the dependable partnerships our students form with their Tutors, students receive mentorship, allowing them to build confidence and thus flourish as independent learners capable of excellence – whatever that looks like for them.
We offer an obligation-free, cost-free onboarding session designed to craft a deep understanding of you or your child’s unique Learner Profile. This personalised session, conveniently bookable HERE, is your chance to share your goals, challenges, and aspirations while allowing us to develop a tailored approach that’s built around your needs as a learner and family.
More than just a first step, this session ensures we’re the right fit for one another. We work with students and families who value learner growth and the benefits that a comprehensive service provides. We bring together our expertise and your dedication to achieve incredible outcomes for you, every time. If you’re ready to take the next step in your learning journey with a service that’s as invested in your success as you are, we invite you to book your onboarding session today.
Our philosophy rests upon three core principles – Clarity, Consistency and Calm. No matter the subject, the year level or the student, we bring these three principles to every single session; every time, without fail. We are sought-after by families and Victoria’s top schools for a reason.
We are not another tutoring agency. We are not a tutor marketplace. We are a boutique, people-focused and family-run business. We focus on building long-term partnerships with our families, working side-by-side with them to achieve learner success, whatever that looks like for each student.
Our Tutoring team is meticulously selected not only for their academic excellence, but for their ability to mentor, guide, and inspire students to unlock their full potential. While our Tutors are highly accomplished learners, they are good people first, and they bring warmth, patience and empathy into every lesson. Mastering content is important, but the real value in a Tutor lies in their ability to make this content clear, engaging and accessible for students. Our Tutors combine the best of people skills and subject knowledge so that our students not only master the content themselves but also feel supported to develop the confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities they need to succeed in their studies and beyond.
At ATAR STAR, people come first. We treat our Tutors like family and extend the same care to the families we support. This means that we invest in our Tutors’ professional development, upskill them in curriculum mapping, assessment design and correction, and regularly check in with our families. This fosters continuous learner growth, reflection and improvement, ensuring every student thrives academically and beyond.
At ATAR STAR TUITION, our approach to matching students with tutors goes beyond a simple pairing based on subject expertise. We believe that successful learning is built on strong relationships, and that’s why we take the time to understand the student as a whole person – their academic needs, learning style, personality, and long-term aspirations.
Every student and family starts their journey with us through a free Onboarding session. This isn’t an administrative step – it’s our opportunity to get to know you and develop an understanding of your Learner Profile, which helps us gain deep insight into:
2. Finding the right Tutor: more than just subject knowledge.
A Tutor isn’t just someone who explains content – they need to be a mentor, motivator and role model. That’s why we go beyond selecting a tutor based on subject expertise. Instead, we carefully match students with tutors who:
3. Ongoing support and adjustments: listening, adapting and prioritising your satisfaction.
We deeply value the trust our families place in us, and we believe that a truly exceptional tutoring experience is built on open communication, responsiveness, and genuine care. We do not just match a student with a tutor and step away. We actively listen to our families, ensuring that both students and parents feel heard, supported, and completely satisfied with their experience.
At ATAR STAR, people come first and that means listening, caring and delivering the highest level of personalised support to ensure every family feels valued, respected and delighted with their journey with us.
We offer comprehensive support across primary, secondary, and VCE subjects. During your onboarding session, we’ll take time to understand your specific subject needs and carefully pair you with a dedicated tutor who will be your consistent learning partner. Our commitment doesn’t end with matching – we maintain active communication and provide ongoing support to ensure you’re getting the guidance you need every step of the way.
At ATAR STAR TUITION, we provide comprehensive academic support across all primary, secondary, and VCE subjects together with scholarship exams and Medical admissions entry, ensuring students receive tailored guidance at every stage of their learning journey. Whether your child needs help with foundational literacy and numeracy skills, subject-specific tutoring in maths, science, English, and humanities, or expert coaching for VCE success, we have the expertise, resources, and personalised approach to support them.
We understand that no two students are the same. That is why during your free onboarding session, we take the time to develop a detailed Learner Profile that helps us understand:
From there, we carefully match you with a dedicated tutor who aligns with your subject requirements, personality, and learning style. Your tutor will become your consistent learning partner, offering both academic expertise and mentorship to help build confidence and success.
At ATAR STAR TUITION, we do not just focus on content mastery. We support students in developing:
Our commitment doesn’t end with the initial tutor pairing. We maintain regular, proactive communication with students and parents to ensure that tutoring sessions remain engaging, productive, and aligned with academic progress. Through our feedback portal, families receive regular updates, and students have ongoing access to their tutor, so they never feel lost or unsupported.
Whether you’re looking for medical admissions support, exam preparation, or subject-specific coaching, ATAR STAR TUITION is here to empower students, unlock potential, and ensure success – whatever that looks like for them.
At ATAR STAR TUITION, we recommend that students attend at least one session per week per subject, with a minimum duration of one hour per session. This ensures that students receive consistent support, structured learning reinforcement, and steady academic progress. However, the ideal frequency of sessions depends on each student’s unique learning needs, subject difficulty, and academic goals.
Minimum of one hour for meaningful learning:
Learning takes time, and a minimum of one hour per week allows students to engage deeply with the material, ask questions, and consolidate their understanding. Anything less may feel rushed and not provide enough opportunity for effective learning.
Regular reinforcement and retention:
Concepts are best retained when revisited consistently. A weekly tutoring session ensures that students do not forget key material, helping them build a strong foundation before new topics are introduced in class.
Tracking progress and adjusting strategies:
Meeting regularly allows tutors to identify knowledge gaps early, adjust lesson plans as needed, and ensure students remain on track. This prevents last-minute cramming before tests and assessments.
Confidence and study discipline:
A structured learning routine helps students develop self-discipline and confidence in their studies. Knowing they have dedicated time each week for tutoring gives them a sense of stability and reduces academic anxiety.
While one session per week per subject is the recommended minimum, some students benefit from additional support, particularly in the following cases:
If you are unsure how many sessions would best support your child, we are always available to provide guidance and create a tailored learning plan that maximises their success
These are testimonials written by our previous students.
As a past year 12 student who was looking to go to university with a strong English score, ATAR STAR and the team helped me achieve this.
Walking into English language classes in year 12, with average and below average scores did have me quite worried. With the help of my tutor I was able to break down concepts to help remember specific metalanguage and techniques that my school did not provide. This meant I was gaining excess knowledge, sophisticated and clear answers to earn full marks in my responses and provide the best writing I could to my school teachers and assessors during exams. I felt confident and prepared going into each SAC and English language exam. It made me feel excited walking into class feeling confident in what I had learnt from ATAR star. Thank you Luca and your amazing team.
A big YES to all students looking for personal, honest and supportive tutoring!! No regrets!

Throughout my daughter’s years of high school English was always her weakest subject. As determined as she was, each and every year she’d start with the drive to succeed only to end up realising her efforts were not paying off; so, before year 12, she had asked/stated she needed a tutor.
Not having a post VCE career path already decided as most students already do added to her worry to succeed as she felt she had no end goal to aim for. So it all relied on each subject’s study score, results scaled up and results scaled down and so the jargon goes, giving her the ATAR that would in turn likely decide her fate for her. As a parent I just wanted her to try her best and somehow enjoy the process but to do that I needed to give her access to more tools and resources to utilise. I wanted her to be able to say at the end of the year she truly tried her best and found enjoyment feeling empowered with knowledge and repeated practice to walk into her exam head held high no matter the outcome.
Luca ensured his tutoring aligned with the specific and new 2024 study design for English Language within the VCE curriculum and assessment requirements. It was a fresh and stressful start for VCE English Language in 2024 as it seems schools and everyone was scrambling to understand this new course. Luca was all over it and had been working on materials for the new course since 2022.
ATAR STAR exceeded both our expectations. This was more than just knowledge and critiques, it was about developing a trust in your tutor with such open communication that in the end she developed a real friendship and felt so supported throughout the entire process.
I have nothing but absolute praise and admiration for Luca and his team at ATAR STAR for taking my glass half empty daughter who thought she’d be lucky to even achieve a study score of 25 or above and be given the opportunity to attend university to not even thinking about that number as she focused on each week’s tasks to build on her skill set.
The belief that Luca had in my daughter was evident in our first communications and he made not just my daughter but also myself feel excited about the challenge ahead with the feeling of success within reach. In all her years of education never has she had a teacher mentor her the way Luca did to bring out in her the confidence to believe in the work she’s able to produce.
I am a big believer that the process is worth more than the outcome because that is where you learn about yourself and discover your strengths and abilities to learn, perform and succeed and then apply these skills in real life settings.
On the day that results were released Luca was the first call she received to see how she went, how she FELT and to say how proud and happy he was for her in that moment…. What more can I say 💕

As a teacher myself, I approached ATAR STAR TUITION with particularly high standards, and they’ve exceeded every single one of them. What immediately struck me was their holistic approach to education – they understand that academic success isn’t just about memorising facts or cramming for tests.
One thing that particularly impressed us is their ability to not just teach students what to learn, but how to learn. The progress tracking they use is sophisticated but accessibility, providing detailed insights into where children are improving, while also celebrating small victories upon the way.
After a year with ATAR STAR TUITION, both my children have developed not just stronger academic skills, but better study habits, improved time management, and most importantly a genuine love for learning.
