What if my child doesn't click with the tutor?

This is the number one concern parents have and we've built our entire model around it. Your first lesson is covered by our First Lesson Guarantee. If it's not the right fit, you pay nothing and we'll match you with a different tutor at no cost, or you simply don't continue.

How quickly can we get started?

Most families are matched with the right tutor within 48-72 hours. Your first lesson can usually happen within the same week.

How do you track and report on my child's progress?

Your tutor sends you a written summary after every single lesson covering what was worked on, how your child responded, and what is planned next. Every 10 lessons you receive a detailed progress report.

When is the best time to start tutoring?

There is no wrong time to start. Some families come to us when they notice their child falling behind, others start early to build a strong foundation before things get difficult.

Will my child be assessed or tested?

There's no formal test or intimidating assessment. Your tutor will naturally gauge your child's level during the first session through conversation and light exercises.

Are there contracts or upfront payments?

No. There are no contracts, no lock-in periods, no minimum lesson commitments and no upfront fees. We charge your card 24 hours after each lesson on a simple pay-as-you-go basis.

Does my child actually need a tutor?

Tutoring is not just for students who are falling behind. Many of the highest-performing students in the country work with a private tutor behind the scenes.

How long are lessons and how often should they happen?

Most primary school students see the best results with 1-hour weekly sessions. High school students typically do 1.5 hours. For Year 11-12 students, many families choose twice a week.

Will the tutor provide worksheets and study materials?

Yes. Your tutor has access to a library of over 7,000 resources covering every year level and subject, including worksheets, practice papers, past exams and study materials.

Is the first lesson free?

The first lesson isn't free, but it is completely risk-free. It's covered by our First Lesson Guarantee which means if you aren't happy after the first session, you don't pay a cent.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have only be doing NextStepAcademy approximately 3 weeks. The services of Tristan with NextStepAcademy has been amazing, especially his high work efficiency are pretty impressive to be able to match us such a quality tutor for our son in a short period of time to the criteria we requested. I am very happy with their services and more importantly is my son really enjoys the session and engaged with his tutor at the moment which is absolutely a positive start. I would highly recommend NextStepAcademy to anyone looking for quality tutoring centre.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tristan from NextStepAcademy has genuinely been life changing for our 14 year old son. He has always struggled with Maths and English, and with that came a lot of academic anxiety and loss of confidence. In just four weeks, the transformation has been incredible.

Our son has gone from feeling overwhelmed and anxious about schoolwork to enjoying studying, feeling confident, and even helping some of his own mates along the way. His self belief has grown immensely, and that alone has made such a difference at home and at school.

We have tried many different tutoring formats over the years, and this is by far the best fit for our family. Tristan is more than a tutor, he is a true mentor. He provides perspective on what lies ahead in the coming years, while also teaching kids how to be kind and patient with themselves during the learning process.

Five stars not only for the thoughtful way Tristan plans his sessions, but for how brilliantly he executes them. We are incredibly grateful and could not recommend NextStepAcademy more highly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Next step academy is an incredible way to assist your child with any extra help they may need within their learning. My 14 year old son has had some learning difficulties over his schooling career and as a result had fallen behind. Next step was understanding, accommodating and helpful with what I wanted. In a very short space of time I had my son into tutoring with one of their highly talented tutors, Tristan. After these lessons my son has managed to get back on top of his schooling and even find a bit of joy in what he does. Could not recommend them enough!
