Our History

North Shore Tutors was founded in 2017 after many years of collective experience across one-on-one tutoring, small-group programs, online lessons, and teaching in primary, secondary, and tertiary settings. Throughout this work, a consistent issue became clear: families needed meaningful academic support to complement the education system, yet the tutoring industry often lacked consistent quality standards.

North Shore Tutors was established to provide a higher-standard tutoring service across Sydney, with a focus on personalised support that genuinely matches each student. Tutoring should do more than simply “cover content”; it should build understanding, confidence, and long-term momentum. The organisation’s approach begins with a detailed pairing process, carefully considering each student’s goals, learning style, school context, and personality before matching them with an appropriate tutor.

Tutors are selected not only for academic results, but also for character and communication skills. They receive structured training, tutoring certification, and access to a growing bank of high-quality resources drawn from numerous Sydney schools. The organisation emphasises rapport as the foundation of effective learning. When students feel understood, they participate more actively, take intellectual risks, and progress more quickly.

Since its establishment, North Shore Tutors has supported more than 1,000 families across Sydney. The organisation has helped students strengthen core skills, improve assessment performance, and develop study habits that extend well beyond the next exam. Families seeking high-quality tutoring with careful matching, structured training, and tailored support can expect a consistent, professional service.


Our Mission

To reinvent the tutoring space through a personalised pairing process and tailored sessions delivered by trained mentors.

What sets us apart?

What truly sets North Shore Tutors apart is the system behind every session. We don’t just “find a tutor” — we develop them. Every tutor completes formal training and tutor certification to ensure they can teach effectively (not just know the content), communicate clearly, and build confidence and rapport with students.

Our tutors are supported with a huge, ever-growing database of high-quality resources, lesson materials, and practice questions, so families aren’t relying on whatever a tutor happens to have on hand. This also means sessions stay structured, efficient, and aligned to the student’s goals — whether that’s building foundational skills, lifting grades, or preparing for exams.

Beyond onboarding, we provide ongoing guidance and support to tutors so quality stays consistent over time. Tutors aren’t left to figure things out alone, they have clear expectations, proven session structures, and access to help whenever they need it. The result is a more reliable experience for parents and a higher standard of tutoring for students.
