Why Melbourne Tutorials
To become academic achievers, children need an environment that is developmentally challenging and interesting, an environment that motivates them to assume ownership of their studies. That is the key to becoming successful learners.
Melbourne Tutorials specialises in tutoring, coaching and mentoring students from Grade 1 to Year 9.
We offer group and individualised support to students for academic excellence. Our classes include preparing for NAPLAN and ICAS, entrance exams of the immensely competitive SEAL and Scholarship programs, and the highly sought after Selective Entry schools of Victoria.
Our teachers are qualified, experienced professionals rather than school or university students, and every one of them holds a current Working With Children Check.
What We Offer
Our classes, broadly categorised as Accelerated, Advanced and Basic, aim at providing students with a stimulating and challenging learning environment well beyond the expected levels at school. Our teaching model, right from Grade 1, is based on the Selective Entry model, as we strongly believe that academic excellence in children can be nurtured with the right guidance at the right age.
We believe in establishing strong, professional relationships with our students and their parents, and we strive to challenge, motivate and achieve the learning goals we set together.
Every class is taught by a qualified, experienced teacher, and students are placed in academically compatible groups so the pace of the room stretches everyone in it.

Testimonials
Melbourne Tutorials is an amazing tutoring centre. Their teachers provide the best learning for students to study and learn how to tackle academic questions in an innovative manner. They gave my daughter so much motivation for her future and, thanks to them and their hard work, she was accepted into a selective school. Melbourne Tutorials truly is the best tutoring place for any student's success.
Melbourne Tutorials has provided my child with an abundance of resources to help her extend her knowledge for the selective entry exam. All teachers explain concepts very well and give students tips on how to do better in both exams and learning in general. The guidance of Mr Akash, Mr Rudraksh and Ms Umang has helped my child successfully gain admission into Mac.Robertson.
Highly recommended. My daughter secured a position in a selective school and it would not have been possible without the support of the teachers from Melbourne Tutorials. They were very supportive throughout her journey. I cannot thank them enough.
Melbourne Tutorials provide quality tutoring with a very dedicated and experienced team of tutors. My son enrolled for selective school exam coaching. He was guided well with great tips and techniques, which helped him achieve his goal of receiving a first round offer from Suzanne Cory. They provided good quality learning materials and an online portal with plenty of practice tests. The mock tests helped my son boost his confidence. I am more than happy to recommend Melbourne Tutorials for their dedication and quality tutoring. Thank you so much Mr Akash and your lovely team of tutors.
Mr Akash and team have designed a fantastic course to prepare students for select entry competitive exams. These courses challenge the students and bring out the best in them. Our experience with Melbourne Tutorials is a memorable one, and we would strongly vouch for all parents who are considering select entry or JMSS entrance tests to discuss their plans with Mr Akash's team and to consider enrolling. They are doing a great job, keep it up!
I am truly grateful to Melbourne Tutorials. Both of my sons have thrived under their coaching, benefiting from the exceptional care, meticulous attention to detail, and dedicated guidance provided by all the teachers. They are truly committed to nurturing future leaders. My elder son attended the centre for four years, spending two of those years preparing for scholarship exams. Thanks to the outstanding guidance he received and his own hard work, he was accepted into Melbourne High. My younger son is now following in his brother's footsteps, preparing with the same dedicated team. We are deeply grateful to all the teachers for their genuine interest in helping our children become the best versions of themselves. Highly recommended!
Special thanks to all the teachers for shaping the right future for all the children. Your work is always commendable. Melbourne Tutorials is the best tutoring centre for my kids.
Great experience. My son attended Melbourne Tutorials for the Victorian selective entry exams for Year 9 entry. He felt comfortable and safe voicing his concerns and admitting when he got stuck. Mr Akashdeep provides a warm, customised environment for every student and family. His communication is clear and precise, and his guidance is helpful to say the least. I would also thank him for recognising the successful candidates by holding a felicitation evening, calling them on stage and presenting them with trophies and gift cards. I would highly recommend.
Melbourne Tutorials has been a great help for Yash. They give plenty of time to understand and enough practice so the fundamentals are inculcated. This is a great support for students who want to achieve more than they think they can. I recommend Melbourne Tutorials one hundred per cent.
Melbourne Tutorials is a remarkable institute that has played a big part in securing a seat for my son in one of the selective entry schools. The institute really caters to the needs of each student, and the teachers make this true by providing personalised teaching methods for every one of them. Their materials, such as worksheets and practice tests, and their ProProfs portal were really helpful, as he got the practice he needed. They played a major role in preparing my son for the selective entry test, tracking his progress and providing constructive feedback throughout. I highly recommend Melbourne Tutorials for anyone looking to enrol their children for selective entry or other competitive exams, or for anyone who wants to go the extra mile and prove their high ability in academics.
Melbourne Tutorials is run by wonderful professionals who are national award winners and selective entry alumni. As Priscilla's mother, I want to acknowledge the entire team for being so kind and courteous and for helping her come out of her shell. She was a bit hesitant before the first class, but she now looks forward to packing her bag and getting into the car for our weekly drive to Melbourne Tutorials. She also enjoys reading the interactive boards and posters while she waits after class. Due to the nature of my work we have lived in many countries over the years, and Priscilla was seriously beginning to fall behind. We also come from an Asian background, and English is not our first language. I am happy to say that the tutors have brought about a drastic change in her, and her teachers are raving about her transformation. She has been attending Melbourne Tutorials for three years now, and will continue to do so. Thank you so very much, team.
My daughter got selected in the selective entry exam this year. She will attend Mac.Robertson Girls' High School in Year 9. We are grateful to Melbourne Tutorials for this success. The classes and the practice tests gave my daughter the necessary learning environment to be successful. Thanks and best wishes.
Thanks to Melbourne Tutorials, my son realised his dream of joining Melbourne High School, the most prestigious school for boys. The teachers are extremely competent and have a clear understanding of the exam process. The resources are quite elaborate and all the topics are covered in a methodical way. I would recommend Melbourne Tutorials to anyone who wants to be successful in studies.
Melbourne Tutorials is an amazing institute which enabled my son to achieve his goal and get a seat at Suzanne Cory. My son went there from Year 7 and he told me that all his basics and fundamentals came from this tutoring centre. He enjoyed the education and the way of teaching at Melbourne Tutorials. The amount of support we received during COVID-19 is not expressible in words. The teachers gave us support, motivation and guidance throughout our journey. We received innumerable tests and practice exams which boosted my son's confidence. I would definitely recommend it to any student who is after an enriching academic experience. Thanks Mr Akash for your helpful nature, we are very glad that we met you.
My daughter started attending Melbourne Tutorials in Grade 2 and now she is in Grade 5. The environment is very favourable to learning, as my child has secured the highest possible results in NAPLAN. The teachers are quite supportive and my daughter loves attending the weekly classes and completing her homework.
Melbourne Tutorials took my daughter far up the stairs of success and made her strive for excellence. My daughter, Amitojdeep Kaur, received a first round selection to Suzanne Cory in the 2020 examination. She came from a public school and now sits among students of the highest calibre, full of dedication to be the best. This was only possible due to the extraordinary efforts the teachers of Melbourne Tutorials put in for my daughter and the students working alongside her. After every class she told me multiple things she had learnt and shared how thoroughly she was taught every topic. The teachers took extra time to explain things she did not understand, and her emails full of questions were answered immediately with supportive and helpful answers. Based on my experience and those of other parents, I highly recommend Melbourne Tutorials.
I really appreciate how hard you all work as a team to meet the students' needs. It has made all the difference in my daughter's academic journey. At this time last year, in Grade 7, I was worried about her stagnant progress academically and wondered whether she would ever be able to secure a place at a selective entry high school. Everything changed almost immediately once she began her classes at Melbourne Tutorials, and I am sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that she would not have been offered an interview, and subsequently a place, at Suzanne Cory without your consistent support and encouragement. You were with us every step of the way. My daughter enjoyed working with you tremendously and learnt a lot.
Firstly, I would like to congratulate Melbourne Tutorials as a business. I found every contact I had with your team to be exceedingly positive. Before contacting Melbourne Tutorials I had tried several other services, but my experience here has been a breath of fresh air which truly stands out amongst the rest. The tutors are extremely knowledgeable and have specialised subject experience. As for my son's results in Year 8, I am eternally grateful that the services provided by Melbourne Tutorials have made a big difference for him. His teachers are pleasantly surprised with the progress he has made in such a short duration of time. We will happily recommend your business to others.
The teachers at Melbourne Tutorials quickly assessed the situation and helped my son identify his weak areas. After only a few sessions, my son's literacy and numeracy skills improved dramatically. Eventually there was such a stark difference in my son's level compared to what it had been prior to using your services that he was awarded for his academic achievements by his school in Year 10. We are very proud parents and are impressed with the teachers' level of knowledge and professionalism at Melbourne Tutorials. We are very appreciative of the high quality tutors you employ.
After less than stellar mid term results in Grade 6, we enrolled our daughter at Melbourne Tutorials, hoping to build her academic skills before the end of year exams. Within a few weeks she was gaining confidence as the teachers patiently and tirelessly worked with her to brush up the basics and bring her up to the same level as her peers.
Melbourne Tutorials were extremely helpful in ensuring that I achieved my goal of getting into the top school in Melbourne, and I gained a lot of foundational knowledge for my future schooling. When I needed help with my application process they helped me so much, despite the fact that they had no obligation to. They truly care about the results and achievements of their students. Their small class sizes allow for great one on one support and they are always extremely happy to give feedback to both parents and students. I would recommend this institution one hundred per cent.
Melbourne Tutorials has been an amazing experience for my child. Their fantastic team has gone above and beyond for him, and as a result my child's skills have developed gradually. I am a highly impressed parent and grateful for all that they have done for my child's education.
Such a wonderful academic experience. Very professional, good management and appreciable guidance. If you have the opportunity to choose an excellent institution, I must say that Melbourne Tutorials should be your number one choice.
Very impressive quality education provided by Melbourne Tutorials, especially in this lockdown situation, for my kids.
