Jake Sharrock from KIS has been so amazing to work with this year. He is incredibly knowledgeable about a variety of things and breaks down concepts I have found difficult in a way that is easy for me to understand. He has helped me improve both my chemistry and methods skills, and even when my lesson plans are very vague he always fills every minute with something very worthwhile that I can take away. He is also very flexible with lesson times for anyone who has a jam-packed schedule. I highly recommend Jake!

Let’s be real: the Aussie classroom is a bit of a squeeze these days. With one teacher often looking after thirty different students, it’s easy for your child to get lost in the crowd.
School lessons are great, but they usually follow a "one-size-fits-all" approach. If the teacher's pace doesn't click with how you learn, you can end up feeling completely stumped while the rest of the class moves on.
A private tutor flips the script. Instead of being just another face in the room, you’re the priority. It’s all about one-on-one attention that actually focuses on the bits you find tricky.
Whether you’re in Sydney tackling the HSC or down in Melbourne prepping for VCE, having a mentor who knows the ins and outs of the curriculum makes the world of difference.
The best part about HSC tutors is that they’ve usually been in your shoes pretty recently. They know exactly how the pressure feels and how to manage the workload.
Getting tutoring support doesn't mean you're "behind." It just means you’re being smart about your goals. Even the top students use tutors to stay ahead of the pack and secure those high grades.
From the primary school basics to the final year grind in NSW, private tutors provide a safe space to ask "dumb" questions and get the answers you actually need.
So, if you’re looking to level up your results this year, finding the right fit on KIS Academics is the best way to start. It’s personal, it’s local, and it’s tailored to you.
The main difference between private tutoring and school lessons is that at school, students mostly learn in groups and may not get enough attention from their teachers in Australia.
What's more, the school curriculum may not be suited to a student's learning style or interest and they may struggle to be taken with it.
A private tutor in Sydney, on the other hand, can adapt their tutoring approach to each child's particular needs in Syndey, whether it's HSC maths revision or English essays, and make sure they are learning without stress lesson by lesson during the year.
Then, tutoring lessons are often given on a one-to-one basis, so students can also feel more at ease to actively participatein them without being afraid of making a mistake.
As a result, a student getting tutoring support from private tutors often grows more confident during the school year in NSW and can achieve a high grade in the subject in which they get help in Sydney.
In theory, private tutoring in maths, English, science and other school subjects is a very effective learning format. However, for it to work out really well, students need to learn with the right tutors.
First of all, good private tutors in Sydney must know the school and HSC curriculum in maths, English or another subject they teach to help the student learn relevant skills for their ATAR lesson by lesson.
Secondly, students should ideally feel at ease with their private tutors to be willing to learn Maths, English, science or other high school and HSC subjects with them and enter a university in NSW after school.
Finally, it can be a good idea to find a tutor living not so far from the student's place in order not to waste much time commuting in Sydney or NSW during the school year.
So, searching for tutors in Sydney is not an easy task at all and that's where KIS Academics comes in.
KIS Academics is an online tutoring platform where lots of tutors from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and other cities in Australia offer lessons.
What makes KIS particularly effective to find tutors for yourself or your child is that students can not only search by curriculum, subjects, HSC, VCE, QCE, IB, WACE, SACE, NTCET, TCE, ACT-SSC or university tutors but also get helpful information about them online.
For instance, on tutors' profiles, you can read about the year of students they usually teach in Sydney and NSW, their tutoring experience, methods, university education and many other useful details.
Then, you can also read reviews from other students to find out if a tutor's tutoring lessons are really helpful to improve a school child's ATAR in Australia.
Finally, once you've chosen one of the tutor, you can contact them by filling a form and once you are in touch with them, you can ask them questions and book in-person or online lessons with them.
With KIS, you will not waste precious time looking for tutoring services but will book lessons with the right tutor quickly, so you or your child can start learning and improving your ATAR.
Jake was the perfect tutor for my JMSS entrance exam preparation. His firsthand experience with the exam and his time at the school allowed him to provide clear explanations and expert guidance towards my preparation. With providing assigned homework, such as reading and answering scientific articles, providing valuable KIS resources and consistently giving feedback. As a result, I saw significant improvements in my work after just a few sessions. Would definitely recommend!!
Math Methods was a difficult subject but thanks to Jake Sharrock's help, I was able to improve and make a change in my grades. He is a kind individual who has gone above and beyond to help me and I am truly grateful, taking classes with him has been one of the best choices I have made for my learning.
My son had his first lesson with Jake Jordan Sharrock today and it was amazing. Jake was able to cover and explain many aspects of what my son needs help with. Basically everything he needs to revise before his first Nap-plan English test. Thank you Jake 🙏🏼...
Over the past couple of years, I have had the privilege to work with three AMAZING tutors - Brianna Munns, Liv Branagan, and Jake Sharrock. And amazing is an understatement. If it weren't for their ongoing guidance I don't know where I'd be now! When Liv was away this year, I was in search of another tutor who would temporarily take her place, and stumbled upon Jake. But it turned out quite the opposite of temporary because I was so eager to keep doing lessons with him! Jake is incredibly knowledgeable about a variety of concepts and breaks them down in a way that is easy to understand. He has helped me improve both my chemistry and methods skills, and even when my lesson plans are very vague he always fills every minute with something very worthwhile. I am beyond thankful to all three of my tutors and I am grateful to KIS for providing a gateway to access the most amazing tutors. I can't recommend them three enough!
