Our In-Home Tutors are more than just high achievers...

They know the ins and outs of your curriculum, and they care about your success...
...just as much as you do!

In-home tutors for those of you who want help to come to you 🦸

Let's be real, after 2 years of constant lockdowns, we're all craving some in-person real life interaction. If you've decided that online tutoring isn't for you, that's okay. Now that COVID is slowly going away, in-person tutoring is a great option again!

‍

In-home tutoring allows students who may not engage well online to get some one-to-one help from someone sitting right in front of them (literally!). Here are some things to consider when choosing in-home tutoring:

‍

Location, location, location 🗺

Where you hold tutoring sessions can be a real hassle to organise, so it's important you know the options available to you. Some tutors are happy to do home visits and come to your house to hold lessons. This ensures you can be tutored in the comfort of your own home while still getting that face-to-face engagement. Some in-home tutors will request a travel fee if you live further away and need them to travel to you. This is only fair as it takes up their valuable time, effort and also petrol money!

Another option is going to the tutor's location. This could be their house, a public place or a library. This might take a bit of travel time on your part, but if you don't want to do online lessons, then the travel will be worth it to see your tutor in-person!

Finally, if you live a bit further apart, finding a middle ground is a great option! Libraries, schools and university campuses are excellent locations to hold lessons. You've got desks and study spaces, printers, powerpoints to charge your laptop and speedy wifi. These locations are great for tutoring and allow both you and the tutor to find a convenient location that works well for everyone.

‍

Resources 📚

Make sure to be proactive when it comes to preparing for lessons with your in-person tutor. Organising your notes and school work takes a bit of extra effort when you can't just click ctrl-f to search for it on your computer. Make sure to log into any online platforms like KIS Plus before your lesson to download the relevant resources for your lesson and print the worksheets out before you see your tutor!

‍

There are a lot of moving parts to consider when organising in-person tutoring lessons. If you ever need some assistance with your studies or subject specific help, KIS Academics in-home tutors have a thorough understanding of their subjects and can assist in understanding curriculum requirements. Our tutors are able to provide materials and teaching on how to prepare for assessments thoroughly.

Mirielle Augustin - 99.65 ATAR - Arts/Humanities

Hello! I'm Mirielle, and I bring a wealth of experience from both my academic journey and extracurricular pursuits. I graduated from Perth Modern School with an ATAR of 99.65 and am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) in Humanities and Social Sciences, alongside a Diploma of Languages, at the Australian National University.

As someone who thrived in a dynamic high school environment—balancing rigorous academics, competitive gymnastics, netball, and a host of extracurricular activities like debating, Model UN, and mock trials—I understand the challenges students face in managing their time and staying on top of their studies. My goal as a tutor is to help you navigate these challenges with confidence.

I believe in personalized learning, tailoring each lesson to fit your unique strengths and learning style. Whether it's refining English essays, breaking down economic models, or honing history source analysis skills, I'm here to support you every step of the way. My approach goes beyond subject-specific content; I aim to equip you with essential study skills, time management strategies, and a broader toolbox that will serve you throughout high school and beyond.

Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping students master challenging concepts and watching them develop a genuine passion for the subjects I love. When I'm not tutoring or immersed in my studies, you can find me at dance class or engaging in university extracurriculars.

I'm excited to be a part of your academic journey and to help you achieve your goals!

Dimitri Giannakoudakis - 98.40 ATAR - Law

Hi! My name's Dimitri!

I graduated from Mazenod College with an ATAR of 98.4 and am studying a Bachelor of Laws (Honors) / Commerce at Monash Uni. Through two years of remote learning, I tackled 6 VCE subjects including History Revolutions, English, Methods, Specialist, Religion and Society and Chemistry.

Outside of my studies, I'm a huge soccer fanatic. Don't be surprised to see me responding to emails at crazy times of the night while indulging in whatever competition is available to me. I have also played for many years and have been a part of team sports communities from a young age, so I totally understand the crammed schedules of students these days. I hope to use my experience to help students develop efficient study habits that provide drastic benefits and improvements outside the tutoring sessions.

For my VCE subjects, I offer extensive notes as well as support through the coursework to then transition into VCAA practice. For the younger year levels, I work to develop strong foundational understandings of concepts that'll translate into future success both in and out of studies.

Well, that's it from me! Feel free to ask any questions!

Dinali Fernando - 99.85 ATAR - Medicine

Hi my names Dinali and I am a recent year 12 graduate and a current med student at Monash.

I finished VCE with an ATAR of 99.85 and study score of 50 in Chemistry as the subject Dux of Presbyterian Ladies' College with +46 scaled study scores for every subject. However, although I really enjoyed learning chemistry, I knew that mastering the subject wasn't as simple as listening passively in class.

As a tutor I'm committed to help you proactively identify, practise and gain mastery over areas in content that you find hard to grasp in a classroom environment. As a recent graduate I know that throughout the year your commitments, areas of focus and learning style for chemistry will change. That's why I offer a range of lesson styles whether through weekly content summary classes, test style lessons simulating exam/sac conditions or even focussing on a more in depth analysis of past sacs to understand why you made and how to learn from your mistakes.

If you are ready to engage and feel confident with the ins and outs of VCE Chemistry, I look forward to hearing from you!

What is Private Tutoring?

Private tutoring is the best option for anyone looking for individual, personalised help with their academic performance, especially for subjects like English, Math and Chemistry.
‍
Private tutors can provide you with structured lessons to teach curriculum content, while also being flexible enough to answer questions as they come up, help look over assignments and assist in exam revision.

A high quality private tutor from KIS is not only a knowledgeable teacher who can answer all your questions, but an understanding friend who once had to face the same struggles that you are facing now.

Are your tutors any good?

You bet - you should check out our reviews!
‍
KIS only hires the top tutors in each state.

We specifically hand pick and recruit the best tutors and top scorers of every year level, vet them with a thorough interview and application process, and then we take them through an intensive training program so that they become the best, most compassionate tutors who really know how to teach.
‍
On top of that, we don't just hire the best, we treat our tutors well with top rates, personal development opportunities, plentiful resources for their subjects, and 24/7 administrative support.

Are your tutors qualified teachers or graduate students?

KIS Academics aims to hire young tutors who are relatable, friendly but also super smart tutors who are great at explaining things.
We firmly believe that tutoring should be delivered by someone with a different perspective to teachers at school. This ensures that tutoring doesn't just become another few hours of school, but a completely personalised time where students are taught in a very different, and better way.
You can read more about this in our blog post: Should I get a graduate tutor, or a teacher?

Why are some tutors more expensive?

KIS Academics has an extensive process for hiring tutors. When deciding whether a tutor should be Gold ($70/hour), Platinum ($90/hour) or Executive ($150/hour), our team evaluate factors such as academic performance, years of tutoring experience, feedback and reviews from students, university experience and degrees, other qualifications and overall performance within KIS Academics.

The biggest consideration when upgrading tutors to Platinum or Executive is years of teaching experience and positive feedback and results from past students.
‍
As tutors develop their skillsets further and gain more experience and feedback, they progress through the three levels- ensuring high quality services to match the price they charge.

Here's more info on our pricing

How do payments work?

Payments with KIS Academics are super easy.
Your 30 minute study skills consultation with your tutor is free
‍
After your first lesson, we'll send an invoice to your email. You can pay it with your credit or debit card, or using Google or Apple Pay, just like when you buy something online! You can also pay via direct debit. Please note that we don't accept any other types of payment method.
‍
Please make sure to pay this invoice within 3 days of your it being emailed to you.
‍
All future invoices are billed after and only after lessons. We can save your card details to make payments easier, but if you don't want us to, just let us know at [email protected]. We'll never charge you before a lesson, and you'll always receive a receipt via email.
Here's some more information on how our payments work: How should I pay my tutor?

How long are lessons?

Lessons can be as long as you'd like them to be!

Because we provide private tutoring, all our services are personalised to you. So... if you'd like to do a 2 hour lesson in one week, just let your tutor know. If you'd like to do a 30 minute lesson in another week because you're really busy, just let your tutor know. If you want to make all of your sessions 1.5 hours instead of 1 hour... you guessed it! Just let your tutor know.

We're flexible and lessons can be the perfect length of time for the student.

How can I contact my tutor?

To request a tutor, just press the "Contact Me" button on your tutor's page and send them a message.

Your tutor will get in touch with you directly by giving you a phone call or sending you a text message.
‍
We recommend you save their mobile number as a contact in your phone, so you can get in touch with them easily in the future!

What happens during the study skills consultation?

Study skills consultations are a free, 30-minute meeting with your KIS Academics tutor.
While we are 100% certain that you'll love our tutors, students and tutors also need to have what we call a personality-match. Students need to like their tutor and be comfortable enough to share difficult problems, frustrating questions, and see them for a few extra hours every week.
‍
So, during this consultation session, tutors will focus on getting to know their student, finding out what their strengths and weaknesses are and then building a plan on how to get the most out of tutoring. You can read more about it here: Free One-to-One Study Skills Sessions

How do I organise lessons?

You can organise lessons directly with your tutor - no need to download any apps or go to any websites, text message and email will do the trick!
‍
Your tutor will be in contact with you via text or email to organise all lessons, meaning you can reschedule and reorganise lessons whenever you need to just by contacting them!

What happens during lessons?

Our lessons are completely personalised to the student.
Every lesson is unique, and the sole focus of the tutor is to help a student find their weak spots, then help them overcome these.
Because our lessons are completely personalised, what happens during lessons is entirely up to you!
If you have specific content or questions to go over with your tutor, you can do that with them.
If you don't, your tutor will have a vast array of curriculum resources and content to go through with you.

We usually recommend our tutors to spend the first part of the lesson working through any questions the student has, then to go through curriculum content together, and finally summarise and make plans for the next lesson at the end.

I want a different tutor, can I ask for someone else?

Yes of course!
KIS Academics prides itself on matching students with the best tutor for them . We are successful at doing this 92% of the time.
We rarely have people ask for a different tutor.
If you do need someone else, for whatever reason, please contact us by emailing [email protected] or calling us on +61 485 868 009.

What if I need to cancel a lesson?

That's okay! We know life gets busy, so we can be flexible around your schedule too.

All you need to do is get in touch with your tutor directly and reschedule the lesson for another time.

However, please keep in mind that we have a cancellation policy - if you cancel a lesson less than 1 hour before the time you arranged with your tutor, you'll get charged 100% of the lesson fee. This is to ensure our tutors' time is respected.

So please, if you need to cancel or move a lesson, do it well in advance!

You can find more details about this in our Terms of Service and Cancellation Policy

Can I get access to the online resources?

Yep! All KIS Academics Private Tutoring students will get access to KIS Plus. KIS Plus gives you access to 25+ Online courses for the Australian Curriculum worth over $12,000 dollars.

As a private tutoring student, you'll get access completely for free! Learn more about KIS Plus resources

Are there any terms and conditions?

Yep! You can find all the details in our Terms of Service.

The 3 main policies you should know for private tutoring are:
‍
1. Regular lessons generate results. If you skip more than 3 consecutive weeks of lessons with us, you'll lose your tutoring position with KIS Academics
2. Lesson timing is flexible, but if you fail to show up or cancel less than 1 hour before a lesson, you'll be charged a last-minute-cancellation fee
3. Payments are all done online via TutorPay, and you'll only ever be charged after a lesson. Please make sure to complete any lesson payments within 3 days.

Free 30 minute Study Skills Assessment

Paying for an initial lesson with a tutor you've never met is absolutely crazy! And surprisingly, that's what most tutoring places will ask you to do. We think you deserve to meet your tutor and make sure they're the right fit for you - free of charge. Request a tutor and they will reach out to you to organise this free trial session!

Skeptical about online courses? Trust us, you won't be for long. With tutors specifically trained to deliver content online and use the latest and greatest teaching tools, we'll make you wish you had done things with KIS from the start.
