We cater to students from Year 3 through to Year 12 and beyond, helping them excel in a variety of subjects.

How do I sign up for tutoring at KAT?

Signing up is easy! You can call, message, or fill out our online enquiry form on our website. We'll schedule an initial consultation to discuss your needs, after which you'll complete an enrollment form and be added to our TutorCruncher system for invoicing, scheduling, and progress tracking.

How soon can I start tutoring after enrolling?

Once you complete the enrollment process, we typically begin tutoring sessions within a week, depending on tutor availability and scheduling preferences. For urgent exam preparation, we do our best to accommodate earlier starts.

Where are you located?

Our centre is located in the Granville area. We also offer online tutoring, so you can access our services from anywhere.

What surburbs do you service?

We service nearby suburbs such as Parramatta, Merrylands, Auburn, Lidcombe, Guildford, Harris Park, and more. We also offer online tutoring, so you can access our services from anywhere.

How can I contact you if I have more questions?

You can reach us via phone, email, or by filling out the contact form on our website. We're always happy to help and provide any additional information you need!

What subjects do you tutor?

We offer tutoring in a wide range of subjects, including:
- Math (Years 3–12)
- Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics)
- English (Years 3–12, including essay writing and literary analysis)
- Humanities (History, Geography)
- Specialized subjects for UCAT, GAMSAT, and HSC/VCE exam preparation

Do you offer online tutoring?

Yes! We provide both in-person and online tutoring to suit your preferences. Our online sessions are interactive and engaging, using tools that allow tutors to work with students in real-time, just as they would in person.

What is the difference between 1-on-1 and group tutoring?

One-on-one tutoring offers personalised, tailored attention, focusing solely on the student's individual needs. Group tutoring allows students to learn in a collaborative environment, with a maximum of 6-8 students per class, ensuring both individual attention and peer interaction.

Do you offer long-term mentorship?

Yes! Beyond tutoring, we provide long-term academic mentorship programs, guiding students throughout their academic journey. Our mentorship programs focus on building skills like time management, goal setting, exam preparation, and personal development.

Can the study plan be customised?

Yes, while we offer structured programs, we remain flexible and can adjust the study plan based on the student's progress, strengths, and areas that need more focus. For students needing specific attention, we can further tailor our programs to meet individual requirements.

How are your courses structured?

Our courses are structured with a clear curriculum, focusing on core concepts and exam preparation. For every subject and program, we set measurable goals, ensure consistent feedback, and track student progress to help them achieve their academic objectives.

Do you offer mock exams or practice tests?

Absolutely! For students preparing for major exams like the HSC, UCAT, and GAMSAT, we offer mock exams and practice tests to simulate real exam conditions. We also provide detailed feedback to help students improve their test-taking strategies.

How are your tutors selected?

All KAT tutors are highly qualified and experienced in their subject areas. Many are medical and dental students, graduates, or professionals with excellent academic records and practical experience. They are also trained to provide mentorship, guiding students not just academically but also in personal development.

How large are your group tutoring classes?

Our group classes are intentionally small, with a maximum of 6-8 students per class. This allows for personalised attention and ensures that each student's questions and learning needs are addressed.

How do you track student progress?

We use TutorCruncher, a comprehensive platform where tutors upload detailed lesson reports after each session, summarising what was covered, student progress, and next steps. Regular progress reports are also provided to parents, and feedback is given continuously throughout the tutoring program.

What if the student isn't satisfied?

We will look to address the issue and alter our tutoring program accordingly.

What is the pricing for your tutoring services?

Our pricing depends on the student's year level and the type of tutoring:
- One-on-One Lessons: Starting from $40 per hour for Year 3-6 students, and up to $55 per hour for Year 11-12.
- Group Tutoring (KAT Courses): Prices range from $27 to $30 per hour, depending on the year level. Discounts are available for students enrolling in multiple subjects.

Do you offer any discounts or special offers?

Yes, we have several discounts:
- Multi-Subject Discounts: 5% off for enrolling in 2 subjects, 10% off for 3 subjects, 15% off for 4 subjects, and 20% off for 5 subjects or more.
- Early Bird Discount: A 10% discount when you pay the full term's fee upfront.

How do I pay for tutoring sessions?

All payments are managed through our TutorCruncher system, which handles invoicing and payments. We offer flexible payment options, including monthly payment plans. Early bird discounts are available for upfront term payments.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, simply contact us at least 24 hours in advance, and we'll be happy to rearrange your lesson. Any cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a cancellation fee.
