How Mathnasium works

An assessment first

A diagnostic assessment finds strengths and gaps, and sets a customised learning plan.

In a centre or online

Students learn at a local centre, online through Mathnasium@Home, or a mix of both.

Two or three times a week

Mathnasium recommends 2 to 3 sessions a week until learning goals are met, with flexible scheduling.

Homework help, no homework

It doesn't set homework, but sessions include time to help with school homework.

Who Mathnasium suits

  • Primary and early secondary students who need a structured maths program several times a week.
  • Families near a centre (NSW, the ACT or Queensland), or happy to learn online.
  • Students who need to rebuild foundations, not just prepare for this term's test.

It's a bigger commitment of time and money if what your child mainly needs is practice on this term's school topics before a test, and centres aren't open in Victoria yet.

Designed by tutors who know what lifts exam marks

Tuterly was carefully designed by the educators at Bayside Academics, a Melbourne tutoring centre that has taught over 2,000 students in 10 years, with a 5.0 rating on Google. In that time we’ve seen what actually moves a maths mark before a test or exam: knowing exactly what’s on it, working from the student’s own mistakes, and practising each one until it’s mastered. Tuterly is built around exactly that, for $8.99 a week at the launch price (50% off until 31 March 2027):

  • Find it: your child snaps the questions they got wrong, or uploads a whole marked test.
  • Fix it: a worked solution for each one, and the exact step that went wrong.
  • Master it: fresh versions of the same idea until it’s mastered, not just explained once.
  • Predict it: Exam Zone works from their school’s test outline and past papers and writes practice exams in that style.

It’s an app, not a tutor, and it covers Years 7 to 10 maths. Some families use it instead of a tutor; others use it between sessions, so the tutor’s hour goes further.
