Yes we do.
Most tutoring centres offer either one on one or group tuition, but not many do both. We believe both can be beneficial, depending on the needs of your child.
Reach Academy Private Tutoring provides the highest quality private tutoring service to students who studying for their HSC, and Selective exams. We run one on one sessions at our Castle Hill campus, or we can send our tutors to students’ home or local public library for their convenience.
Please check out our one-on-one private tutoring Pricing page.
Most tutoring centres offer either one on one or group tuition, but not many do both. We believe both can be beneficial, depending on the needs of your child.
One on one private tutoring is most beneficial as part of our program, where we aim to help your child fill gaps in their foundation knowledge. Group tutoring is beneficial if your child wants to improve upon an already solid base of knowledge, because it has many other benefits.
Learning is a social process, and involves interpersonal interaction between tutor and student. By including other motivated students in a small group class, your child has the opportunity to learn from peers, share their ideas and even be exposed to healthy competition which can inspire them to perform even better.
Admission
Yes we do.
New students are eligible for one week free trial lessons per subject. Come and experience the difference we can make to your learning, obligation free. No Obligations, totally FREE! If you found that Reach Academy is of value to you, let us know if you’d like to join us for the term. But be quick. Please be aware these are small classes with limited spaces. Don’t miss out.
Feel free to check out our Free Trial page.
In the first free lesson we start with an assessment of your child’s level of knowledge. Then we will teach them the subject of their choice. Finally, we will provide valuable feedback to both the student as well as their parents.
You and your child are given time to decide if you would like to enroll for tutoring, there’s no obligation to join. The centre admin will then call you within the next 3 working days after the lesson to follow up, and to enroll if you wish to sign up with Reach Academy.
In the event that a student fails to adhere to their schedule of class attendance, homework submission and its subsequent correction, a notice is issued to the student and their parents or guardian. We use this process to understand why the student is not completing their work and then work to rectify the situation.
Pricing
We will provide all necessary class notes, homework, quizzes and exams. Our materials methodically cover the NSW Educational Standards Authority (formerly BOSTES) syllabus providing both sound theoretical grounding and extensive practical exposure.

Workshop
Group classes are a small number of students tutored by one teacher. Our normal 1-on-1s involve scheduled weekly lessons where one student is taught by one tutor, paid for on a termly basis. Our Workshops allow convenient booking of one session at a time.
Once students successfully enrol in our group classes each term, they will receive an Enrolment Code, which will be valid for one term. Depending on the enrolment plan paid for, students will receive a number of FREE one-on-one Onsite or Online Workshops for each subject. If they use up all free sessions in a term, they will receive a significant discount for all sessions booked afterwards, to assist our students with homework tutoring, school exam preparation, and other services. If you are a new student with no group classes enrolled, you CANNOT obtain or use an Enrolment Code.
There are two scenarios where you may not have an Enrolment Code:
- If you are already enrolled in Reach group tutoring, but do not have an Enrolment Code, you can reach out to our admin team to ask for your Enrolment Code, which gives a number of free and significantly discounted bookings.
- If you are not enrolled in Reach group tutoring, you can still book the Workshop sessions, however they will be at full price.
Each session is 1 hour long. However, you can book as many sessions as you’d like.
We accept credit card payments only for Workshops.
We have two booking alerts – “same day booking” and “within 24 hours”. For both alerts, due to short notice for the tutor, we have the right to postpone or cancel (with refund) your session. However, the session will more likely take place.
If you are not able to attend the session, you can choose to either reschedule the session (though this is subject to the tutor’s availabilities), or cancel the session. A cancellation fee of 25% of the session’s price applies. However, please be aware that you cannot cancel the session in the 24 hours leading up to it, but can reschedule it.
If a tutor is unable to make a session, we will try reschedule the session. However, if the reschedule times are not suitable, we will fully refund the fee paid.
We have three levels of tutors:
- Head teachers, who are the most experienced and qualified school heads
- Senior teachers, who are very experienced school teachers
- Tutors, who are high-achieving university students with high ATARS and state ranks
