"Tutoring for Excellence have provided excellent responsive, extra support for my daughter's Maths needs. The tutor she had, Anjali, has been wonderful. She is very relatable to my teen daughter, has a lovely, warm and encouraging manner to support learning goals. This has meant my daughter has felt comfortable and engaged easily with tutoring, which has not always been the case when it comes to Maths" - A. Robb

When students see the same tutor week after week, they build trust and progress faster. Our tutors understand each child’s unique learning style, so every session builds on the last. Parents see results, not just in grades, but in motivation and self-belief.

This consistency is one of the biggest advantages of TFE’s service, it strengthens understanding and helps students achieve steady, measurable progress.

How is Maths and Science taught online?

Tutors use interactive whiteboards and shared screens to work through equations, graphs, diagrams and problems step-by-step in real time. Lessons focus on problem-solving techniques, logical thinking and exam preparation, while maintaining active engagement throughout.

How is English structured online?

Tutors collaborate with students using shared documents for writing, editing and feedback. Lessons may include reading comprehension, essay planning, grammar, and analysis of texts – all personalised to suit the student’s level and school requirements.

What other subjects do you offer online?

We provide tutoring across all major subjects and levels – from primary through to senior secondary, university and adult learning.

Can online tutoring be as effective as in-person?

Yes. Online tutoring offers the same one-to-one focus and engagement. Tutors adapt lessons for the digital format to keep students involved and motivated.

How do you choose the right tutor for my child?

Each student is personally matched with a tutor based on subject, teaching style, personality and schedule.

Do we have the same tutor every week?

Absolutely. Consistency is central to our approach. Your tutor remains the same unless you request a change.

What equipment do we need?

A computer or tablet with a camera, microphone and reliable internet connection is all that’s required.

How much does online tutoring cost?

Online tutoring is more affordable than in-home lessons, with no travel costs. Prices start from $65 per hour.

My child has ADHD or a short attention span

We’ll match your child with a tutor experienced in maintaining focus and engagement. Lessons can include short, interactive activities, games or challenges to keep learning enjoyable and productive.

We live rurally

Distance is no longer a barrier. Online tutoring connects students with experienced tutors anywhere in New Zealand, ensuring regional and rural families have access to the same quality support as those in major cities.

We had a bad experience with another online agency

We’re different. You’ll have one consistent tutor, not a rotation. You can communicate directly with your tutor and our office, where calls are usually answered within a minute.

We’re trying to reduce screen time

Online tutoring is active, not passive. Students collaborate, solve problems and discuss ideas throughout each lesson – using the screen as a learning tool, not just a viewing device.

Skip the search. We’ll find the perfect tutor for your child based on subject, personality, goals and availability.
