Tutoring for Excellence

In Home Tutoring in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch or Online Everywhere

Tutoring for Excellence was founded on the belief that focused, one-on-one attention empowers students to learn and achieve in ways that aren’t always possible in a traditional classroom.

We’re passionate about helping every student reach their full potential. Our tutors do this through goal setting, building confidence, and tailoring lessons to each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style.

Since launching in 1996 as a small local business, we’ve grown into an organisation supporting hundreds of tutors and thousands of students across New Zealand and Australia. Today, we provide tutors for individual families, government programs, and private organisations – including sporting associations, insurance companies, employment centres, hospitals and the film industry.
