Australian states each run their own senior certificate, and New Zealand is replacing NCEA. We offer live, one-to-one online lessons matched to your child’s state or school, year level and subject, arranged after school or in your evening.
Australia has a national curriculum for Foundation to Year 10, but states and territories implement it on their own timelines, Victoria and Western Australia use their own versions, and every state awards its own Year 12 certificate. “Year 11 Methods” in Victoria and “Year 11 Advanced” in NSW are not the same course, so tell us the state and the exact subject name when you request a trial.
New Zealand is in a period of change: a refreshed national curriculum is now required for maths and statistics, and the government has confirmed new qualifications to replace NCEA from 2028. Families with students in Years 10 to 12 are understandably asking what applies to whom, and the answer depends on the year group.
eMath Tutor has no office or centre in Australia or New Zealand. We provide online tutoring for families in Australia and New Zealand through live video lessons, one tutor with one student, arranged at mutually agreed times in your time zone.
Curricula common here
Endorsed by education ministers on 1 April 2022, with each state and territory setting its own implementation timeline. Victoria uses the Victorian Curriculum 2.0 and Western Australia its own K–10 Outline.
Sat online in March, covering numeracy, reading, writing, spelling, and grammar and punctuation. Results use four proficiency levels, from Exceeding to Needs additional support. It is a snapshot that helps find gaps, not a final exam.
NSW students take the HSC, with Mathematics Advanced, Extension 1 and Extension 2. Victorian VCE maths includes Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics. Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia award the QCE, WACE and SACE.
Most states use the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank for university entry. It is a rank, not a mark, running from 0.00 to 99.95 in steps of 0.05, and comparable across states.
Te Mātaiaho, the refreshed national curriculum, has been required for maths and statistics in Years 0 to 8 since 2025 and Years 9 to 13 since 2026. Since 2024, any NCEA level needs 20 literacy and numeracy co-requisite credits.
Confirmed in May 2026: a Foundational Award replaces NCEA Level 1 from 2028, then the NZ Certificate of Education (Year 12) from 2029 and the Advanced Certificate (Year 13) from 2030, graded A+ to E. From 2028, all Year 11 students study English, Mathematics and Science.
School subjects and Quran & Islamic studies, all taught live and one-to-one.
Maths, sciences, English and exam preparation, from early years to university.
From the first letters in Noorani Qaida to Tajweed and Hifz, taught with patience.
Verified reviews from families of 1,600+ students across the US, Canada, the UK, the Gulf, Australia, Europe and Asia.
“My daughter is the kind of student who won’t ask questions in front of a whole class. She would come home confused but insist she understood everything. Private tutoring gives her space to admit when something isn’t clear. She likes being able to spend extra time on the harder questions instead of moving on too quickly.”
Indian parent Sydney, Australia A Level Mathematics “We wanted extra support for our daughter, mainly in maths and English. She’s quite sensitive and gets upset if she feels she’s falling behind. The one-to-one format has suited her because there’s no pressure to keep up with other children. She’s becoming more comfortable discussing what she doesn’t understand, which is what we wanted.”
Pakistani parent Auckland, New Zealand English & Mathematics “Sometimes my daughter takes a while to remember a lesson. Her teacher is kind and doesn’t make her feel bad about repeating it.”
Pakistani parent Auckland, New Zealand Noorani Qaida “I wanted my daughter to understand more of what she’s reading. It’s nice when she comes to me and explains the meaning of something she learned.”
Pakistani parent Melbourne, Australia Quran translation “My daughter was finding science difficult and slowly losing interest. She seems more willing to study now that she can ask questions freely.”
Pakistani parent Melbourne, Australia Science “My daughter has started putting more effort into her writing. The tutor explains her mistakes without making her feel discouraged.”

Talk to a coordinatorNo. eMath Tutor is an online-only institute with no offices or centres anywhere. We provide online tutoring for families in Australia and New Zealand through live, one-to-one video lessons with a shared whiteboard, so students in Sydney, Perth or Auckland join from home in the same way.
Lessons are arranged at mutually agreed times in your own time zone, from AWST in Perth to AEST or AEDT on the east coast and NZST or NZDT in New Zealand. Our team works across time zones, so after-school, evening and weekend times can usually be discussed before the first lesson.
Whichever your child’s school uses. In Victoria and Western Australia that is a state curriculum; elsewhere it is the Australian Curriculum as implemented by the state. In Years 11 and 12 it is always the state’s senior syllabus, such as HSC Mathematics Advanced or VCE Mathematical Methods.
Familiarity with the online format is sensible, but heavy test drilling is not usually helpful, especially for younger children. NAPLAN is most useful as information: a tutor can use the results to find specific gaps, such as fractions or multi-step problems, and work on those.
It depends on their year group. The Foundational Award starts and NCEA Level 1 is removed in 2028, the NZ Certificate of Education starts in 2029 and the Advanced Certificate in 2030. Students already partway through NCEA should confirm with their school which qualification applies to them.
Tutors can teach the underlying maths or science and explain what an investigation or assignment requires. The submitted work must be the student’s own, as schools and state authorities have strict rules on outside help, and we follow them. We don’t promise particular results or ATARs.
A coordinator will contact you to understand the student’s needs and arrange a complimentary lesson with a suitable tutor.
