  • I am a Learnmate tutor, how do I find the coupon code?

    Login to your profile on Learnmate.com.au. Under your 'profile' tab, scroll down to 'Shared Resources' and the code should be there.

  • Why should I do this training?

    The course covers key fundamentals of tutoring at an advanced level. Tutors who are new to tutoring often fall into the 'trap' of teaching others how they themselves learned or excelled, which is generally not a recipe for success for tutoring. This course helps to illustrate how tutors can effectively tutor students by determining how they learn best and matching their style to the student. In addition, it covers critical must-know information relating to child protection and safety, which are non-negotiables for tutors to understand. Finally, tutors who have completed professional training can usually charge higher rates per hour than tutors who haven't completed professional training but only if they ensure they put the tools they've gained by doing the training to good use.

  • Does the course expire once I purchase it?

    You'll have lifetime access to the course and any material shared in it.

  • I am a Learnmate tutor, what do I get for completing this training?

    Other than advancing your skills, marketability and value as a tutor, Learnmate tutors who complete this training receive an 'ATA Trained' badge on their profile page. This lets prospective customers know you are not just any other tutor and may help you to justify charging a higher price per hour.

  • What is the Australian Tutoring Association?

    The Australian Tutoring Association (ATA) is one of Australia's peak tutoring bodies and aims to represent tutors and tutoring organisations to ensure students are provided the best possible service by ethical tutoring organisations and to raise the overall standard of tutoring in Australia. This course was created in conjunction with the ATA to ensure it was recognised as meeting those aims. Countless years of experience have gone into bringing this training course to you.
