01 / WHY STUDYNOTE
Good tuition is not more school after school. It is a different conversation.
We make the room smaller, the questions safer, and the path forward clearer.
Questions parents askParents usually get in touch for one of these reasons.
02 / SUBJECT LIBRARY
6 subjects
Years 7–10Building the numeracy and algebra that everything after Year 10 quietly assumes.
Applied numeracy and measurement for real-world problem solving.
Practical maths for everyday contexts, statistics and financial decisions.
The Stage 1 subject that leads to Mathematical Methods and Specialist.
Functions, calculus and probability, the essential pathway into STEM.
Proof, complex numbers and higher-level calculus, taken alongside Methods.
5 subjects
Years 7–10The physical, biological and chemical groundwork the senior subjects build on.
Cells, genetics, evolution and the diversity of life.
Atomic structure, reactions and the science of matter and materials.
Mechanics, electromagnetism and the laws governing how things move.
The science of mind and behaviour, evidence and data first.
3 subjects
Years 7–10Coding and data, CAD and robotics projects, across both subjects of the area.
Project work, data handling and the folio the subject is actually assessed on.
The design side and the folio the subject is assessed on, not the workshop build.

These are not open for booking yet. Each one opens when there is a teacher who can do it properly. If one of them is what your child needs, tell us anyway. We will be straight about where it is up to, and we will try to find you someone.
03 / WHO TEACHES
You will know who is sitting with your kid before the first session, not after it.

04 / THE DIFFERENCE
05 / SESSIONS AND FEES
Same tutor, same session, wherever it runs. The small group is priced per student, one-to-one by the hour, and everything starts from the figures below. You are told the exact rate before you commit to anything.
Twenty-four hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel, at no charge. No contracts, no term prepayments, and no joining fee. Sessions are paid for one at a time.
All rates and what is included06 / QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK
If something is not here, ask it in the form below and we will answer it plainly.
All questionsSix to eight by year level, and usually fewer. Small enough that nobody hides at the back, and small enough that a tutor can sit with each student inside one session.
One-to-one is available if that suits your kid better. Say so in the form and we will talk it through.
We come to you. Sessions run in your home, at a local library if home is busy, or online, across Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills. It is the same tutor and the same session whichever you choose.
A tuition centre is planned. We do not have an address to announce yet. Until we do, the three options above are how every session runs.
Ask in the form below and we will tell you exactly what a session costs for your student before you commit to anything.
One-to-one rates start from $90 an hour in your home, $80 at a library and $70 online. Small groups start from $45 a student, an hour. The first conversation costs nothing, and nothing is payable until you have had it.
Every session ends with practice notes, and there is a short progress note before each assessment. You will be able to see what has been covered and what is still shaky, without having to ask.
The South Australian Certificate of Education, Stage 1 and Stage 2, across mathematics, science and technologies.
This one catches a lot of people out. At Stage 1 the subject is simply Mathematics, which schools timetable as Methods A, B and C. Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics exist only at Stage 2.
The South Australian implementation of the Australian Curriculum, not a generic national one. The move to Version 9 reorganised where a number of topics sit, and schools are not all at the same point in that transition, so two students in the same year level can genuinely be on different sequences.
Practically, it means we ask what your kid covered in class this week and work from that. SACE Stage 1 and Stage 2 follow the SACE Board subject outlines, which are the same for everyone.
Underneath SACE sits the SA Curriculum, South Australia’s own version of the national curriculum. It is coming in stage by stage, and the department expects that to be finished in 2027. For maths it still comes down to the same six areas: Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability.
Schools are at different points with it, so rather than assume, we work from what your kid actually covered in class this week. Bring the topic name off their timetable and we will map it.
Right now, sessions are taught by the two teachers who founded StudyNote. Both are registered teachers with a current Working with Children Check, and both are teaching in South Australian schools this year.
As we grow, some sessions will be taken by other tutors. Each clears the standard set out on the Your teacher page and is named there, with their qualifications in their own right, before you commit to a session.
Send the form below. We will reply to arrange a short conversation, and a diagnostic task gives us a clear starting point. That first conversation is free and commits you to nothing.
FROM THE CLASSROOM
Vatsal finished SACE Stage 2 with an A+ with Merit. There was no trick to it, just draft after draft, iteration after iteration with guidance the whole way, until the final version was the strongest work he had ever handed in.
Vatsal
Mukul’s STEM project was an innovation build on VEX robotics. He had to design it, build it, and debug it until it worked. Engineering as something you do with your hands, not something you watch on a slide.
Mukul
The feedback Rowan kept giving was the word clear. Ideas that had slid past in class, like what a program is actually doing step by step, stayed put once they were walked through at his pace, and he started explaining them back.
Rowan
Corbin learned to code by building a game in Godot. The fun was doing real work, because every feature he wanted his game to have was a programming concept he suddenly had a reason to master.
Corbin
Essential Mathematics runs on real-world problems, so that is how it was taught. Every calculation was worked through on something real, in plain steps, and by the end Dimitri and Callum were setting up the working themselves.

Ella started Year 7 tech uncomfortable in the room. Every task was scaffolded into steps she could actually finish, until the finished work did the reassuring and the subject stopped being the scary one.

Not a shortcut. A better understanding.
