Do you need us?
Is my child guaranteed a tutor when I enquire?
We aim to field as many enquiries as possible.
During term time, allocating slots for new students can be tough as most of our tutors are booked up. We don’t hire or recommend tutors who aren’t equipped to do a great job, which means our waiting lists are longer than most.
School holidays are the best time to enquire. If you know your child will require a tutor, getting in touch as soon as possible is recommended.

Testimonials
“Thanks to Sponge I was able to absorb information more easily. My tutor walked me through the concepts with clear explanations, diagrams and often slightly crazy analogies. There was never any stress, but always someone to help me with my questions in the warmest way possible. It didn't just aid with my raw school work, but also with how to handle exams, which greatly benefited me in my approach to the HSC.”
Tim R, Sydney Grammar School, Year 12 2017
“Thank you to Sponge for your help throughout my HSC year! I loved how structured the lessons were, whether it was spent looking over difficult questions or revising particular concepts, the 2 hour sessions I had were always productive and informative. Sponge provided me with a wide range of resources, which helped me gain a comprehensive understanding of syllabus dotpoints for my HSC. Thanks Sponge!”
Ashley Z, Abbotsleigh, Year 12 2017
“Sponge Education was a lifesaver for me during year 12. My tutor helped me to change biology from being one of my most dreaded classes to one of my favourites as I always felt prepared and ready. I was able to ask my tutor questions in between sessions as well.”
