Our Story

Built for Busy Families

Top of the Class started with a simple observation: parents spend hours searching for the right tutor — scrolling through marketplace profiles, reading reviews, sending messages that go unanswered. And students keep falling behind while the search drags on.

We built something different. A service where families share what they need, and we handle the rest. No browsing. No comparing. No guesswork. Just a qualified tutor, introduced within 24 hours.

Today, we serve families across 300+ suburbs in every Australian state, covering 50+ subjects from primary literacy through to university-level exam prep.

From the Founder

A Word from Sarah Davies

“I built Top of the Class because I was tired of seeing families struggle with faceless tutoring agencies and overwhelming marketplace directories. The process should be simple: tell us about your child, and we find the right tutor. No browsing, no comparing, no guesswork. Every introduction we make is backed by genuine tutor screening and local knowledge. This isn't a platform — it's a promise that the right tutor makes all the difference.”

Our Mission

Great Tutoring, Made Simple

Our mission is to remove every barrier between a student who needs help and a tutor who can provide it. We want the process to feel effortless for families — because when the logistics are easy, learning starts sooner.

We also believe tutors deserve better than fighting for visibility in a crowded marketplace. By connecting them directly with qualified, relevant families, we help tutors build sustainable practices doing what they love.

What Makes Us Different

Not a Marketplace. A Service.

Most tutoring platforms are marketplaces — they list tutors and leave the rest to you. We take a different approach.

We Do the Work

Other platforms make you browse profiles, read reviews, and send messages. We take the brief and deliver the right tutor — so you don't have to.

Speed That Matters

When a child is struggling, every week counts. Most families receive a tutor introduction within 24 hours, not days or weeks.

Quality Over Quantity

We don't list every tutor who signs up. Every tutor in our network is screened for qualifications, experience, and suitability.

Free for Families, Always

Our service costs parents nothing. We're funded by tutors who value receiving qualified, relevant leads instead of competing in a marketplace.
