What Frankston families ask for

NAPLAN preparation works best from Term 1 in Years 3 and 5. VCE students benefit from starting at the beginning of the year, though mid-year enquiries still produce strong results when tutors focus on SAC technique and exam practice.

Top of the Class connects Frankston families with the right VCE, NAPLAN, or primary tutor for their child's stage and subject. Submit one enquiry and your tutor reaches out directly, usually within a few hours.

Frankston sits on the southern edge of Melbourne's bayside corridor, and local families ask about tutoring at every year level. From Foundation literacy through to VCE Unit 3 and 4 exam preparation, the demand here reflects what we see across the Frankston LGA: students who want structured support from tutors who actually know the Victorian curriculum.

Schools and subjects Frankston families ask about most

The most common things we see from Frankston families are requests for VCE Maths Methods, English, and Chemistry tutoring, closely followed by NAPLAN preparation for Year 3 and Year 5 students. Local schools we hear about most often from Frankston families include Frankston High School, Elisabeth Murdoch College, Mount Erin College, Monterey Secondary College, and Frankston Primary School. Students preparing for VCE at Frankston High often ask specifically about tutors who understand the school's internal assessment expectations and the VCAA study design.

Year 7-10 students at schools like Monterey Secondary College frequently need support in maths and science as the Victorian curriculum increases in complexity during Stage 5 equivalent years. Primary students across Frankston, Carrum Downs, and Langwarrin regularly work with tutors on NAPLAN Numeracy and Reading before sitting the online assessment in Years 3 and 5.

How tutoring works through Top of the Class

You submit one enquiry describing your child's year level, subjects, and goals. The connection is handled personally; the right tutor is identified for your situation and they reach out directly to introduce themselves. There is no hunting, no comparing lists, and no awkward first call where you feel like you are doing a job interview.

Every tutor connected through Top of the Class confirms a current Working With Children Check. Sessions can happen in your home, at a local library, or online, depending on what suits your family. Most tutors offer a first-lesson satisfaction guarantee so you can see how your child responds before committing to ongoing sessions.

What tutoring costs in Frankston

Rates for private one-on-one tutoring in Frankston are broadly consistent with the broader Mornington Peninsula and bayside Melbourne market. Below are typical starting rates (as at 2026).

Year levelFrom (online or in person)
Primary (Foundation-Year 6)$55+/hr
Years 7-10$65+/hr
VCE Units 1-2 (Years 11)$75+/hr
VCE Units 3-4 (Year 12)$85+/hr

In-person sessions may carry a small additional fee depending on tutor location and travel.

One or two sessions a fortnight is the most common commitment for primary and middle school students. VCE Year 12 students, particularly those sitting Maths Methods or Chemistry SACs, often move to weekly sessions from Term 2 onward.

When to start tutoring in Frankston

For NAPLAN, students in Year 3 or Year 5 benefit from starting preparation in Term 1, well ahead of the May testing window. For VCE, the best time to connect with a tutor is at the start of the year, before SAC schedules pile up. That said, families who enquire mid-year or even in Term 3 still see real benefit, particularly if the tutor can help with exam technique and practice papers.

Frankston High School students preparing for end-of-year VCE exams typically begin intensive support from late Term 2. Students at Elisabeth Murdoch College doing the International Baccalaureate sometimes need tutors who understand the IB assessment model alongside standard VCE.
