Learn and Thrive Together

For many students, learning alongside peers creates energy and motivation that solo study cannot. Our small group sessions (limited to 7 students) provide this balance, giving each child individual attention while allowing them to collaborate with others. At $80 per session, this is an affordable way for Wollongong families to access high-quality maths tutoring led by a qualified teacher.

Benefits of Group Tutoring

Group tutoring at Sum˄It Education helps students learn together, build confidence, and achieve results affordably.

Encourages peer interaction and collaboration

Students quickly see that they’re not the only ones with questions or challenges. Working together with peers fosters teamwork, builds social confidence, and helps learners feel supported as they develop their skills.

Builds confidence, motivation, and engagement

Small group settings reduce the pressure some students feel in one-on-one environments while increasing motivation. Seeing peers succeed makes students more willing to try, participate, and stay engaged.

Affordable, cost-effective tutoring option

At $80 per session, group tutoring offers parents excellent value. Families can access the expertise of a qualified maths teacher without the higher cost of one-on-one sessions, making it a smart choice for long-term support.

Flexible options: join an existing group or create a private group

We make it easy to find the right fit. Families can enrol in established Sum^it Education groups, or they can create their own private group with friends or classmates for an even more tailored experience.

​​Who Small Group Tutoring Is For

Our small group tutoring is ideal for students who learn best with encouragement, enjoy collaboration, and benefit from a supportive, affordable environment that builds both skills and confidence.

Students who need encouragement to stay motivated

Group sessions help students feel accountable and inspired by the progress of others, making learning more consistent and less overwhelming.

Learners who thrive on collaboration

Some students prefer learning in a social setting where they can bounce ideas off others and share different approaches to problem-solving.
