PhD Tutor is based right here in Officer, at 29 Officedale Rd. We teach maths and science from Prep to VCE in small groups of no more than three, plus English for primary students.
Families come to us when a child has fallen behind, when they want to stay ahead, or when VCE and selective school exams are coming up. We find the gaps first, then teach to them.

Being local means no long drive after school. Primary students can come straight after the school day, and older students can come by car or by train to Officer station.
Whether your child goes to Officer Secondary College, a local primary school or another school along the Pakenham line, we follow the Victorian Curriculum and the VCE study designs, so lessons line up with what is being taught at school.

Questions parents in Officer ask
Where are lessons held?
At our tutoring space at 29 Officedale Rd, Officer. We will send directions when you book.
How big are the classes?
Small groups have no more than three students. If your child needs more focused help, one-on-one lessons are available.
