What Our Customers Say
What makes BTA the right choice for Northern Beaches families
The Northern Beaches has no shortage of options for private tutoring - agency platforms, independent tutors, and online services all compete for parents' attention. What BTA offers that most don't is a physical academy in your community, a structured system for matching students with the right tutor, and accountability through our Student Success Manager.
​
Our tutors are tiered by experience and qualification - from Professional Tutors (high-achieving university students trained in BTA's teaching system) through to Highly Accomplished Teachers with formal accreditation and HSC marking experience. You select the tier that suits your child's year level and goals. And if the match isn't right, our Right Tutor Guarantee covers you - we'll find a better fit at no extra charge.
