SPELD SA maintains a register of tutors who provide individual tutoring for children and adults across Australia.
SPELD SA Tutors
SPELD SA maintains a register of private tutors who meet our strict training and experience requirements. Tutors are trained in evidence-based teaching approaches designed to improve students’ literacy and numeracy skills and must undertake ongoing professional learning to remain on our register.
They have a minimum of two years classroom experience or are an allied health professional/SSO with at least two years experience supporting students with literacy and/or numeracy.
The SPELD SA Tutor Management Team monitors all tutors to ensure high-quality instruction is provided to students.
Safe & Trusted
• Tutors are covered by Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance
• Our team operates the service using an online Tutor Management System. The system manages billing and payments, which requires tutors to enter upcoming lessons into their calendar.
• Potential tutors are required to complete and submit an application form to the Tutor Manager, participate in a comprehensive interview, and undergo reference checks before being accepted onto the SPELD SA tutor register.
Where do SPELD SA Tutors work?
Tutors can choose to work from their own home, at the student's home, online, or there may be an opportunity to work at the student's school (with permission from the school).
It is essential that there is a designated, distraction-free space available for the tutor and the student.

Tutors will use programs and approaches that have been specifically identified as appropriate
