Best Small-Group Tutoring in Perth, WA

25 Perth tutoring businesses whose own websites offer small-group classes, ranked by the Starworks exam-prep score. No business can pay to be listed or ranked.

The short answer

As of October 2026, ranked by the Starworks exam-prep score (parent reviews, track record, focus on the exam, teaching, and published fees and times), the 25 Perth tutoring businesses whose own websites offer small-group classes are led by Test Champs-WA (previously Scholastic Excellence) (81.3/100: 4.9 stars from 79 Google reviews across 3 listings, running since 2004), followed by Bright Tutorial (64.4/100: 5.0 stars from 7 Google reviews, running since 2014) and High Hopes Tutoring Centre (59.1/100: 4.9 stars from 184 Google reviews).

Starworks holds 196 rated tutoring businesses in Perth. We read the websites of 131 of them; 48 have no website of their own on file and 17 sites could not be read, so those 65 businesses cannot appear on these pages.

Every listing quotes the business's own website, read on 25 October 2026, for the service and, where the website states one, the year the business started, and shows its exam-prep score part by part. Google ratings and review counts are Google's, as Starworks holds them, added up across each business's listings on this list (each listing once). No business can pay to be listed or ranked.

How this list is made

  1. We start from every rated tutoring business on the Starworks directory (the same businesses as its tutors pages). Perth here means the whole Perth metropolitan area, north and south of the river, from Joondalup to Mandurah: a business is placed by the postcode in its own Google listing's address (6000 to 6199, or Mandurah's 6207 to 6215), or, where the listing has no postcode, by the Perth suburb Starworks files it under.
  2. We read each business's own website: the home page and up to ten of its pages about its programs, courses, exams, classes or the business itself, never blogs, news, reviews or shop pages, with robots.txt respected.
  3. A business is listed when its own words offer small-group classes: a full sentence about what it offers, or an item on its own price list. The line is quoted with a link to the page it is on. A review, a sentence in the first person singular (read as a review) or a job ad does not count.
  4. The year a business started is taken from its own website the same way: a line in its own voice or naming the business ("since 1999", "established 2004", "EST. 2004"), quoted with a link. A tutor's personal history, a student's, a review, or the start of a test, a course or one campus does not count, and "20 years' experience" without a year is not read as a start year. When a business's website is one branch's page of a larger organisation's site (a site several businesses list, or one location's page of it), a year on it is the organisation's, so it is not counted for the branch.
  5. Teaching and published fees and times are read from the business's own lines the same way: a stated class-size cap ("maximum 9 students per class"), classes taught by qualified, registered or experienced teachers, a fee with what it buys, and class days and times. A testimonial, a job ad, one teacher's own career, an admin fee, surcharge or exam fee, and an application or test date do not count.
  6. The order is the Starworks exam-prep score, out of 100, worked out the same way for every business: parent reviews 40 (the Google rating across all of the business's listings on this list, each listing counted once, discounted when it rests on few reviews: rating minus 1.645 divided by the square root of the number of reviews, scored from 3.5 up to 5.0); track record 20 (the years since the start year its own website states, full marks at 15; branches of a larger organisation's site do not take the organisation's year); focus on the exam 20 (half for a page of its own website about it, by its address, half for naming at least 2 of the things it covers); teaching 10 (half for a stated class-size cap of 10 or fewer, half for classes taught by qualified or experienced teachers); and published fees and times 10 (half each). Every part is read from Google's figures or the pages of the business's own website we read; a site that only shows its fees or timetable after scripts run, or on pages we did not read, scores nothing for them. Ties go to more Google reviews, then the name. Nothing else changes a position. No business can pay to be listed or ranked, and nothing is placed by hand.
  7. A page is published only when at least three businesses qualify.

Why these five: they are what parents weigh when they choose exam preparation, and each one is read from Google's own figures or the business's own website, so any parent can check it. Every listing shows its score part by part.

Read on 25 October 2026. Every rated tutor in Perth is ranked by Starworks score on the Perth tutors page, and the same list for Canning Vale is on the Canning Vale Small-Group Tutoring page. How Starworks scores work.

Questions about Small-Group Tutoring in Perth

Who offers small-group tutoring with experienced teachers in Perth?

As of October 2026, ranked by the Starworks exam-prep score (parent reviews, track record, focus on the exam, teaching, and published fees and times), the 25 Perth tutoring businesses whose own websites offer small-group classes are led by Test Champs-WA (previously Scholastic Excellence) (81.3/100: 4.9 stars from 79 Google reviews across 3 listings, running since 2004), followed by Bright Tutorial (64.4/100: 5.0 stars from 7 Google reviews, running since 2014) and High Hopes Tutoring Centre (59.1/100: 4.9 stars from 184 Google reviews). Each listing on this page quotes the business's own website.

How long has each Perth provider of small-group classes been running?

Five of the 25 state a start year on their own websites: Test Champs-WA (previously Scholastic Excellence), since 2004; Bright Tutorial, since 2014; Absorb Knowledge Successfully, since 2006; Accelerated Learning Tutoring Centre, since 1999; Lit Class, since 2018. Of the others, 17 do not state one, and 3 are branches of a larger organisation, whose start year is not counted as theirs.

Why is Test Champs-WA (previously Scholastic Excellence) first?

Test Champs-WA (previously Scholastic Excellence) scores 81.3 out of 100: parent reviews 31.3 of 40 (4.9 stars from 79 Google reviews across 3 listings); track record 20 of 20 (running since 2004, by its own website); focus on small-group classes 10 of 20 (no page of its own website about it among those we read; names a class-size cap, individual attention and progress tracking); teaching 10 of 10 (a stated class-size cap and classes taught by qualified or experienced teachers on its own website); published fees and times 10 of 10 (fees and class times on its own website).

How is this list ordered?

The order is the Starworks exam-prep score, out of 100, worked out the same way for every business: parent reviews 40 (the Google rating across all of the business's listings on this list, each listing counted once, discounted when it rests on few reviews: rating minus 1.645 divided by the square root of the number of reviews, scored from 3.5 up to 5.0); track record 20 (the years since the start year its own website states, full marks at 15; branches of a larger organisation's site do not take the organisation's year); focus on the exam 20 (half for a page of its own website about it, by its address, half for naming at least 2 of the things it covers); teaching 10 (half for a stated class-size cap of 10 or fewer, half for classes taught by qualified or experienced teachers); and published fees and times 10 (half each). Every part is read from Google's figures or the pages of the business's own website we read; a site that only shows its fees or timetable after scripts run, or on pages we did not read, scores nothing for them. Ties go to more Google reviews, then the name. Nothing else changes a position. No business can pay to be listed or ranked, and nothing is placed by hand. Why these five: they are what parents weigh when they choose exam preparation, and each one is read from Google's own figures or the business's own website, so any parent can check it. Every listing shows its score part by part.

What counts as a business offering small-group classes?

The business's own website has to offer small-group classes in a full sentence about what it offers, or on its own price list. Each listing quotes that line and links to where it was published. A review, a sentence in the first person singular or a job ad does not count.

Can a business pay to be listed or to rank higher?

No. No business can pay to be listed or ranked on Starworks, and nothing on this page is placed by hand. A business is listed because its own website offers the service, and its position comes only from the published order.

My business offers small-group classes but is not listed. Why?

The list is built from what each business's own website says. 48 of the 196 Perth tutoring businesses Starworks holds have no website of their own on file, and 17 sites could not be read. If your site does not name the service in a sentence about what you offer or on a price list we read, it will not appear. Say it on your site and it is picked up the next time the list is rebuilt.

How often is this list updated?

This list was built from the businesses' websites as read on 25 October 2026, with Google ratings as Starworks held them that day. It is rebuilt from scratch, by the same rules, whenever it is updated.
