Real local context
Oscar and Arjun understand ACT schooling, senior college pressure, and the importance of clear support before assessments build up.
About Tutoring Tree
Local Canberra tutoring, run by people who understand the ACT school system.
Tutoring Tree was founded by Oscar Shum and Arjun Rao after going through the ACT school and college system themselves. The goal is practical, personal support that helps students understand concepts, build confidence, and become more independent learners.
Careful tutor matching
Tutors are considered for subject knowledge, communication, reliability, professionalism, and rapport with the student.
Support that is personal
Tutoring is shaped around the student’s goals, learning style, school context, confidence, and current pressure points.
Founders
Arjun Rao and Oscar Shum
Tutoring Tree is not positioned as a faceless marketplace. The strength of the business is hands-on matching, local knowledge, and a teaching philosophy built around clear explanations and confidence.
How we think about tutoring
- Understand the student before choosing the support model.
- Explain concepts in plain language before increasing difficulty.
- Use practice to build confidence, not just to mark mistakes.
- Keep families clear on what happens next.
