Our Story
Affordable Tutoring Tasmania emerged in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic when founder, Billy Blackett, began helping students struggling with online learning. Since July 2020, ATT has engaged over 60 tutors and is leading tutoring platform in Tasmania.
Meet Our Founder
Hi! My name is Billy and I am the founder of Affordable Tutoring Tasmania. After I left college in 2019, I was eager to forward my passion for learning onto others and, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, began tutoring students who were struggling with online learning.
​
My love for working with young people quickly became a full-time job, and, in 2020, I founded Affordable Tutoring Tasmania, a local tutoring business that aims to provide students from Kinder to Year 12 with affordable and high-quality tutoring delivered by young people like myself.
Several years on and Affordable Tutoring Tasmania has engaged over 60 tutors across the state and has delivered many thousands of lessons. Our platform currently offers students of all ages and abilities in-home tutoring in every subject; from literacy and numeracy for primary students, right through to Maths, Science, English and more for college students.​
​
Tutoring on our platform is often delivered by Tasmania’s brightest young achievers, many of which have previous experience with youth and have recently navigated the schooling system with outstanding results. This model has had seen fantastic improvement in our students, as our tutors are able to build a strong rapport with students and connect as role models for them. I am incredibly passionate about giving each child the same opportunity to engage in the classroom and to feel like they are making progress in their studies, which is why we continue to cater for students around Tasmania from all walks of life.
