How it works

It asks before it answers.

This is a real Year 5 fractions moment. SubjectMate could give the answer in one line. It does not, because the child who works it out is the one who still knows it in Year 8.

  • Hints escalate if they stay stuck
  • Never leaves them stranded

I don’t get how to add 2/3 and 1/4
This is the big one for Year 5, so let us do it properly. You cannot add them while the pieces are different sizes. What number could both 3 and 4 divide into evenly? Find that and you are most of the way there.
SubjectMate always asks your child to think first before explaining. This is what builds real understanding rather than just completed homework.
Why parents choose it

Homework gets done. Understanding grows too.

They work it out themselves

Built by an Australian teacher to guide rather than hand over answers, because that is the difference between finishing homework and learning.

Homework help the moment it is needed, and revision the night before a test. SubjectMate never cancels and is never fully booked.

Follows their actual syllabus

Your child selects their state at signup and every explanation matches the curriculum their own school is teaching this term.

The average private tutor in Australia charges $80 to $120 per hour. SubjectMate is $39 a month, with no limit on sessions and no booking required.

Parent reviews

What primary families tell us.

Year 5 NAPLAN Numeracy

“We used the NAPLAN practice tool for a few weeks before the test. She understood why answers were right or wrong, not just what they were. She came home saying it was fine.”

Year 4 Reading

“My daughter has always struggled with longer texts. The voice feature changed everything for her. By Term 3 her teacher said she was a completely different student in class.”
