ADF Tutoring through the Education Assistance Scheme (EAS)

ADF Tutoring through the Education Assistance Scheme (EAS)

We welcome Defence families with approved Education Assistance Scheme (EAS) tutoring funding. Our experienced, qualified teachers provide one-to-one online ADF tutoring in English and mathematics for students in Years 2–9 across Australia. Our tutoring combines individually planned teaching, consistent educator relationships and attention to academic needs and student wellbeing during school transitions.

EAS Tutoring Overview

Teacher-Led Tutoring During Defence Relocations

A posting-related school change can bring unfamiliar classroom expectations, differences in curriculum sequencing and changes to learning routines. Tutoring provides an opportunity to address specific learning needs while students adjust to their new school.

Our educators use curriculum knowledge and classroom experience to identify gaps, explain unfamiliar concepts and adapt teaching to reflect individual school expectations. Sessions are structured and individually planned, with teaching adjusted in real time through professional judgement rather than scripts or fixed programs.

How EAS Tutoring Supports Students

Educators explain concepts, model strategies and guide practice in the areas identified for tutoring. Familiar routines and a consistent educator relationship support confidence as students adjust to their new school.

Alongside English and mathematics, educators may teach planning, organisation and self-monitoring strategies, according to the student’s needs and the scope of their approved tutoring. Students learn to check their understanding, recognise when to seek support and apply their understanding independently.

Who EAS Tutoring Supports

A student may understand a subject well but encounter content taught in a different order at their new school. Others need help strengthening foundations, interpreting unfamiliar tasks or organising schoolwork while settling in.

Academic pressure or anxiety about schoolwork may become more noticeable during a school transition. Some students seek frequent reassurance, hesitate to attempt unfamiliar tasks or spend longer than needed trying to make work perfect. Educators respond through clear explanations, manageable steps and guided practice, with attention to student wellbeing alongside meaningful academic challenge.

Tutoring is tailored to each student’s learning needs, strengths and school context within their approved EAS arrangements. Educators take time to understand how each student approaches challenges and when to provide guidance or encourage greater independence.

EAS Funding Approval And Applications

The ADF Education Assistance Scheme (EAS) may provide tutoring assistance where Defence approves that support. Eligibility for the scheme does not by itself confirm approval for tutoring.

Families arrange EAS tutoring approval directly with Defence before enquiring about funded sessions with us. Defence determines eligibility, approved funding limits, supporting documentation and claim conditions. We do not guide or manage applications. Please contact Defence for current requirements and application assistance.
