Both of my sons have received tutoring at the Bondi Rd classrooms of First Education. It has been very effective in terms of significantly increasing their confidence and competence in the subjects of Maths and English. The tutors, Tali and Katherine were attentive and skilled, provided feedback on my son’s progress and were sunny personalities too which meant the boys were always keen to attend. Actively seeing themselves improve in their class test results was motivating and a good indication that the tutoring was a good investment of effort.

Harry and the team and First Education are highly recommended. My son did maths tutoring in a group with Harry and loved the way he made difficult content easy to understand. The advice on exam techniques helped him further improve his results. The team take a personal approach and contacts parents on a regular basis to update on progress as they are there on the journey with your child. Thank you Harry.

First Education Bondi are a great tutoring service. Harry provided a really thorough service, finding the right tutor for our child and regularly checking in to see how things were progressing.

The team at First Education were excellent in helping my son prepare for HSC maths. Their efforts and expertise, particularly Harry Mav, helped him hone his skills and gain confidence in exam technique. He found the sessions really engaging, and said he gained study skills to apply across his other subjects too. I highly recommend First Education to other families.

The team in Bondi was really great . Very thoughtful and invested in the process . I loved the fact that there was a lot of pro active following up and checking in on the progress of the student . Harry and his team are clearly understanding the situations of their students and I must say it gave me some sense of calmness knowing that they are supporting our HSC girl . Her tutor Natasha has been invaluable because she understood our daughters needs and found a way of pushing her forward. I m confident our girl will get the best possible result despite the maths being her greatest challenge.Thank you First Education team for accompanying us on this journey

I highly recommend First Education, especially Daniel Agmesheh as a tutor. He really knows his stuff and has a knack for explaining tricky concepts in a way that makes sense. Daniel creates a relaxed, supportive atmosphere that helped my son feel comfortable and confident (and he’s a picky little fella. Hardly likes anyone and absolutely loves going to Daniel’s sessions).Daniel customizes his approach to fit my son’s needs, so he gets the help he really needs. Whether my son is struggling with specific topics or just looking to improve, Daniel’s dedication and skill make him a fantastic choice.Always thinks outside the box! You won’t regret working with Daniel or anyone else here!

We especially would like toMention Tarrant and Jordan who have guided and tutored our son this past year. He feels confident to tackle the HSC now.Many thanks

5 stars all the way. I contacted First Education looking for year 12 Economics & Maths tutors in term 3. My requirements were very specific and also very last minute. Harry & his staff found the right tutors really fast after listening to what was needed. Jordan & Finnegan are excellent tutors, very patient and understanding, and they know the curriculum. Luci (admin) & Harry checked in along the way to make sure all was going well. They have several centres so even assisted when one location was more convenient than the other. I can’t thank everyone enough, honestly, First Education arrived with the life jackets when I sent out the distress call!

My 14 year old son has been having tutoring at First Ed. Bondi.What a fantastic experience. Harry and all his staff are absolutely delightful, helpful and super caring.

I cannot rate First Education Bondi highly enough. The tutoring was outstanding, my son absolutely loved going and Thea (his tutor) was always checking back with me to see if I was satisfied (which I absolutely was!).First Education also provided extra help during the holidays putting on practice Selective Schools Tests. These all helped to make my son feel really happy with his performance on the day.

Our goal for our daughter was a spot at a selective High School. Her Maths grades were school average but we knew this needed to improve to give her the best chance. A year of tutoring with the fabulous Shyla drastically improved my daughter’s Maths confidence, her test scores soared and yes she did snag a selective spot. A+++

First Education tutoring is unlike any other tutoring company I tried over my journey to finish school, broadcasting passion, understanding, care, knowledge and expertise in order to prioritise your learning and understanding of the syllabus and it’s content. With easy to follow notes and hand selected questions to test your knowledge, First Education tutoring follows a systematic but flexible program that ensures all students get high quality tutoring, no matter their learning strengths or weaknesses. Whether it was an early morning or a weekend night, Harry was always happy to help and talk through any misunderstandings or problems you were having with questions. I couldn’t thank First Education enough for the immense guidance and help it had in achieving my HSC goals.

Mitchell Caponas

02:40 24 Jan 21

First education was one of the highlights of my HSC experience. Not only was it an impeccable educational tuition centre that aided students with academics better than most tuition centres, it also provided its students with a fantastic sense of community and fun. Each week I looked forwarded to heading to tutoring because it was an opportunity to see friends and have a great time with the class, much to the credit of Harry who gave us a sense of family. Best tutor ever! And a great friend

Jack Smith

23:43 21 Jan 21

Over the last 4 years and through my hsc journey I have had a variety of tutors and tutoring companies - none of which can be compared in quality or commitment to my academic performance than first education. Whether it was the weekend or 11pm the night before the exam, Harry was always available and keen to help with any problems I was having. His positivity kept me going throughout the hsc and I would highly recommend tutoring to any student.

Janice Nyoto

07:39 21 Jan 21

I joined Harry’s 4u maths group tutoring during the holidays before trials which truthfully has brought up my marks and confidence that, at the end, became something I was proud of. The consistent process of doing past papers and Harry’s excellent explanation for the questions we got wrong made studying for 4u less stressful and more enjoyable. I also did the same process for 3u with First Education which has definitely paid off well! Harry’s passion for maths also made tutoring highly enjoyable as we were exposed to cool things outside the syllabus that extended our understanding. Thanks Harry!

Niki Sko

03:23 21 Jan 21

I had an excellent learning experience with supportive, knowledgeable tutors that comprehensively covered the syllabus. This greatly increased my confidence and performance in my exams. Thanks First Ed!

I attended tutoring for Math for both yr 11 and yr 12. It was really helpful as a student to go in every week and review what we did in class + some related questions that helped me better understand the concepts. All the tutors, Harry and Andrew care a lot about the students and try to find new and different ways in order to explain topics and create a welcoming environment. I felt motivated to learn and it was a nice/fun environment to attend every week. Definitely recommend to anyone who is stuggling even the slightest!

My Year 12 daughter missed a large chunk of her schooling last year and needed catching up in Math. Her tutor was amazing, she felt comfortable and motivated to work hard and was able to catch up her gaps in knowledge in a very short period of time. Her tutor and all the staff are amazing. They take time to understand the needs of the student and tailor their teaching to help them get the best results.

I can say from my experience of accomplishing the HSC in 2024, First Education was an enormous help in my darkest hour!3-4 weeks before my ancient history examination, I felt completely lost. My teacher was sadly quite unwell, and I personally couldn’t understand the logic and reasoning behind the style of writing required for the subject.However, having been matched with a wonderful tutor, it brought so much clarity not only to the writing style, but also the mark ratio to the amount of sources I needed and also the necessity to maintain conciseness in my points. It brought me so much peace of mind!Thank you Harry Mav and the First Education team! You guys really lifted me up.

My son Ary yr 8, was only taught maths one way in school, but there are many ways to teach maths ,just have to find the way it works for u.Jonathan Tudor at first ED found a way which worked for my boy.Did his homework without me trying to go back 20yrs of memory and googling for hours to help my son. Jonathan is great , friendly, respectful and his teaching methods work. I'm glad we got him and didnt have to go tudor Hunting. Can't put a price on my kid, esp when results were 4 weeks in with FD was 26/35 in maths test ,b4 4weeks it was 5/30 and he studied for this one, confidence wasn't an issue but how to save knowledge as a memory tool was for my son. They gave support and patience while Going through crisis.I recommend Jonathan, U well see a results.

I want to send a huge shout out to Maria at First Education Earlwood, she really was a wonderful inspiration to my daughter Sophie who was doing her HSC in 2023.

These guys go above and beyond to cater to your every need and without them, I can confidently say that I would not have achieved as well as I did in my final year. I’d like to give special thanks to George, Harry, Sebastian and Steven for their unlimited support, inside and outside the classroom throughout my time with them. They made every lesson more engaging and productive than the last and I could not recommend a more caring or nurturing environment! 😄

The Earlwood team are first class and go above and beyond both academically and emotionally to ensure our children are learning and supported. My daughter had the pleasure of being tutored by Steven in the lead up to her HSC exams. Not only was he a brilliant tutor academically, but also took on the role of counsellor, mentor and friend. God bless you always Steven and thank you for the endless chats about anything and being Mia's tower of strength during these past months.

First Ed. is a great tutoring centre that treats every student like family. Both group and individual tutoring sessions were completed to the highest of standards and due to this I was able to become confident with subjects I had once struggled with. Endless amounts of resources are also available such as, past papers and exam style questions. Thanks for everything Harry!

Awesome experience here at First Education! Extremely professional tutors. Without them I would have never achieved the mark I got in my HSC. I shocked myself with the results I achieved and I’m thankful to my tutors who helped me achieve this!Would definitely recommend to any student wishing to improve their results.

02:34 09 Jul 20

By far my favourite part of year 12. Harry taught the maths content amazingly and made it so much fun. If it wasn’t for first education I wouldn’t have been prepared for the hsc as much as I was. I looked forward to tutoring and the preparations for exams were excellent. I truly believe I wouldn’t have received a band 6 for maths without their help.

Athan Toskas

02:24 09 Jul 20

Without a doubt the best place to be tutored, I was tutored at first ED for maths throughout my schooling experience. Without the extensive support I received I wouldn’t of been able to receive the band 6 I acquired. Other than highly educated tutors, the culture at first ED was something that made me look forward to going tutoring weekly. Additionally, the ease of building relationships with my tutor made my stressful years of exams that much easier. I highly recommend first education, whether it’s to assist with someone who may be struggling or someone who is looking to further develop there knowledge. Having started tutoring at a younger age at first Ed, assisted with understanding fundamental concepts that still help me to this day.

Since my daughter started attending First Education Earlwood I have noticed significant improvement in her work and so has her class teacher. My daughter loves her tutor and I highly reccomend Harry and the team from First Education.

My wife and I are very happy with the care, quality and professionalism that the team at First Education have shown over the last two years. When our son commenced his tuition there, we noticed an improvement in his attitude and the way he applied himself to his studies. Even his teachers started to notice this and commended him for it. Thank you to Harry and the team at First Education Earlwood for all their hard work and support. We have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone looking to help their kids improve in their learning and grades.

I cannot recommend Harry and First Education enough!!! My sons grades improved almost instantly and his dedication to school also. The encouragement he receives has helped not only his grades but is confidence and ability to learn.

A wonderful help, when you cannot help your child with that dreadful maths homework. First Education is here to relieve all your stress. My daughter has greatly benefited with the one on one tuition, something school cannot offer. Thanks for all your help, First Education!

First education had been fantastic and has helped my son advance in 2u maths. My son has developed more confidence in himself and the good results are showing in his school assessments. The tutors are friendly and very knowledgeable and work very professionally in helping the students understand the concepts rather than just wrote learning answers to problems. I recommend first education to anyone wanting to improve their subject knowledge to gain every advantage in the HSC.My son Peter took so well to first education that he advanced so much, that he was eventually asked to be a tutor. He tutored Maths for 4 years at First Education and he thoroughly enjoyed his time there and helping the young students advance in their math studies.My son has now nearly completed hi maths secondary teacher degree and has been offered a job at Holy spirit and unfortunately is unable to continue as a tutor. Because of First Education he has become an exemplary teacher, who is now very sought after at most high schools and he is doing absolute wonders in helping other children in their maths journey.I am forever indebted to Harry and his team at First Ed who are first class and very professional in the way they go about their business. They have been great to deal with and I wish them all the best in their future success in helping many teens reach their goals in life as my son has.

First education offers great support and structure, especially where there are gaps in learning. Sofala is giving my daughter so much confidence that we are seeing improvements in all her school work. We have done group tutoring sessions - however find that the one on one support at first education is far superior at improving self confidence and learning outcomes.

Caring, committed and competent tutoring demonstrated the valuable aid of having a neutral study buddy to support school learning and to engender student confidence in tackling the HSC. Our student's tutor, Angelique is astute, attentive, competent and an empathetic communicator who gave her personal attention to the needs of her student. Thank you FEM for creating a worthwhile and affirming tutoring experience. Freda Backes (granny)

I can't speak highly enough about First Education Maroubra! From day one, the staff have been nothing short of amazing—caring, understanding, and truly invested in my child's success. A big THANK YOU to Angelique and Mary for creating such a positive, fun, and encouraging environment where learning feels less like a chore and more like a rewarding experience. My child not only improved academically but also gained so much confidence. Harry fosters a community, where every student and tutor is supported and valued.

As an ex-student of First-Ed, if any parents or students are looking to get tutored here I highly recommend it. All the tutors and centre managers are always happy to see you and help you gain confidence in whatever you’re studying. Because of them I got through my exams with both great prep and amazing friends that cheered me on and supported me every step of the way. To reiterate, I highly recommend. 10/10

My son, Benjamin has been very pleased with his tutoring lessons since he started in 2022. He believes it has been extremely helpful to get him through the past two years. Emanuel was Ben's tutor and Ben said he was very good. He understood everything Emanuel taught & found himself helping his fellow students when they needed help. Emanuel is friendly & easy to communicate with. First Education has also been very understanding, working with me to find a better payment plan that suited us, to make transactions easier. I am very happy that we sent Ben to First Education & that he had such a friendly understanding & knowledgeable tutor. We would highly recommend First Education if you are seeking a Tutor.Thank you Emanuel & First Education.Christine Jenner

We have had one to one tutoring for a whole term- my son really enjoyed his teaching sessions with his tutor. In the school holidays however, he did the Naplan prep courses (4 sessions over 2 days) and absolutely loved it - he raved on about Natalie and when I came to pick him up on the last day, he did not want to go home!From my side, the exams were a good reflection of what he will be expecting this year and the immediate feedback I think is also helpful! We now have areas of improvement to work on!We will definitely at the very least be back for all the holiday workshops!

Harry and the team at First Education are an exceptional team. My son has been attending First Education for many years now and has just completed his HSC and I can’t be happier with level of care, attention and effort by all of his tutors over this time. He has had the time of his life and enjoyed the experiences and the friendships that he’s made over these years. A big thank you to Harry and all his team to making it such a happy, educational and easy place to be once a week.

First Education provided me with so much support in areas that I struggled with. The tutors are extremely helpful and are always willing to chat to you about anything. It has such a great environment of both learning and fun, which is why I would recommend it to any student that needs just an extra bit of help or even a lot.

At the beginning of my HSC year I was tutored by Thomas for English, my marks had changed dramatically. He not only helped me gain an extensive amount of skills but gave me the confidence and courage I needed to push myself, which gained the marks I was striving for. First education has a very friendly and welcoming environment with staff that are positive and motivated to push the students to the best of their ability.

I highly recommend First Education Maroubra to any student who is looking for extra confidence in their subjects. Harry and his team of tutors are very motivated and enthusiastic about the subjects they teach, making the learning experience more enjoyable. After just completing the HSC, I can confidently say that my marks would have been very different without the community at First Education. From being able to sit practice papers in the holidays (free of cost), their large variety of teaching resources and complete and ongoing support, I couldn’t recommend this tuition service enough!

First Education is a friendly environment that has dedicated staff and professional tutors who are positive, intelligent and truly care about their students, giving them the confidence to do their best. It is also very beneficial that students are given the opportunity to sit as many practice exams as they would like at the centre before trials and the HSC, making these time periods less stressful. I highly recommend First Education!

First Education has been one of the best investments in helping our son achieve his highest potential. With Joanna’s help in Advanced Maths he has developed a solid understanding of the subject and will walk into the HSC exam with confidence.We are incredibly grateful to not only Joanna, but also to Mary and Harry for the support they have provided; they have ensured we (the parents) have remained connected in this learning journey the whole way.This is definitely a service we will continue to use to help our other kids reach their potential and I would highly recommend to others!Thanks Joanna, Harry and Mary!

I have three children who all attended First Education. My daughter in 2019 and currently my two sons one in Year 12 and the other In year 10.Harry Mav the Director of First Education is highly professional and an excellent leader. He is very thoughtful and understanding nothing is a problem. It’s the little things that count!! He is constantly looking at ways to improve his service delivery. He values constructive feedback. He follows up on student’s learning progress making sure the tutors are the right mix.Then there is the Centre Manager Mary who is absolutely amazing!!! I can’t sing her praises highly enough. Nothing is a problem she will ALWAYS find a way to accommodate your child’s needs.Mary is efficient, compassionate, positive and professional. She will follow up making sure your child is happy with their tutor. If there is an issue she will come up with strategies to resolveit.The tutors are well resourced and dedicated. Always encouraging the child to learn, in a positive manner, to reach their full potential.I can’t recommend Harry and his team at First Education enough. Do yourself a favour if your child needs assistance with learning give First Education a call. It will be the BEST phone call you have ever made!!

Harry and his team at First Education have been amazing to say the least. Both my husband and I have been beyond impressed. They have been thorough, dedicated, positive (in spite of everything!), tirelessly hardworking and have given my twins not only the tactics and techniques in their year 12 maths work but also the confidence! They have loved the journey!Most importantly First Education is easy to deal with, a very honest company and I was impressed that I was given feedback on my twins progress regularly. I would, without hesitation recommend First Education to anyone who is looking for a tutoring company for their child.Lisa Speranza

The Team at First Education Maroubra are amazing.My daughter who is currently in Year 12 has been a student at the Centre since May 2020 and has said to me “I wish we knew about the Centre earlier”Harry Mav the Director is the definition of a true and inspirational leader! His care and compassion was evident from the first time I spoke with him. Since then he has taken the time to check up on my daughter’s learning experience and progress making sure that all was going well and that she was happy with her tutors and learning and First Education. What an absolute star!The Centre Manager Mary is professional, kind and made my daughter feel welcome and comfortable from the start which is a rare find especially during COVID!!Her tutors are dedicated, positive and constantly encouraging and are a credit to Harry and his team at First Education!

I loved first education!! The flexibility of the tutors and their ability to adapt to each students specific needs makes it a stress free environment. Additionally, the ability to sit as many practice exams as you want before trials and before HSC is so amazing for preparation. It’s a stress free environment for what can sometimes be a very stressful period. Definitely recommend!

Amazing staff members who are always eager to tutor students with a smile. Never felt the need to pretend to know things that I did not as they completely acknowledge that every student has different strengths and weaknesses without being judgmental, and classes are taught in a manner that is easy and fun to understand. Highly recommend for students studying for their HSC and struggling to catch up.

From its welcoming and friendly environment to little extra bonus’s throughout the year, First Ed helped greatly during the most difficult year of school. I was tutored for a number of subjects and my needs were met for every subject. Also holiday sessions really helped with keeping me focused and on track with work towards the HSC period. Highly recommend First Ed!

Josh Thomas

08:51 09 Jul 20

Everyone at First education is extremely welcoming and friendly which made it a very comfortable environment to work in, I’m usually very easily distracted but going here made sure I was able to have a healthy balance between talking with the tutors and getting to understand the schoolwork. All of my tutors were competent and able to communicate their methods to me clearly which made harder subjects like physics so much easier. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it to others.

My experience going to the tutoring lessons given by Harry and his team over at First Education was nothing short of absolutely brilliant. My confidence while going through my HSC year greatly increased thanks to the help and support I received in these classes especially in maths, which is a subject I struggled with for majority of high school. The tutors are friendly and hugely supportive in helping their students achieve their goals and achieving the best possible results.

Charlie Stinson

Harry is an excellent maths tutor who explains concepts well and provides support beyond just the maths in any way that is necessary. He also puts a lot of effort in working with the other tutors to ensure that the quality of education provided by First Education is second to none. I highly recommend this centre to any high school student who wants to improve their results and have fun in the process.

I went to First Education back in 2012 for both Maths and Physics. To date, one of the best learning experiences. Harry had a way of explaining things easily that even the content I found hard I was able to learn them. The experience also leaves you with a great relationship with your mentors.

My daughter started tutoring with Lilla this term and I saw an almost immediate change in her confidence. She enjoys doing school work now & is keen to get her homework done to the best of her ability. Lilla has made a great change in her attitude. I highly recommend First Education, the team are friendly & helpful & very organised. They check in with feedback often. My daughter had a video conference this week due to restrictions & said it was as good as being in person, so it's great you've been able to keep things as normal as possible for your students. Thank you Lilla, Mary & Harry!!!

My daughter loves coming to First Education Maroubra every week. Harry and his team provide such a warm and positive environment for her to be in. From the moment you walk in the office and greeted by Mary who’s so lovely and friendly to my daughter’s incredible tutor who she calls Miss Karly who she absolutely loves and adores, has made such an impact on her learning which she is enjoying so much! I also love the regular feedback on her progress. Harry and the team are truly just beautiful people who really cares about the students and families. If you are thinking of coming here do it- you will not be disappointed! Highly recommend First Education. Thank you Harry, Mary, Karly and team you guys are simply the best we love you!
