"KIS turned my child's maths grades from the 70s to consistent 90s."

Parent of a KIS Academics student

Honours is for families who are serious about preparation and want more than a tutoring marketplace can offer.

We accept a limited number of students each term.

Every tutor is selected from Australia's top 0.1% of graduates, matched by hand.

We maintain the relationship — you never have to chase anything.

Not a marketplace

Most services give you a shortlist and leave you to choose. We give you one person — the right one — and we stand behind that recommendation.

Top 0.1% only

Every tutor is drawn from KIS Academics' Executive tier — the highest-rated, most experienced. Average ATAR 99.50.

We manage the relationship

Progress reviews. Curriculum adjustments. You stay informed without having to chase — we handle it.

Advisory, not just sessions

Your tutor is a consistent presence across the full preparation — not a single lesson, an academic relationship.

Average tutoring starts cold — no intake, no strategy, just sessions. KIS begins with a free consultation. Honours begins with a structured Introduction that maps gaps and sets strategy before the first lesson. That front-loaded work is why Honours students are already ahead on day one.

KIS Academics internal review audit

"She helped me achieve a 90+ ATAR. In both Legal Studies and English I achieved an A grade — she was a massive contributing factor to this with her brilliant teaching style."

Lewis, VCE Student

"Olivia has helped me for the last 3.5 years with maths and my grades have increased from a C– to now A and A+."

Jessica Saunders, HSC Student

"Idan built my confidence with Maths Methods. My understanding and results improved significantly over the year."

Tiana Hardie, VCE Student

"My daughter Imogen has been working with Lucy for nine months now, and honestly, we couldn't be happier. Lucy's patience is incredible — she keeps things fun and engaging and Imogen has never felt discouraged."

Andy Lee, Honours Parent

"I have seen both his confidence and school results improve a lot in Maths over the past two years. Heramb has developed a friendly and trusting relationship with my son."

Yin-Yao, Honours Parent

"We were nervous at first — we'd been told online tutoring likely wouldn't work for him. After six weeks with Charlotte twice a week, it's been such a positive experience."

Natalie, Honours Parent

"Mehdia was my daughter's tutor and she was just amazing throughout. Very knowledgeable as well as kind and encouraging. We definitely saw an improvement in results."

Fatima K., Honours Parent

Nicholas Zagon
Honours Founder · CEO, KIS Academics

Nicholas holds degrees in Computer Science and Business Analytics, specialising in Cyber Security — a background that shaped both how he thinks about complex systems and how he reads where the world is heading.

As CEO of KIS Academics, Nicholas leads an organisation built on the conviction that exceptional tutoring must be rigorously vetted — fewer than 1% of tutor applicants are accepted. He created Honours because the stakes facing this generation are genuinely high: AI disruption, intensifying competition for university places, and a growing premium on exceptional human thinking demand a different standard of preparation.

Honours is built for families who already know their student needs excellent guidance — and who want someone to handle the selection and relationship on their behalf. You're not here because your child is struggling. You're here because the stakes are high and you want to be certain you have the right person. If that sounds like you, we're likely a good fit.

Standard KIS connects families with tutors from a vetted pool — it's self-managed and excellent for most students. Honours is different in two ways: every tutor is drawn exclusively from our Executive tier, and we manage the entire relationship on your behalf. You don't browse, compare, or chase updates. We make one recommendation, stand behind it, and stay involved throughout the engagement.

Most families notice a shift in the first four to six weeks — particularly in confidence and exam approach. Because your tutor is selected specifically for your student's curriculum and learning style, there's no settling-in period. Our tutors arrive ready. Measurable grade improvements typically follow within a term.

Every Honours tutor is drawn from our Executive tier — the top of the KIS pool, available from $150 per session. Most Honours engagements run across a full school term or more. The exact structure — session frequency, subject focus, and any additional advisory — is worked out in our initial conversation. There are no hidden fees and no lock-in contracts.

Tell us about your student.

Honours tutors are drawn from our Executive tier — sessions from $150. No lock-in contracts. Structure, frequency, and subjects are agreed in your initial conversation.

We read every submission personally. You'll hear back within 24 hours.

No pricing. No commitment. Just a conversation.

Thank you. We'll be in touch within 24 hours.
