About KeirEd
Clear teaching.
High expectations.
People who care.
KeirEd is run by Leah, a qualified teacher, and Jake, who trained as a scientist. We built it so students understand what they’re learning and know how to improve, and so parents always know who to call.
Families choose one-on-one tutoring from Prep to Year 12 or a small-group Program for Queensland students in Years 7 to 12. One-on-one lessons run online anywhere in Australia, or in your home in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and the other capital cities.
Both calls are free. Booking a call doesn’t enrol your child or take payment.

Who we are
Built by a teacher and a scientist
Leah looks after how students are taught, and Jake looks after how KeirEd runs. When you have a question about your child, you deal with one of us.
Co-founder and qualified teacher
Leah Hider
Leah brings a teacher’s perspective to the learning: clear explanations, purposeful practice and the right level of challenge. Her focus is helping students build understanding they can use on their own.
Leah holds a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) with Distinction and is registered with the Queensland College of Teachers. She teaches Maths from Prep to Year 12, including Essential Mathematics, Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics, plus Science from Prep to Year 10 and Chemistry. She has tutored for 7 years, has classroom teaching experience and reviews KeirEd’s curriculum guides.
Founder and director
Jake Keir
A scientist by training, Jake brings an analytical approach to the Programs and the day-to-day running of KeirEd. He takes every Tutor Match Call himself, and he or Leah chooses each family’s tutor.
“Leah and Jake have been fantastic, if I have any questions or concerns they are always the ones that sort it out with no hesitation.”
Why we run it this way
We choose the tutor. You don’t scroll a list.
On a tutoring marketplace, you pick a tutor from a list of profiles and manage it yourself from there. With KeirEd, we choose the tutor with you and stay involved after the first lesson.
A founder on the first call
Jake talks with every one-on-one family before the first lesson, and you see the tutor’s profile before you start.
Teachers and top students in the subject
Our tutors are a mix of teachers and top-performing university students in the subjects they tutor. We choose between them based on what suits your child.
Interviewed and checked
Every tutor has an interview with an ID check and a review of their experience and references, and holds the working with children clearance their state requires.
A note after every lesson
The tutor writes to you after each lesson about what your child worked on and what’s still giving them trouble. Every 10 lessons you also get a progress report.
How we teach
Understanding comes first. Then we raise the challenge.
Strong results need more than a worked solution. A student has to recognise which ideas apply, and use them when a question looks unfamiliar.
In our Programs, each student works at the workbook level that suits them, and moves up as their understanding and assessment results develop.
Learn with the class
Weekly live online lessons, with 7 students or fewer, combine clear explanations with guided practice and time to ask questions.
Make the learning stick
Graded workbooks, compendiums and full practice exams build from core skills to complex questions. Resources are available digitally, as printed copies delivered to you, or both.
Get help and go further
Your child can book unlimited 30-minute one-on-one video consultations. As they show mastery, they unlock the high-performance pathway: our hardest questions and extension work.

Our standard
Ambition, with support behind it
In Years 7 to 10, we focus on the foundations that make senior study more manageable. In Years 11 and 12, our Programs support students aiming for 90 or more out of 100 in their QCE subjects.
That is a goal to work towards, not a promised result.
We help students find what needs work and practise it, then take on the next level when they’re ready.
Safety and contact
You should know who to contact
Families should feel comfortable asking questions about their child’s learning, and know the standards our tutors work to.
Child safety
Every tutor holds the working with children clearance their state requires, such as a Queensland Blue Card. Tutors only contact students through approved channels, never personal phones, email or social media.
