About us

Is your child falling behind in school, losing confidence, or not reaching their full potential?

We understand the stress parents face when their child is falling behind, feeling lost in large classrooms, or losing confidence due to poor grades. That’s why our tailored, curriculum-aligned tutoring focuses on building strong foundational skills, boosting academic performance, and restoring confidence—one student at a time.
With a nurturing environment, small group settings, and expert tutors who truly care, Unicorn Academy helps students not just survive school, but thrive in it. From everyday subjects to selective school entrance exam prep and scholarship coaching, our structured programs are results-driven and parent-approved.

Unicorn Academy Australia is Adelaide’s trusted hub for transformative after-school tutoring, designed to help students overcome academic hurdles and unlock their true potential. We specialize in supporting students from Reception to Year 12, whether they’re struggling to keep up, lacking motivation, or aiming to get ahead.

Mission

"Education is not a transaction—it’s a transformation."

Our mission is to create a learning sanctuary where students reconnect with the joy of deep learning. We go beyond content delivery—cultivating curiosity, discipline, and academic mastery through personalised, face-to-face teaching grounded in traditional educational values. From early learners to high achievers, we empower each child to excel not just in exams, but in character, clarity of thought, and lifelong learning.

Our Vision

"Reviving the timeless art of teaching."

"Reviving the timeless art of teaching."

We aim to nurture thoughtful, resilient learners through a wholistic approach that places Mathematics, Science, and English at the heart of intellectual and personal growth. In a fast-paced, tech-driven world, we choose depth over distraction, building minds that think, solve, and communicate with clarity and confidence.
