English Tutoring for Australian School Success
This is the English your child is graded on at school, not English for new arrivals or migrants. English tutoring in Australia means text analysis, essay structure and the writing technique senior certificates reward.
Scheduling Around Your Term
Sessions booked around school and activities nationwide, with extra availability during assessment weeks and the run-up to trials and final examinations.
Clear Australian Pricing
Priced in Australian dollars, with nothing charged to enrol and no term you are tied into. Two children can draw on the same plan, or one student can split it between English and a second subject.
Marked Against Real Criteria
Written work is assessed against the marking guidelines or study design criteria your child’s teacher uses, so feedback translates into marks rather than general encouragement.
Australian Curriculum English
Foundation Through Year 12
Covering ACARA’s Language, Literature and Literacy strands to Year 10, then the senior English subjects of your state certificate, whether that is VCE, the HSC, QCE, WACE or SACE.
Language & Literacy
Phonics and fluency in the early years, developing into vocabulary, grammar, and the control of written expression that senior marking rewards.
Literature & Text Analysis
Reading and responding to literary, persuasive and multimodal texts, building the analytical vocabulary senior English assumes.
Writing & Composition
Narrative, persuasive and analytical writing, including the text response and comparative essays that dominate senior assessment.
English Is Compulsory in Every Australian Senior Certificate
A student cannot avoid it, and in most states an English result is required for an ATAR, which makes it the one subject worth protecting above all others.
Your Child’s English Roadmap, Year by Year
Our online English tutoring builds reading stamina and essay technique steadily, rather than cramming both into Year 12.
Foundation to Year 6
Phonics, fluency and comprehension, moving from decoding words to understanding whole texts. NAPLAN assesses reading, writing and language conventions in Years 3 and 5.
- Reading fluency
- Paragraph & narrative writing
Years 7 & 8
Inference, textual evidence and structured paragraphs. This is where students learn to support a point with quotation rather than retell what happened in the story.
- Inference & evidence
- Structured paragraphs
Years 9 & 10
Extended analytical writing, persuasive technique and close study of set texts, plus the final NAPLAN writing task in Year 9.
- Analytical essay structure
- Persuasive & language analysis
Years 11 & 12
Senior English under your state certificate: text response, comparative and language analysis in VCE, the Common Module and electives in the HSC, analytical essays in QCE.
- Text response & comparative
- Exam essay technique
