English Tutoringfor Prep to Year 12

Private 1-on-1 English tutoring with Tutero is A$65 an hour at every year level, from a Prep student learning to read to a Year 12 student writing exam essays. There is no sign-up fee and no contract, and you pay after each lesson rather than up front.

The hourly rate covers matching with a specialist English tutor, a dedicated account manager, a written report after every lesson in the parent app and free tutor changes. The first lesson comes with a money-back guarantee.

In primary school, English tutoring covers phonics, reading fluency and comprehension, spelling, grammar, and narrative and persuasive writing, including preparation for NAPLAN reading and writing in Years 3 and 5. In Years 7 to 10 it moves to novel and poetry study, analytical paragraphs, text response essays, persuasive speeches and NAPLAN Year 9.

In Years 11 and 12 the tutor works to the student's senior course: VCE English, EAL, Literature or English Language, HSC English Standard, Advanced and Extension, QCE English or Literature, WACE English or Literature ATAR, SACE English or English Literary Studies, TCE English, and IB English A.

Online English lessons with Tutero are live and 1-on-1. The student's paragraph, essay or story goes up on the interactive whiteboard, and the tutor and student work through it line by line: the argument, the choice of evidence and the expression. The student keeps the same tutor each week, so feedback builds from one draft to the next.

Parents usually notice confidence before marks: 98% of students report a lift in confidence after five lessons. Marks tend to follow once the student has taken that feedback into their next piece of assessed writing.

After a short quiz, an account manager calls to learn your child's year level, state, school texts, upcoming assessments and how they like to learn. Tutero then chooses an English tutor from the top 2% of applicants, matched on the course they are studying and on personality.

The first lesson shows the tutor where your child's reading and writing stand and sets goals for the term. If the fit is not right, changing tutors is free.

Yes. Tutors help students plan and draft essays, text responses, creative pieces and speeches for school assessment, working from the task sheet and marking criteria the school has set. They also prepare students for NAPLAN reading and writing, selective school and scholarship writing tests, and senior English exams.

Exam preparation uses timed practice on past prompts, feedback on structure and on how quotes are chosen and analysed, and a revision plan for the weeks before the exam, including the set texts still to be revised.

Tutero's English tutors are selected from the top 2% of applicants and matched to each student by subject and personality. Each tutor's profile shows their specialism, university and results, so you can see who will be working with your child before lessons begin.

Some of the tutors are introduced on this page. The full team is on the Our Tutors page, and your account manager can tell you more about the tutor chosen for your child before the first lesson.

Anywhere in Australia with an internet connection. A student in a regional town has the same choice of English tutors as one in a capital city, with lessons on weekdays, evenings and weekends.

There are dedicated pages for English tutoring in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, and for VCE, HSC, QCE, WACE, SACE and TCE English.

Submit a request with your child's year level and what they need help with, whether that is reading, a class novel or a senior English course. The team will call, then match your child with an English tutor for their course and goals.

The first lesson is a money-back trial: if it is not the right fit, you do not pay. After that there is no contract, so you can book lessons weekly, pause over the holidays or stop at any time.
