From struggling in English to a top three place
Elena was matched with her tutor Jenna. They share a Google Doc so Jenna can help her plan and edit essays, and lessons move when her schedule changes. In November 2025, starting Year 12, she heard she was receiving an award and a top three place in English.

Common questions
What students and parents ask before starting.
What is the price of a Year 5 English tutor?
From A$65 an hour, the same as maths or any other subject. There's no contract to sign and you pay after each lesson.
What does Year 5 English cover?
Year 5 English asks children to read longer texts and infer meaning, use richer vocabulary, and write persuasive and narrative pieces in paragraphs with correct punctuation. NAPLAN writing in March uses one of those two text types.
Is it worth getting an English tutor for a Year 5 child?
Yes, if reading or writing is holding back other subjects. By Year 5, most learning depends on reading instructions and writing answers, so English gaps start showing up in maths and science too.
How can a tutor improve my child's writing?
By working on your child's own drafts: planning before writing, building paragraphs, choosing stronger words and fixing punctuation. The report after each lesson shows what improved and what to practise next.
Does online English tutoring work for a 10 year old?
Yes. The tutor and your child read and write together on an interactive whiteboard, live. Lessons run after school, in the evening or on weekends, from home.
How do I set up Year 5 English tutoring?
Fill in the short form. An account manager calls within 24 hours, talks through your child's reading and writing, matches a tutor and books the first lesson.
