Student story · English

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.

How much do Year 9 English tutors charge?

Tutero is from A$65 an hour, with no sign-up fee. Pay after each lesson and cancel any time.

How many times a week should you have English tutoring?

Once a week suits most Year 9 students. Add a second lesson before a big essay or NAPLAN if needed, then drop back. With no contract, you can change the schedule any time.

What is in the Year 9 NAPLAN writing test?

Students write one piece, either narrative or persuasive, from a prompt given on the day. It's marked on things like structure, ideas, vocabulary, sentences, spelling and punctuation, so practice on real drafts helps.

Why do Year 9 essays get harder?

Texts get more complex, often including a Shakespeare play or a classic novel, and marks shift towards argument and analysis. Retelling the plot no longer scores well, so you need a thesis and evidence.

Is online English tutoring good for Year 9 students?

It suits English well, because the work is text and drafts, which sit on the shared whiteboard. You and the tutor annotate quotes and rewrite paragraphs live, from home.

How do I start Year 9 English tutoring?

Fill in the short form. An account manager calls within 24 hours, learns about your texts and upcoming tasks, matches a tutor and books the first lesson.
