Frequently Asked Questions

We currently tutor students from Year 3 through to Year 12, covering all stages of English, from building strong foundations to VCE preparation.

All lessons are held online via Zoom, with lesson material and homework shared in a Google Drive folder.

We are looking forward to opening face-to-face classroom spaces in South-East Melbourne soon!

We ask for a general commitment of at least 1 hour per week to maintain consistency.

We recommend a weekly 1.5-hour lesson — this gives us enough time to review previous work and cover new material deeply.

We use our own original curriculum where every unit is built around a central theme and explored through real books, films, poems, articles, and speeches — chosen for the richness of their ideas and language.

Students work through structured sections covering reading comprehension and text/film study, vocabulary and grammar, oral discussion, and written expression — every resource selected to genuinely engage students with language and the human experience.

Yes, for self-formed groups.

For foundational skill development, students should be in the same year level.

For targeted exam or assessment preparation, students should be in the same school and year level so the content is directly relevant for everyone.

After booking, you'll receive a short skill assessment (reading, text analysis and writing) to complete before the lesson. In the session itself, we spend time getting to know your child's learning profile, then go through the assessment together. Shortly after, you'll receive a personalised curriculum with a full skill summary and an 8-week improvement plan.

Fill out the contact form on our Contact Us page. Include your child's year level and English progress, and we'll be in touch shortly to arrange a call or trial lesson.

Lessons are priced by year level. The trial lesson is a flat $60.

No lock-in.

We do offer discounted 10-week blocks for students who'd like to commit, but there's no obligation. You're welcome to go lesson by lesson.

Absolutely. Usually it comes down to specific gaps or habits that have quietly built up over time, rather than ability. We work to find exactly what those gaps are, why they exist, and fill them in.

Definitely. For students who are ahead, we go beyond the classroom curriculum by introducing more challenging discussions, texts and literature.

You will receive a detailed written plan after the trial lesson. With ongoing lessons, lesson summaries are sent within 24 hours of each lesson.

We keep an open line of communication with parents throughout.
