Support for English
Support follows the English work your child is doing at school, from understanding a text to planning, drafting and refining a response.
Tutors can help students slow down a difficult passage, test an interpretation and turn ideas into a clear structure. Sessions can respond to current texts and tasks while building reading, writing and communication skills that transfer across subjects.
Years 7–8
Build confidence with increasingly complex texts, evidence-based interpretation, purposeful writing and discussion for different audiences and contexts.
Years 9–10
Develop more sustained analysis, evaluate perspectives and language choices, and craft controlled written and spoken texts in preparation for senior English.
01
Reading, viewing and interpretation
Read beyond plot or surface meaning. In Years 7–8, students examine how ideas, characters, settings and language shape a text. In Years 9–10, they compare more complex perspectives, contexts and choices made by authors and creators. Tutors can model close reading and help your child support an interpretation with evidence.
02
Writing and creating texts
Move from an idea to a deliberate, well-shaped response. In Years 7–8, students develop structure, paragraphing, vocabulary and control for analytical, persuasive and imaginative tasks. In Years 9–10, they make more precise choices for purpose, audience and effect, and revise their work with greater independence.
03
Speaking, listening and language choices
Develop ideas through discussion and communicate them for a clear purpose. In Years 7–8, students explain viewpoints, listen to others and adapt spoken texts. In Years 9–10, they evaluate arguments, use evidence and control language and delivery for different audiences. Tutoring can provide a calm space to rehearse.
