English Tutoring
to Year 10 & VCE
How We Tutor English
Strong English skills are essential to a student’s academic success.
Our team’s approach primarily focuses on educating and reinforcing the Three Key Tenants of English, including essay writing, language comprehension and grammar and spelling.
By approaching English tutoring with our core education principles, we build up underperforming areas and bolster established strengths. This leads to a well rounded skill set and confident English students.
As always, the Vass Tutoring English Team offers their best and brightest to elevate your learning.
Our Principles For
Educational Success
Address Gaps
Gaps in learning can limit the understanding of new concepts and result in getting left behind. Attending to these weaknesses helps support current and future learning in the classroom.
Build Strengths
Students may have obvious strengths, but often they’re missed. By identifying and building these strengths we help empower students.
Grow Confidence
Mindset is a huge part of successful learning. After covering gaps, and acknowledging strengths, confidence flourishes and leads to a better relationship with learning.
Key Areas of English Tutoring
Essay Writing
Our practical approach to essay writing goes above and beyond the standard rubrics assigned in a classroom. Targeting a student’s ability to express their ideas, we focus on refining their coherency and persuasiveness through personalised guidance. Primarily, our team of English tutors utilise constructive feedback and collaborative brainstorming to assist students in honing their arguments to above-standard levels.
Language Comprehension
In order for a student to actively improve their work, they must first understand what it is they are reading. Our team delves deep into literary works – whether it be classic literature, modern fiction, poetry, or plays – in order to ensure their student truly comprehends at an advanced level. With friendly guidance, our tutors develop their student’s critical thinking skills and grasp of subtextual analyses.
Grammar & Spelling
Along with the former two tenants, a mastery of language begins with a solid foundation in grammar and spelling. Through targeted exercises, practical examples, and individual instruction, our team is sure to elevate their student’s vocabulary with rich and sophisticated words, phrases, techniques, and language.
