Find the Best Private English Tutors in Melbourne

In the past 30 years or so, English has become a worldwide lingua franca, with people from many different language backgrounds using English to contact each other. As English has become more widely used, more and more people are spending time learning it every year. From primary school students to business CEOs, over the years, private tutoring has become a much more common experience. Having a good level of English is needed to succeed in any number of fields, from psychology to maths to science studies like chemistry or biology.

The number of English students and tutors has grown exponentially since the introduction of online technologies that help make access to language learning materials that much easier. There are so many different apps, dictionaries and online websites you can use to learn English, but nothing beats the support and teaching of a qualified, professional English teacher. The tutors on Superprof have years of experience tutoring students of all levels, ages and backgrounds.

Extra Support for VCE English

If you're a student currently learning English at a high school in Melbourne, and you're spending hour after hour on your studies with little result, private tuition can be really helpful as you try to obtain the highest ATAR possible in your final year of VCE. During VCE studies, there are four types of English you might do. General English focuses on analysing a variety of texts and using the information presented to create an argument. Literature looks at the same skills, but in more detail and complexity, and also allows for more creative writing opportunities. The English Language focuses on the grammatical and linguistic features of different types of writing. English as an Additional Language is for students who don't speak it as a native language.

No matter which type of VCE English you choose to study, a private tutor can use their experience to support and guide you during two really stressful years of your life. Many of our tutors in Melbourne completed VCE English before going to university, so they understand the criteria and qualities expected from each assessment. Having been in the shoes of their students, the tutor can help explain things in a different way to a classroom teacher, and offer advice on how and what to study. A private tutor is also a way of forcing yourself to do the hours of work needed to improve and get a great ATAR. Once you've established a relationship with your tutor, you won't want to let them down by not completing the work on time.

Why Study English in Melbourne?

Melbourne is a really excellent city in Australia to study English for VCE students. It's a bustling city full of shops, museums, galleries and free events to get involved in. For lovers of literature, the State Library of Victoria offers a weekly book club service where you can spend hours making new friends and discussing the ins and outs of your latest read. For those who want to chat, there's a variety of language exchange nights where you can find a new community and start to feel at home in a new city. This is just the tip of the iceberg, and one of the great things about Melbourne is getting to explore and discover new and exciting things.

A strong understanding of English can help assure that you're prepared not only for your VCE English exams but for university, from essay writing to critical thinking skills. The benefits of a private English tutor can have positive lifelong effects that will widen your perspective of the world.
