Find an online English tutor

Find an English tutor online on Superprof

English doesn't come naturally to all students–some students thrive in subjects like maths, business studies, biology or chemistry, but the open-ended answers and immense reading of English can be difficult to tackle. The nature and experience of group learning don't work for all students either. It can be easy to fall behind when you're in a class full of other students with different learning needs!

Superprof has a solution–online tutoring. Finding a private tutor through Superprof is a way for students to get extra support and learn from a tutor with knowledge and experience in English.  Whether you're in primary school, high school or university or if English is not your native language, English and ESL tutors can give you the one-on-one help you need to thrive and get a well-rounded English education.

Similar to a teacher, a tutor has the ability to recognise your strengths and the areas you struggle with, but unlike a teacher with a room full of students, tutors can focus on your learning needs. A tutor can focus on your essay writing skills and provide personalised feedback.

Superprof have some of the best online English tutors to learn from via webcam. You can choose your tutor based on their profile, which is fit with price, expertise, qualification and reviews from previous students. Superprof makes it easy to contact your tutor and book online, and the majority of first lessons are free, so you can make sure your tutor is the right fit!

Why focus on English lessons?

In Australia, the subject of English is more than writing boring essays and reading books you're not interested in. English is a broad, interesting subject that not only studies texts and language but human behaviour. English lessons widen our understanding of society as a whole, and the role language plays in it.

English teaches us how to communicate efficiently and effectively, by assigning the tasks of giving presentations and writing essays. Practising these skills are invaluable to your life and career! English lessons help us to communicate through language and learn about how others communicate, too.

Reading a wide range of texts and literature is a great way to develop emotional intelligence and understanding, by reading about other characters. When we are well-read, we gain an insight and understanding into the motives and emotions of characters, which can translate to our own lives, too.

In both primary and high school, English is a compulsory subject. Unlike maths or other subjects, students can opt-out of study English. Not only is English fun and interesting subject, but many universities require a study score of at least 25 for admission. A private, online English tutor can help you achieve this without a worry!

Why get an online tutor?

There is a lot of pressure on students, especially those in years 11 and 12. It's easy to fall behind with four or five other subjects to focus on, such as maths, business studies, literature, history, chemistry, biology and psychology.

An online private tutor is a practical way to get ahead, not to mention convenient–you can get lessons over a webcam in your bedroom or living room, so you don't have to spend time travelling back and forth.

You don't have to be in big cities like Melbourne or Sydney to get a private tutor. Online tutoring is available to anyone, anywhere with a device and internet connection.

Getting a tutor is a way to stay on top of your class and make sure you're spending time out of your lessons to study. Putting in the extra time with an English tutor is the best thing you can do to help you with reading, spelling, grammar, comprehension and essay writing–whatever it is you need help with.

Find an online English tutor for a great English study score and ATAR

No matter what you're goals are, getting a private English tutor can only help you, especially if you're someone who is prone to procrastination or busy all the time! Setting a time each week, even just half an hour to study with your tutor can make a whole lot of difference to your confidence, ability and final results.

It can be incredibly helpful having a qualified, experienced private tutor break down all the information for you in a one-on-one environment. Many teachers have different approaches to teaching, and it's important to find a tutor that works for you. If you're working towards the goal of a great ATAR score to get into a specific university course, your English tutor can spend extra time with you going through the unit outline and doing practice exams with you, from previous years.

You'll have the opportunity to let your tutor know which areas you struggle with, so they can focus on this specifically, whether it's comprehension, spelling, grammar or essay writing. Your tutor can also give you study tips. This is especially valuable from somebody who has been through it all already.

Some of the best study tips include from teachers and tutors include:

• Create a study schedule: a successful student is one with a plan! Make sure to get into a good routine, and to stick to it. Set times to study without distractions and make time to relax too. Once you get used to this routine, it will become like second nature!
• Take breaks: taking frequent breaks will keep you feeling alert and refreshed. Just make sure you follow a set schedule so you're not spending the whole day on break!
• Make your own notes: don't just highlight your textbook! Writing down your own notes helps you to take in the information and apply it.
• Test yourself and do practice exams: source previous exams and practice exams provided by your education department, and make sure to check the answers! You may want to get your tutor or a teacher to correct your practice exams for you so they can recognise your strong points and where you can improve.
• Don't be afraid to ask questions: there is no such thing as a stupid question! The best way to learn is to ask. Your teachers and tutor are here to teach, after all!
• Seek feedback: as a student, feedback is invaluable and is the best way to improve in anything you do.
• Remember to rest: set aside time for fun so you don't burn out, and make sure you get adequate sleep each night. Routine will help you with this–have a set time to stop studying and wind down before bed. Stay away from screens an hour before bed to make sure you get a good night's sleep free from distractions.
