Jimena is a very patient tutor who also has a vast knowledge on the English subject. She effectively analyses and explains language techniques in a way that is understandable. Overall would recommend.
Jaye is a really helpful tutor who helps identify your weaknesses and strengths as a student and guides you efficiently towards improving them!
Professional, kind, organised and patient. Am so grateful to find Nanditha. Such a great resource and help during our year 12 studies. Can’t recommend her any more highly. Has been a seamless experience and I know it will continue to be. Very reliable.
Tania has a lovely way of teaching. She is calm, patient and succinct without ‘over teaching’. She was able to very quickly identify what worked with our year 12 son and gain his trust and respect. She has helped him grow in confidence in his English analysis, text and article responses - and his enjoyment of English. He also draws on these skills in assessing media reports!We have had such a fabulous experience with Tania and would come back to her in a heartbeat for any future tutoring needs. Thank so much Tania!
Sophie is a reliable and organised tutor. She is responsive and has assisted our son in various subjects, including Science, History and English. We highly recommend Sophie as a tutor.
I think Atifa is really helpful and understanding. I have been doing alright with English and tutoring with Atifa has helped me improved. Through my persuasive writing, there is a clear improvement and it has been more visual through my marks as well. She is friendly and kind and is a great help when revising overwork and assignments. She is honest when it is needed and provides constructive feedback. She is a great tutor and to be her student is an honour.

Here's how an English tutor on Learnmate can help you
Regarding English tutoring specifically, students are taught based on their language proficiency.
In early school levels, a primary school English tutor usually involves fun and engaging activities that nurture curiosity, as well as confidence when it comes to the basics of the language.
Going into Years 7–10, sessions build on the foundations set during Primary years, refining expression, structure and critical thinking across subjects. By Years 11–12, a secondary school English tutor’s focus shifts to consolidating skills, strengthening written communication and developing effective exam strategies for exams and assessments.
Additionally, an HSC English tutor or Year 12 tutoring for private English lessons also typically zeroes in on assessment-focused strategies.
This doesn’t end at Year 12, either. Adults who also want to expand on their English skills can also turn to tutoring. After all, we aim to empower learners, regardless of age.
Different students often excel in varying areas. That also means that what might only need a quick review for one learner could be a topic that another student needs more guidance and practice with.
Tutors provide ongoing feedback to help students address what they need more help with, be it vocabulary, composition, analytical skills or something else. As a result, any mistakes during sessions become opportunities for learning and personal growth that extend far beyond the classroom.
So, whether you’re looking for tutoring for Year 1 to prepare your child’s transition into Primary education or you need a private English tutor to help you brush up on your writing skills, our platform can connect you with the right person for the job.
If you’re looking for an in-person or online English tutor who understands your needs, this is the platform for you. We streamline the search for skilled tutors who target specific learning gaps and opportunities that are relevant to a specific learner’s skill level and situation.
