Writing tutors on Learnmate work with primary students on sentences and structure, secondary students on essays and analysis, and adults writing for work or study.
Tutors work with primary and secondary students and with adults.
Primary writing covers sentence structure, paragraphing and getting started on a page.
Secondary writing covers essay structure, analysis and writing to time.
Adults work on writing for study, work and applications.
Reading has its own tutors on Learnmate if that is the gap.
Writing help splits three ways and the tutors are not interchangeable. A primary student who cannot get started on a page. A senior student whose essays lose marks on structure rather than ideas. An adult writing reports, applications or university assignments. Profiles state which of these a tutor does and which year levels they work with, so the sorting happens before you make contact.
Writing is the one skill where the work is visible: a tutor can see exactly what went wrong by reading it. That makes the first session unusually productive if you bring something real rather than starting fresh. Most tutors give a first lesson free, there are no lock-in contracts, and payment is processed automatically after each lesson. For reading rather than writing, the reading tutors page is the place to start.
Learnmate is Australia's leading online tutoring marketplace, and its writing network runs from primary sentence work through senior essays to adults writing for study and work.
Profiles are open to browse, so you can compare what each tutor teaches, their results and their rate before making contact. Nobody screens you first, nothing is locked in for a term, the first lesson is usually free, and each lesson is paid for automatically once it has happened.
A writing lesson works best on a real piece of work, not an exercise. Tutors read what the student actually produced and work through it with them, which is why the first session usually finds the problem faster than a term of general help.
Senior students often lose marks on shape rather than content, and that is a teachable thing. Tutors who have taught the course state which one and what they scored, so you can match the tutor to the syllabus rather than hoping.
University assignments, work reports and job applications are regular work here rather than an unusual request. Tutors who take adult students say so on their profiles, so you are not the one explaining why you are asking.
Writing tutors on Learnmate include a Master of Education and registered teachers with twenty-five years or more in classrooms across Australia, England, China and Germany, one holding a Cambridge CELTA and one who took an ATAR of 99.05. Others are a postgraduate medical student and a Doctor of Optometry candidate at the University of Melbourne.
Between them they cover primary sentence writing and spelling, senior English to Advanced and Extension level, essay and academic writing, assignment planning and drafting, and English for adults preparing for study, work or IELTS. Several work mainly with primary students. Profiles state which of these each tutor teaches and which year levels they take. For reading rather than writing, the reading tutors page lists tutors working there.
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 you 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.
School writing, senior essays and writing for work
Early writing problems are usually about starting and structuring rather than ideas. A child who talks fluently about a topic and then freezes over a blank page is not short of content; they have no method for getting it into order. Work at this level covers sentence construction, paragraphing, planning before drafting, and the basic mechanics of spelling and punctuation that otherwise consume all the attention.
Senior students more often lose marks on shape than on substance. A thesis that does not answer the question, evidence that sits beside an argument rather than supporting it, or a strong essay that runs out of time at the two-thirds mark. All three are teachable and none requires knowing more content. Tutors state which courses they have taught and what they scored, so the tutor can be matched to the syllabus.
Adults come for university assignments, reports and correspondence at work, and job applications, and it is regular work here rather than an unusual request. The lesson format does not change: bring something real that you are writing, and work through it. What differs is the standard being written to, which is professional or academic rather than a marking rubric. Tutors who take adult students say so on their profiles.
