Year 6 English
Students build their analytical skills, gaining greater insight into the choices made by the creators of texts and how these impact readers. The focus on evaluation in the final years of the primary curriculum requires a larger technical vocabulary, greater ability to understand abstract meaning and figurative language, and to master a range of text types. Pre-essay writing skills are consolidated in preparation for Year 7.

Read reviewsEnglish confidence has increased
“My 10 year old has had a 'in person' tutor before ºÚÁÏÍø but they didn't really engage him and it wasn't effective. Our experience with ºÚÁÏÍø has been really great for him, Melissa has really engaged him and worked with his personality so well. I think online tutoring at home worked especially well for us, its easier and the tutors are fantastic. As a result, his confidence with English has really grown. We are very happy with ºÚÁÏÍø learning and would happily recommend them.”
