Year 11 English Tutoring
We help your child get the English results they need to get into the University course of their dreams
English is one of the most important subjects a student will study. This is one of the reasons it is included as a compulsory subject in HSC, VCE, QCE and more.
Coming into Year 11, students will select from several types of English subjects to choose from, varying in difficulty. The Australian curriculum breaks down English into four broad subjects;
Literature – This is considered the most challenging of the four subjects. It focuses on literary texts like prose, drama and poetry. The subject explores the creative use of language through the in-depth study of culturally critical literary works.
English – This analytical subject requires creative skills by studying a range of literary and non-literary texts. Such texts can include oral multimedia and digital texts like novels and documentaries.
English as an additional language – It is a subject designed for students with English as their second language. It is an ATAR subject in some parts of Australia, like Western Australia.
Essential English – It develops the students’ use of language, but it is not an ATAR subject. This subject is tailored to students who would like to graduate from high school but don’t want to go to university.
Each of the subjects is critical and plays a crucial role in determining the university you can attend. Some of the subjects are more demanding than others. Having Year 11 English tutors can go a long way in helping students make the most out of their time in Year 11 and post good grades in preparation for their final year in Year 12.
In Year 11, you’re in your last Key State. You want to give yourself the best opportunity to succeed, which is hiring an English tutor is critical at this stage.

The majority of English subjects focus on your comprehension, writing and reading skills. With additional support from our tutors, we can help you improve your structure and essay writing skills. We can help you cover various aspects like critical thinking and creative writing skills using personalised, insightful and actionable customisable learning plans.
You can work on any areas of concern with the tutor and get tips on handling various questions in English exams. Our tutors will provide you with tools and support to master the subject and pass the exams. The tutors will go through all the core concepts and necessary materials to give you the best chance of fully preparing for the upcoming exams and boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
The most common problem most students have is a lack of confidence. Our tutors are trained and experienced in helping students build their confidence and self-esteem. As you approach year 12, organisation will also be a significant factor. The workload will increase, demanding better organisation to manage your personal study time while ensuring you deliver all the assignments and homework on time. We take a wholesome approach to tutoring, ensuring the student is comprehensively prepared. Our tutors will help you improve your English grades and work on your confidence and organisation skills.
Students have different learning methods and preferences. We offer online and in-home private Year 11 English tutoring to cater to various preferences. Both ways are convenient with individualised, one-on-one tutoring. In-home tutoring is perfect for students who have challenges concentrating. The tutor comes to your home or the local library to conduct the tutoring. This type of tutoring is also ideal for students who want more accountability and attention. Online tutoring is more flexible and perfect for busy families. With online tutoring, the student has access to the tutor at any time. Even with online Year 11 English tutoring, the student still enjoys one-on-one, individualised tutoring with our robust online tutoring platform.

Frequently Asked Questions:
When is the best time to start tutoring?
There is no better time than now! Tutoring isn’t just for those that are struggling – it also provides advanced students an opportunity to feel challenged and refine their skills. Having someone partner with you to bring out the best in your child is completely invaluable – and we recommend it at every age and level.
Does my child need a tutor?
Tutoring is for more than just those who struggle. In fact, you will usually find the students at the top of the class are there BECAUSE they have a tutor. Your tutor will become a partner in your child’s education journey, bridging the gap between home and the classroom. We believe every single student has something to gain from the support of an Alchemy tutor – and we know you will see this too.
Are there contracts or do I pay in advance?
No – there are no contracts and we are entirely pay as you go. We use an automated payment system that simply charges your debit or credit card 24 hours after each lesson occurs.
Will my tutor provide content and resources?
Yes – your tutor will have full access to our resource centre which contains thousands of worksheets, practice tests and text books. They will tailor every lesson around your child’s needs and design a unique program for them. To avoid waste we encourage our tutors to use digital worksheets so may bring a tablet or laptop – if you’d prefer to have them printed your tutor can send them to you ahead of a lesson for you to print at home.
How long does each lesson go for?
We leave this up to you to discuss with your tutor – but most of our students do between 1-2 hours per week. Our data shows that students see the most progress when they do a 1.5 hour lesson each week. There is no need to agree to a fixed session length – your tutor simply logs the length of session after each lesson occurs (with your prior agreement of course!).
Will my child have an assessment?
Yes. In the first lesson your tutor will deliver an assessment on your child, seeing where their strengths and weaknesses lie. After the session, your tutor will discuss their findings with you and send them through to you by email. From there, they will then develop a 10-week strategy to see your child reach their goals.
Why choose Alchemy over other options?
There are so many reasons, but the one thing we are most proud of is what makes us who we are. Alchemy is the medieval science of turning metals in to gold. It is the act of taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary – something our tutors do with our students every single day. The Alchemy difference is that we care about so much more than just marks. This resonates in everything we do – from the tutors we hire through to the lessons we plan. We want to see your child perform at their very best in all aspects of life – and not just in the classroom. It is this passion for so much more than just academic results that gives us the reputation we have – with thousands of verified 5-star reviews online.
How do you monitor progress?
We test students regularly to monitor improvements. The frequency of this will be up to your tutor, and you are welcome to discuss this with them in the first session to work out a testing cycle that is ideal for your child.
How often will lessons happen?
We recommend weekly sessions for every student. Consistency is so important in education, so irregular lessons may halt your child’s progress.
Is the first lesson a free trial lesson?
No – but it is covered by our first session 100% happiness guarantee. This means that if you are not 100% convinced the tutor we have lined up for you is the right tutor for your child, the session is on us and we can organise someone else that better suits your needs. If however you are happy to continue (and we are confident that you will be!) then we charge you for the first session when you submit payment details.
