English is a mandatory subject in VCE. It comes in 4 flavours: VCE English, VCE Literature and VCE English Language and VCE English As An Additional Language (EAL).

VCE English is the most common English subject. It can be broken down into VCE Units 1 and 2, and 3 and 4. The focus of VCE English Units 3 and 4, or Year 12 English, is analysing texts, essay writing and oral presentations.

Students need to read VCE English designated books and extract themes, symbolism and other elements to be used in written pieces. Essays can be analytical or creative, and students are usually given a choice depending on their preference, as to which essay question they want to answer.

Another big aspect of VCE English are oral presentations. Here the goal is to use persuasive devices to convince the audience of your point of view. You will be given a topic that is debated in the media, and you will be able to decide which way you want to argue the issue.

VCE Literature is another subject that fits in the VCE English group of subjects. In VCE Literature there is less structure than in VCE English, and generally you have more freedom in your writing. VCE Literature scraps the formalised writing style of VCE English and allows you to write on tangents and get into more detailed analysis, whereas VCE English encourages you to write more concisely.

EAL or English As An Alternative Language is a subject that’s designed to make English studies fairer between local students and those from other countries. Only students that have 7 or less years living in English speaking countries can apply for this subject.

A VCE EAL tutor can give you a massive advantage when studying EAL. An VCE EAL tutor will be able to help with all the main assessments of VCE EAL including text response, argument analysis, creative writing, compare and contrast and presenting arguments in the oral section.

For students that struggle with gramma and spelling, a VCE EAL tutor can be particularly useful to make basic corrections in both writing and speech.

University English is a whole different ball game, and most students that transition from VCE English and related subjects struggle heavily to meet the expectations of university writing classes. This stems from the fact that the types of writing tasks in university English classes are different to the 3 main types of essays students are used to writing for VCE English: analytical essays, persuasive essays and creative essays.

A University English tutor can help you transition to University level English courses by giving you writing feedback specific to your university course. University English tutors will assess in a way that replicates your university course criteria, giving you insights into how you are performing before your university English course assessments.

High school English can be challenging for many students, as this is usually the first time students are required to write essays and structure their writing. A high school English tutor can help provide constructive feedback and help improve writing, presentation and analysis skills required to s\\ucceed in VCE English.

High school English tutors are often obtained too late, and students enter VCE English with a very poor foundation in writing and suffer as a consequence. High school English tutors should be obtained in Year 10 as an absolute minimum, as writing is a skill that takes many years to perfect, especially for students that are more science and math orientated.

It’s not uncommon that English tuition is started in primary school to give kids the best chance of success in English studies later in life. It’s important to instil an appreciation for books and writing in children early on, as this will last a lifetime. A primary school English tutor can be a tremendous asset to any child’s education, and can make a huge difference in high school and beyond.

The main focus of a primary school English tutor is to improve literacy. It’s super important to get kids reading as early as possible, as students that learn to read later often have a stunted education that is difficult to get back on track. A primary school English tutor can make sure your child hits the ground running when they start high school English studies.
