Study guide · 01

Can your child use a correction in another task?

Repeating a corrected answer is a start. Try another question to check understanding. Can your child choose evidence from a different passage, explain a new reason or spot the same grammar mistake in their own writing?

The answer helps us decide what to teach. A student who knows the method but hesitates may need guided practice. One who starts confidently but changes the passage’s meaning may need help reading more carefully.

Original practice exampleAn original independence check

The task

A student corrected “They was waiting” to “They were waiting”. What fresh task would show understanding?

Worked response

Ask the student to choose and explain “was” or “were” in “The list of visitors ___ on the desk”, then use the same agreement idea in an original sentence.

The noun phrase changes, so the student must identify the grammatical subject instead of repeating the previous correction. “List” is singular and takes “was”; the nearby plural “visitors” does not control the verb.

Prepare for upper-secondary work

G1 students practise accurate sentences and complete messages. G2 and G3 students work on choosing evidence, paraphrasing and developing longer answers. IP and IB pathway assignments may also ask them to compare texts or explain an interpretation. The course pages show examples of this work.

Use recent school feedback to choose one skill to practise. It might be explaining an inference, developing a paragraph or fixing a sentence error. Work on a short task, then try another without help.

Common difficulties

Corrections are completed but not reused

After correcting a sentence, we discuss why it was wrong and try the same rule in another task.

The child depends on prompts for every paragraph

We help students plan paragraphs, then gradually reduce the prompts so they can write on their own.

How our tutors help

Work on a recurring difficulty

We choose a problem from recent assignments, practise it and check another answer to see whether the student can now handle it.

Let the student take the next step

The tutor shows how to plan, choose evidence or check an answer, then asks the student to do that part without help.

Keep earlier learning active

Students revisit earlier skills through platform practice and spaced review. The tutor uses their answers to plan the next class.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers for parents

How many students are in each class?

Four, at most. Students are grouped by learning pace, not just by year level, so each lesson moves at the speed of the students actually in it. When no session matches a child’s pace, we open a new one. In a class that size, every child answers questions, gets their working checked, and gets help the moment they need it.

How much does a dedicated trial session cost?

A dedicated trial session at a different timeslot is offered at a subsidised rate of $30. We’ll help you explore the available options.

Is Sec 2 too early to prepare for upper-secondary English?

Sec 2 is a good time to practise reading, writing and speaking with less help. We use current school tasks to choose what to work on before moving to longer or timed responses.

What do Sec 2 G2 and G3 lessons develop?

Both develop comprehension, writing and oral communication, using the tasks and requirements of the student’s English course. We help students select evidence, explain a reason, organise paragraphs and review their work independently.

What progress should be visible before the year ends?

Look for things your child can do with less help: choose evidence, plan a paragraph, explain a reason or spot a familiar error. Their next independent assignment can show how much they have learned.

Is registration open for 2027?

Class registration for the 2027 school year is open. Request a trial class using the form. We will message you to confirm your child’s 2027 level and class details.

Is practice included?

Yes. Students practise on DeepThink between their weekly live online lessons.
