Tutoring approach

Our methodology for HSC English Extension 1

Tutors help students clarify difficult ideas, build stronger interpretations, and connect close textual detail to the demands of the module. Lessons can focus on prescribed texts, related material, critical readings, and the student's current assessment task.

Students can practise essay plans, thesis development, textual evidence, creative responses, and timed writing so their ideas become more precise and easier to express under exam conditions.

I’m so thankful my mum found this Service!! Throughout most of my high school years, maths was always my weakest subject. I never knew how to study it, and where to even start. I always dreaded math class and exams at school, however my tutor Alex, not only assisted in boosting my performance and confidence in maths; but he was a great mentor across all aspects of school, whether it be study methods, university applications, study notes and resources, transitioning into university etc. Very knowledgeable! I tried out other tutoring services in previous years, however there was never really an improvement in my grades or confidence, and the programs were always too general, and not specific to my needs. I found Erudite tuition very flexible and the one on one online tutoring catered exactly to my level, learning and study habits. Prior to tutoring with them, I went from my first exam in the beginning of year 12 being a 35%..but through hard work and a lot of help and encouragement from my tutor, my last few exams were topping the 80s. For the first time, I was excited to get my assessment results back! It’s such a rewarding feeling seeing an improvement. I achieved an ATAR I never thought was possible for myself. Had I have not had tutoring for my maths through Erudite, my Atar definitely would of been brought down. Thank you so so much!!

When my child first started they weren't showing as much improvement as I liked. After speaking with the owner, he was very understanding and swapped tutors. Nowdays my child's grades are great and doing much better at school. Thanks Erudite!

If your child is the kind who is quiet and unable to express themselves clearly, then erudite is the right tuition for them. The tutors here are very patient and you can tell they genuinely want the best for your child. I love erudite tuition because it helped me gain more knowledge and feel more at ease in concepts that I frequently found difficult.

Our son started using Erudite Tuition due to all the lockdowns with Victoria and they were offering Online Tutoring. It has been a wonderful experience for us as parents and him as a student. The online platform is great and doesn't reduce productivity for him at all. Great job!

My daughter sought out Math's tutoring to support her doing Math's extension 2 in her final year of schooling (Yr. 12). She was so very happy with Eric's weekly tutoring. She looked forward to the sessions and found it v. enjoyable. She also felt the tutoring also benefited her overall ATAR mark. Thanks so much Eric and Erudite. - Mother
