Year 3 English Tutoring in NSW & Online

Close the gap and build the advanced English skills needed for OC placement and selective school success

Many Year 3 students across NSW are already working at Year 5 level with private tutoring. If your child is relying on school alone, they’re competing at a disadvantage. Our proven program rapidly develops the advanced writing, comprehension, and analytical skills needed to catch up and excel. We help students achieve top NAPLAN bands, and secure their spot in OC and selective programs.

What’s Inside – Term-by-Term Breakdown

Introduction to Persuasive Writing

We kick off by teaching kids how to form, structure, and defend an opinion.

They learn the kind of writing that actually wins arguments and marks.

  • Forming opinions + supporting them logically
  • SEE paragraph structure
  • Persuasive vocabulary + high-impact language
  • Diagnostic feedback loops to track early wins

Outcome: Students walk away with the ability to write a basic persuasive argument with structure and confidence.

Essential Writing Foundations

In this term, we focus on the mechanics of writing—grammar, sentence structure, and clarity. Students will gain complete control over their writing, ensuring it is both precise and effective.

  • Mastery of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions
  • Sentence structure and proper punctuation
  • Consistent tense usage and language precision
  • Three diagnostic reviews for accuracy

Outcome: Students will produce grammatically correct, well-structured, and clear writing.

Using Language Effectively

Here, we move from basic structure to more sophisticated writing. We focus on enhancing style, rhythm, and clarity—skills that make writing engaging and impactful.

  • Expanding vocabulary in context
  • Using contractions, dialogue, and punctuation effectively
  • Mastering compound and complex sentences
  • Writing with real-world relevance

Outcome: Students will write with variety, rhythm, and a distinct voice, making their writing compelling and effective.

Introduction to Imaginative Writing

The final term encourages creativity as students learn to craft stories that captivate the reader. We teach them how to bring characters, settings, and plots to life.

  • Developing characters, settings, and plot construction
  • Real vs. imaginary descriptions
  • Understanding and using figurative language (e.g., metaphors, similes, imagery)
  • Writing imaginative short stories with detailed feedback

Outcome: Students will confidently write compelling, creative narratives with flair and originality.
