Boost your confidence and maximise your
Year 9 English
grades with an expert one-on-one tutor in
Ivanhoe
Our tutors will teach Year 9 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they develop critical skills in reading, writing, and communication. By the end of Year 9, students interact with others and create spoken and multimodal texts, using language features and structures to shape meaning and support their ideas. They analyse a range of texts to understand how people, places, and concepts are represented and how texts respond to their contexts. Students experiment with language and structure in their writing to express ideas and perspectives, and they develop their ability to substantiate arguments with evidence.
Language:
Year 9 students learn how language shapes relationships and identities, and they explore how authors use language creatively to engage audiences. They study how text structures can be adapted for different purposes and audiences, using cohesive devices and complex sentence structures to refine their writing. They also expand their vocabulary, understanding the nuances of figurative language and technical terms to improve their expression in both written and spoken forms.
Literature:
Students engage with literature by analysing characters, settings, and themes in texts from diverse cultural, historical, and social contexts, including those by First Nations Australian authors. They explore how literary devices like symbolism, metaphor, and allegory contribute to deeper meanings in texts. Students also experiment with creating their own literary pieces, drawing on techniques from the literature they study to develop stories, poems, and plays.
Literacy:
Students practise listening and speaking in discussions, analysing how language features position audiences in spoken texts and using these skills to present their own viewpoints effectively. They evaluate how text structures and language choices shape meaning in written, visual, and digital texts. Writing tasks include crafting analytical, persuasive, and imaginative texts, focusing on organising ideas logically and using evidence to support their points. They also enhance their editing skills, ensuring accuracy in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Absolutely! Students are able to choose online or in-person tutoring. We serve our customers in what ever way best works for them.
To start tutoring with Apex, please fill out this form. One of our Operations Managers will receive and process it. They will get all the necessary details from you and then begin the process of finding the perfect tutor for you.
Tutoring can happen anywhere based on your individual needs. We have tutors that can travel to your home or a nearby meeting spot. Alternatively, if you prefer or if we have no tutors in the area, we can arrange online tutoring. All tutors are trained to use online tools to maintain tutoring quality.
Currently, we are providing in-person tutoring services in Melbourne and Sydney. Additionally, we have online tutoring offerred for students in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
We recommend that tutoring occurs once a week. This allows the tutor and the student to get to know each other well and form a bond. However, the frequency of tutoring is completely up to you. If you would prefer to have multiple sessions a week or just need a tutor once a month, that can also be arranged.
Private tutoring is extremely effective for all types of students. The major benefit of private tutoring is the personalised, one-on-one support. Often in schools, a teacher has to teach 20+ students at once, as a result, if you miss something or fall behind it can be tough to catch up. With a private tutor, students can learn at their own pace, take time to explore new topics and ask as many questions as they want.
Whether you are a top achiever striving for the best marks or a student who is just looking to keep up, private tutoring with Apex Tuition Australia provides an intimate learning environment that builds confidence, promotes curiosity and improves grades.
At Apex Tuition Australia, the cost of tutoring depends on the student's age and preference of location. There are four different prices:

Yes, all of our tutors are familiar with the current curriculum. We recognise how important it is that your tutor is an expert in the curriculum they are teaching.
Each curriculum in Australia is slightly different and has its own nuances that are important for the tutor to know. We will always endeavour to match you with a tutor who is intimately familiar with the curriculum your child is completing.
At the moment, we have tutors who have completed the VCE, HSC, QCE, SACE, WACE and IB.
For younger year levels, we will endeavour to find a tutor who has completed the same course but this is less vital.
