ENGLISH TUTORING

Empowering Your Child To Succeed with English Language
english tutoring classes and english writing class with students of all learning levels

Specialised English Writing Classes

Specially 4 You Education is a personalised English tutoring service that caters to all levels of learning, dedicated to empowering your child to succeed. We believe all children can develop a love of reading and writing, and it is our goal to help, no matter what level your child is at.

We offer both individual English tutoring and group English writing classes for the entire range of school-aged children from Prep to VCE. Our writing classes use curriculums we have developed ourselves, tested and proven through many years of education experience, and are adjustable based on specific learning needs.

We know that not all children learn at the same pace, and that is okay. Our English classes are limited in size to ensure every child receives the best care we can give. We provide personalised feedback on every piece of writing your child submits.

The teaching models we use consistently demonstrate growth in a child’s capacity to create, analyse and understand the many different forms of English writing. We are here to help your child develop confidence and a love of learning.

Join us in person or online. Every class is taught in both formats. 

Take the Next Step and Enquire about English Tutoring with us today!

Book a Free Assessment to enable us to gauge the academic levels of your child as well as find the gaps in their learning so we can allocate them to a suitable class.

My son joined Specially 4 You Education in Term 3 this year. Recently, the school English teacher commented that my son's has improved tremendously and one part of his task, he almost scored full marks. My son attributed his achievement to Susanne and Matthew (his individualised tutor) dedication and guidance. My son enjoyed doing English homework now, he said he's inspired by Matthew. I wish I found Specially 4 You much earlier

Mrs. McQuie is exceptional in teaching writing skills to my son, demonstrating both patience and professionalism. Her strengths in critical thinking, writing, and phrasing are truly impressive, and my son thoroughly enjoys learning from her. The variety of events and activities she incorporates into her lessons adds another layer of enjoyment and engagement to the class.

I have been with S4YE for three years and I am continually astounded by the high level of engagement that Mrs McQuie and her staff provide. Their courses have made my past few years of English extremely enjoyable, and I know that the skills they teach will benefit me greatly in the years to come. Thank you S4YE!

My boys have been with Mrs. McQuie for about four years, and not only have I seen a significant improvement in their writing skills, but their love of learning has also flourished. It's truly a blessing to hear my high school boy say, 'I can't wait to start this week's assignment! It's fun, Mom. We get to compare movies and books in a project.' Mrs. McQuie is a highly professional and caring teacher whose lessons are both engaging and challenging. Even in our group classes, she is able to address the individual needs and progress of each student, tailoring the assignments to their abilities. I also appreciate that she carefully selects teaching materials and reading assignments that are both morally sound and age-appropriate. As a busy mom, it's reassuring to know that my boys are working on and engaging with quality learning materials. I'm grateful to be part of the Specially for You community."

Having participated in many years of both online and in-person Specially 4 You classes as a homeschooler, I can honestly say that these classes are amongst the best curriculum's our family used. The knowledgeable teachers are both patient and kind which makes the learning process much more enjoyable, even when certain aspects are initially hard to grasp. I can proudly say that Specially 4 You Education has thoroughly equipped me with useful skills in all aspects of writing. The classes are diverse, and tackle real life topics, such as history, and racism while also teaching students how to write creatively and persuasively. Their multiplicity in subject matter and literature skills make sure you never have a dull, or unfulfilling moment.
 Nearing completion of my high school journey, I am confident knowing that I have been equipped with tools that will serve me in whatever career path I choose. Thank you to Ms. McQuie and team! ~ Zeke Alexander

All my children (primary and high school aged) love their S4YE classes! Both when they could attend in-person classes, and even now, we have moved interstate, and they are doing the online classes. Being homeschoolers, the classes don’t just take the strain off me as a parent in trying to make sure they are learning the right things at the right pace but also in providing them with a real sense of community. It’s a safe space to ask questions and share their ideas and work amongst other homeschooled kids.

Sussanne is a great teacher and her class is always very engaging and well planned. My son has been with Sussanne for more than 3 years and he had made exceptional progress. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to improve their writing abilities.

My experience at "Speccially 4 you" writing tuition class is exceptional. The class's engaging curriculum and the teacher's impressive teaching skills makes it a standout choice for improving my writing. The personalized attention in small class sizes is a significant advantage. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to enhance their writing abilities.

Teacher Susanne has been amazing for my son. She is a very patient but firm teacher. Whenever I have questions she always takes time to listen. She has been my son's English tutor for a few years now and I am very grateful for the time and effort that she puts in in helping my child.

All Learning Styles

All students learn differently. Some are very visual. Others like to read information thoroughly. Some children prefer working in a class environment, while others benefit more from one-on-one English tutoring. We believe there is no right or wrong setting when it comes to education, because it all depends on the student.

Group English classes at Specially 4 You still involve individual attention from a tutor, while concepts are explored with the whole class. Many children flourish in this environment. Other children, particularly those who are prone to distractions, achieve much more benefit from one-on-one tutoring, where they can focus solely on their own work. We cater for both!

We also offer online English classes. We have successfully tutored students from across Australia and overseas. With the technology available today, distance is no longer a barrier.

Partnership with Parents

We believe the key to successful tutoring is having everybody on the same team. We always seek to partner with both parents and teachers so that we can best address a child’s needs. We work closely with parents to find out your child’s goals, preferred learning styles, and how we can best help. Parents also play a key role in the ongoing tutoring process, so we love to have you involved every step of the way.

HomeSchoolers

Susanne homeschooled all three of her children over a period of 20 years, covering their entire pre-university education. Combining this with her many years of experience in the education sector has enabled Specially 4 You Education to understand the complexities and unique features of the journey of homeschooling.

A significant percentage of our students are homeschooled, and many of our English writing classes cater for their specialised needs, including earlier times of the day and locations near their place of residence.

Specially 4 You Education understands that homeschooling parents often choose this path out of a desire to have direct input in their children’s education. We pride ourselves on treating learning as a collaboration between us, a child and their parents.

English as a Second Language

English as a Second Language

Our founder, Susanne McQuie, has first-hand experience moving to a new country. She understands how difficult it can be to leave family and friends behind and also how hard it can be to learn a new language. Australia is a diverse nation with families from many different nationalities. When English isn’t the first spoken language at home, children can find it difficult to adapt to school.

We are experienced and uniquely qualified in teaching English as a second language. Not only do we help students improve their English skills so they can excel in school, but we also cater for adults too. If you have a need to communicate more easily in an English-speaking environment, we are here to help.

Tutors Who Care

The team at Specially 4 You Education really cares about making a difference. We’ve seen the positive change experienced by students when they re-discover a love of learning. English subjects can be particularly challenging, especially for those from non-English speaking backgrounds, and we absolutely love helping students navigate through those difficulties.

While we are here to improve your child’s results in English subjects, we also take great pride in developing a passion for learning. Seeing children overcome their problems and discover a new love for reading and writing is why we do what we do.
