Year 6 English Tutoring From The Best Tutors In Leichhardt

Students should be able to read and comprehend a wide range of text types, recognise author techniques and bias, and write structured texts for different purposes. They should use varied sentence structures, precise vocabulary, literary devices, and appropriate text formatting. Oral presentations should be clear, organised, and suited to the audience.

At 11–12 years old, students are transitioning to more independent learning. Year 6 English develops essential skills in communication, reasoning, and creativity. It builds a strong foundation for analytical thinking and confidence in expressing ideas both orally and in writing.

Language: Students explore how language changes in formality depending on context, use complex sentence structures, and analyse cohesive devices. They learn to use figurative language, subject-specific vocabulary, and punctuation including commas for lists and dialogue.

Literature: Students read a variety of literary texts from diverse cultures, including those by First Nations Australians. They analyse characters, themes, narrative techniques, and poetic devices. They also create imaginative texts adapting plot, character, and setting.

Literacy: Students interpret a range of texts—informative, persuasive, multimodal—and develop skills in critical analysis. They plan and deliver written and oral texts, including reports, discussions, and arguments, using digital tools and expressive language techniques.

Tutoring identifies areas for growth, such as reading fluency, creative writing, or text analysis. Tutors guide students through structured lessons aligned with school topics, providing feedback and extension tasks. Support is available online or in-person and focuses on strengthening literacy across all modes of communication.
