Let's find the right English programme for you
English is at the centre of everything we do in New Zealand (and many parts of the world)
From daily interaction with others to understanding complex contracts or instructions, we all need to have a solid grasp on the English language.
At Cluey, your student can get personalised access to skilled tutors in English - from essential reading to analysis of written texts.
No matter what they're challenged by (or if they are looking for extension work), our English tutors can help them achieve great results at school.
How does Cluey English tutoring work?
Cluey tutors teach face-to-face in a live online session that includes audio, video and the use of our collaborative whiteboards.
Customised to suit your student’s needs, we discuss the English concept areas they’re struggling with (or provide topic reinforcement or extension programmes where required).
- Discussion (about the problem)
- Demonstration of how to solve it
- Challenge for the student to solve, with help if needed.
We’ll even provide practice questions to work on between sessions, so they can master the topics they need to learn.
We've got all your English learning goals covered
Need to address a specific need?
