Redefine yourself as a master of metalanguage. Understand English as a system in flux – one that influences and is influenced by culture and society. Learn how language is acquired and adapted, how meaning is made and how effective communication is or isn't achieved. Cluey will be there to support you all the way, as you track and measure your progress in this challenging but rewarding academic field.

Dr Samuels and her Education team developed Cluey's unique CENTRE approach, and have created interactive learning programs that map to the curriculum and allow students to work at their own level and pace.
Based on the state and national curricula for Years 11 and 12, Cluey’s approach to senior English focuses on teaching you to demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of your text with well-written and insightful answers. Our personalised approach focuses on exam prep and gives you the opportunity to develop in areas you find challenging.

“My daughter needed tutoring in high school English and we live in a rural location. It was hard to find someone to tutor her locally and difficult to organise a location. Her Cluey tutor is fantastic and has helped her improve a lot. The sessions are regular and I get detailed feedback as a parent. Highly recommend.”
