To make sure your student is assured of success, the Cluey Education Team has an ever-expanding bank of resources as well as units ready to support essays, oral presentations, creative and persuasive writing - as well as grammar and spelling to give that final polish. If you're looking for assistance or extension in Year 8, our tutors are ready to help.
In Year 9, your child will be engaging in higher order reasoning and increasing abstraction. It's a great chance for students to consider their own position in the world as a creator and responder. The Cluey Education Team is ready to support them at every stage, with units for essays, oral presentations, creative and persuasive writing, as well as spelling, syntax and grammar. Whether it's catching up or getting ahead, our custom learning plans are tailored to your child's needs.
Students build their analytical skills, gaining greater insight into the choices made by the creators of texts and how these impact readers. The focus on evaluation in the final years of the primary curriculum requires a larger technical vocabulary, greater ability to understand abstract meaning and figurative language, and to master a range of text types. Pre-essaying writing skills are consolidated in preparation for Year 7.
In Year 2, students are developing their reading skills and using a range of strategies to recognise and decode words. They are learning to understand the range of purposes and audiences for spoken and written language and also learning to create their own texts for specific purposes and audiences. They are also learning to reflect on and assess their own writing and that of others.
Explore a world of sophisticated and complex texts and adopt new approaches to the practice of in-depth reading and writing. Challenge yourself to develop, present and defend original creative or critical work that reflects your growing confidence as a student of Senior English. Cluey will be there to support you with everything from developing independent research strategies to mastering the secrets of extended writing.

Here’s what parents and students around Australia are saying about Cluey Learning:
Cluey has helped my daughter understand her maths and English better over time. She really loves her English tutor and enjoys these lessons. It has been a good investment. However, I think that it is important to get the right tutor for the child and ensure that they practice regularly.
My eight-year-old son is enrolled in Math and English tutorials. The tutors who have been assigned to him are patient, encouraging and capable of breaking down complex problems in ways that make them manageable. The exercises are helpful. I appreciate the feedback at the end of each session. A minor comment is that more detailed feedback in the regular update might help, for example specifically identifying areas where he might need more help. In my case, I observed how my son answered questions (and I also walk him through other written NAPLAN books), and from there I identified his strengths and weaknesses. Validation or extra insight in the report would be helpful to me. Overall, the sessions and the tutors have been incredibly helpful.
Cluey has been fantastic my son has gained confidence in both English and Maths the tutors are supportive and seem to really connect.
We had a couple of issues with my lap top connecting to the first couple of sessions and support team were wonderful getting it all sorted.
My son needed help with Year 12 English because he has a learning difficulty and needed support to maximise the opportunity for him to get a good grade. he has a wonderful tutor, we're really happy with who understands my son's specific requirements. It's great the sessions are recorded to look back on and I get reports straight after the tutoring session so I'm kept up to date with my son's progress. I'm a happy mum
My Daughter is in year 5 and has had 3 sessions with Cluey now and is really enjoying the sessions. She has Maths one week and English the next. The one on one approach is very effective for her.
My 10yo daughter needed some help revisiting and really understanding some foundation concepts in Maths & English from year 4. I researched different tutoring options and trialled a couple. The one we stuck with was Cluey. My daughter likes both of her tutors and keenly sets up her working space prior to each session. She is finding it difficult but preserving with the tutore much more than she would when I've tried to help. The tutors are so patient and kind and encouraging.
I really like the online system for the sessions, but also the reports and homework in The Hib. Every interaction I've had on the phone with the Customer Experience team has been great.
I'd highly recommend Cluey, great investment in your child's education!
