A guide to our English Plus program

The English language is complex and multifaceted, and many students struggle with this subject during their schooling years.

At Dr Study, we’ve designed our comprehensive English Plus tutoring program to ensure students don’t miss a step in their studies.
Read on to discover whether English Plus might be right for you.

What the program covers

Writing, speaking, listening, and reading are all major components of our English Plus program.

Guided by our tutors, students progress through a series of pre-set modules which include foundational worksheets, exercises, quizzes, tests, and more.

Our learning materials are highly engaging, adaptable, and intentionally varied. They are designed to help students to demonstrate their understanding through various formats to strengthen their knowledge and confidence.

While the program structure is pre-set, we adjust content based on our students’ unique needs and aims, creating tailored goals and progress plans to ensure our students are set up for success.

How the program works

Our English Plus program mirrors school-based reading curriculums, so our students receive guidance and support for school-based assessments. Our tutors also provide assignment assistance and work closely with students to edit their own writing, so that they are consistently learning to improve the quality of their work.

We conduct weekly tutoring sessions which run for a minimum of 60 minutes, using mixed method teaching approaches to keep students actively engaged and productive throughout. The teacher-to-student ratio in all of our classes is 1:4, which importantly ensures that each student receives the dedicated support and attention they need.

While we have developed our English Plus program in line with the Australian school curriculum, our students are assessed at international standards, enabling them to truly excel and thrive in their studies.

Our ultimate goal is to prepare our English Plus students for success in their VCE English studies.

Effective English tutoring services

Our team of friendly and experienced tutors support students of all ages and abilities with their English studies. If you’re considering whether English Plus could be the right tutoring program for your children, or if you’re interested in our other tutoring services, feel free to send us a message on our website or call our office on (03) 9590 6000.

The Mainstream English program is designed to lead students directly down the associated VCE English pathways, consisting of VCE English, Literature, English Language and English as Another Language.

Through their hard-work and dedication to students struggling with VCE subjects (me being one of them), Dr. Study had truly helped me attain a higher ATAR than what I thought was possible. Their quality tutoring showcasing their knowledge of their specialised fields, and their ability to connect with their students in order to keep the learning interactive and enjoyable are among the reasons that I would recommend this place to any other students that struggle in school.

Thank you Dr Progress and Olga in particular for giving my son the confidence he was lacking. Your help and guidance as well as constant support ensured that he finally realised not only what he wanted to achieve but also started to believe that his dream is within his reach. He would not have done that without you. Your are truly remarkable with your knowledge and professionalism. Your dedication and scientific approach to studies is second to none.

I am writing this note to indicate how good the curriculum at Dr Progress was for children. The content of the course and the excellent interactive nature of the staff made it easy for children it master the content quiet easily. I found that Dr Abeysekera and her experienced team are really well tailored for teaching, coaching and tutoring students at primary, high school and University level. They also prepare graduates for medical school entry by teaching them different subjects for GAMSAT and prepare research manuscripts and UCAT. I suggest that parents of students and graduates to attend this course in order for students/graduates to be successful.

A very happy mother as my daughter has excelled in her writing triple-fold after attending Essay Excellence classes by Dr Progress last year. She has been challenged in her writing to take it to the next level.Here''s her testimony:As a Dr. Progress – Essay Excellence student, I have first-hand experience in how the tuition works. Classes here are great, and I love going to them every week. Classes here are organised, structured well and changed for each student’s needs. We have children of a range of ages in each class, from kinder kids to VCE students. Everyone participates in discussions and share’s their ideas with the others. Personally, Dr. Progress focuses on my preference for working by myself. Other students like to work with others and verbalise their ideas. I started 12 months ago, and I have seen a massive improvement in my writing skills. I’ve been introduced to new writing techniques, sentence structures and different kinds of essays (just to name a few). Overall, I am a much better writer than I was before and that’s all thanks to Dr. Progress.
