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.

Our weekly tutoring sessions run for a minimum of 60 minutes, and we provide bonus homework which promotes progress, organisation, and self-directed study.

Geraldine M

We are so grateful to have found Dr Study in our local area. They have helped both our kids in English and Maths, when we felt completely helpless after the Covid lockdowns and not knowing where to turn to when our kids needed assistance with their learning. I am most impressed with the way the program can be adapted to help with specific needs of your child and can be flexible. I truely feel my kids are being well looked after at Dr Study and I can relax knowing that I or my kids can reach out to them if we face any other challenges. Thankyou so much to all the staff and tutors!

George Cherukara-Mathew

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.

Michael Dent

Sanjaya Yapa

I am so glad that I chose Dr Progress a few months ago for my daughter. Because of the professional education provided at Dr Progress, she improved a lot. Big thanks to Dr Olga Abesekara for professional guidance. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Progress to all parents out there. Dr Progress is simply the best.

Anna E

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.

Degu Abebe

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.

Zahra H

Dr.Progress has helped me so much throughout my VCE years. From being that student who knew nothing about essay writing to becoming one of the few top students in my english cohort. Thank you Olga for your dedication towards students like myself and making a positive change for my education!

Kerrianne McCall

The team at Dr. Progress are very professional. All the staff have a real passion for helping children excel at learning and make this process fun and engaging.

Nalinika Senanayake

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.
