First Language English asks more than general English: a Melaka City student must read for a writer's calculated effects and then write with comparable craft, a route that suits the city's well-read, heritage-minded households and its private and international schools. Depth like this is best built one-to-one.
Our team of experienced English teachers guides a student to read a passage as a set of authorial decisions, then to bring that same deliberateness to directed writing and composition. Taught online from anywhere in Melaka City, the lesson stays focused on the analytical reading and shaped writing that First Language English is designed to reward.
What we cover
First Language English tuition here works the reading and writing demands as a pair. In reading, we teach a student to explain how a writer's vocabulary, imagery, sentence craft and tone shape the reader's response, replacing summary with analysis. In writing, we build directed writing, recasting a source for a specified audience, purpose and form, together with the narrative and descriptive composition the course requires.
Our team of experienced English teachers gives each task a firm planning method and feedback tied to the descriptors your school uses, confirmed against your board's syllabus. The aim is consistently purposeful writing and reading answers that show a confident command of a writer's techniques.
Lessons are online, one-to-one and timetabled around school. The first step is a paid one-hour trial.
