Tristan Diakos, Co-Founder NextStepAcademy

Growing up, I struggled in almost every subject. My parents enrolled me in a large tutoring centre, but sitting in a crowded room, I could barely answer a single question.

Everything changed when they found me a 1-on-1 private tutor who actually tailored learning to how I thought. With the right support, I went from falling behind to graduating in the top 7% of NSW and earning an Engineering degree at USYD.

I built NextStepAcademy to give every student that exact same turning point.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my child doesn't click with the tutor?

How quickly can we get started?

How do you track and report on my child's progress?

You’ll never be left guessing. Your tutor sends you a written summary after every single lesson covering what was worked on, how your child responded, and what’s planned next. Every 10 lessons you receive a detailed progress report highlighting improvements, areas still to focus on, and the strategy for the next block of sessions. Many parents share these reports directly with their child’s school teachers.

When is the best time to start tutoring?

There’s no wrong time to start. Some families come to us when they notice their child falling behind, others start early to build a strong foundation before things get difficult. The earlier you start, the easier it is to build confidence and close gaps before they widen. That said, we see incredible results even when students start mid-term or just weeks before exams. The best time is whenever you’re ready.

Will my child be assessed or tested?

There’s no formal test or intimidating assessment. Your tutor will naturally gauge your child’s level during the first session through conversation and light exercises. The goal is to build rapport and understand where your child is at, what they’re confident with and where the gaps are. From there your tutor creates a tailored plan that targets exactly what your child needs.

Are there contracts or upfront payments?

No. There are no contracts, no lock-in periods, no minimum lesson commitments and no upfront fees. We charge your card 24 hours after each lesson on a simple pay-as-you-go basis. You can pause, reschedule or cancel at any time with no penalties. If your child can’t make a lesson, just let us know 24 hours ahead and you won’t be charged. It’s tutoring on your terms.

Does my child actually need a tutor?

Tutoring isn’t just for students who are falling behind. Many of the highest-performing students in the country work with a private tutor behind the scenes. A tutor becomes a partner in your child’s education, someone who fills the gaps the classroom can’t, builds real confidence, and teaches strategies that last well beyond school. Whether your child needs to catch up or wants to push ahead, one-on-one support accelerates both.

How long are lessons and how often should they happen?

You decide with your tutor based on what works for your family. Most primary school students see the best results with 1-hour weekly sessions. High school students typically do 1.5 hours. For Year 11-12 students preparing for HSC, many families choose twice a week or extend to 2-hour sessions during assessment periods. There’s no fixed schedule and you can adjust the frequency anytime.

Will the tutor provide worksheets and study materials?

Yes, everything is taken care of. Your tutor has access to our library of over 7,000 resources covering every year level and subject, including worksheets, practice papers, past exams and study materials. They select the right resources for your child’s level and goals, and can also create custom materials when needed. You never need to source or print anything yourself.

Is the first lesson free?

The first lesson isn’t free, but it is completely risk-free. It’s covered by our First Lesson Guarantee which means if after the first session you aren’t happy with the tutor we’ve matched your child with, you don’t pay a cent. No questions asked. If you are happy, and we’re confident you will be, you simply add your payment details and continue with lessons on your schedule.

English Tutoring Support in Drummoyne

Our english tutors build every lesson around the syllabus set by ACARA, the national curriculum authority, so your child is working on exactly what their school covers, not a generic program. If you’re comparing options across the wider area, see our English tutoring in Sydney page.

About Our English Tutoring in Drummoyne

Families living close to the water in Drummoyne tend to have full schedules, and when English starts slipping down the priority list, it can be hard to know where to turn. NextStepAcademy connects students in Drummoyne with a dedicated one-on-one English tutor who works with them directly, at home or online, across all year levels from primary through to HSC.

What sets NextStepAcademy apart is the care that goes into the matching process. Every tutor is hand-picked based on your child's year level, learning style, and the specific areas they're struggling with, whether that's essay writing, close reading, or building a consistent study routine. There's no generic approach here, just focused, personal support that actually fits your child.

English tutoring pairs naturally with other subjects many Drummoyne students need support in. If your child is also finding maths challenging, NextStepAcademy offers the same personalised approach for maths tutoring in Drummoyne.

English Tutoring for Drummoyne Students

Our tutors work with students from local schools across Drummoyne, including Drummoyne Public School and Victoria Avenue Public School. Whether your child is in a selective stream, working through standard curriculum, or sitting their HSC at one of these schools, your English tutor builds lessons that match the pace, assessment style and reporting periods of their specific classroom.

Why Is a English tutor Important?

For students approaching their HSC in Drummoyne, English is a subject that carries real weight. It's compulsory, it contributes directly to the ATAR, and strong written communication can be the difference between the university pathway a student is aiming for and a frustrating near-miss. Getting the right support early matters more than most families realise.

Often it's a quiet thing at first. A reluctance to read aloud, a vague answer when you ask how school went, essays left until the last minute. English asks students to think critically and express ideas under pressure, and when they don't feel confident doing that, the avoidance tends to grow. Parents in Drummoyne often sense something is off long before the report card reflects it.

A well-matched English tutor does more than go over the schoolwork again. They rebuild a student's belief in their own voice, help them understand what markers are actually looking for, and give them strategies they can carry into every assessment. NextStepAcademy's matching process is designed to find that person for your child, not just a tutor who's available.

Achieve Your English Goals with NextStepAcademy

Students working with a NextStepAcademy English tutor in Drummoyne typically see improvements across their written work, their ability to analyse texts, and their confidence going into exams. Beyond the marks, they tend to develop better study habits and a clearer understanding of how to approach assignments without the last-minute panic.

The tutors NextStepAcademy works with understand that a teenager who feels heard in a lesson is a teenager who actually engages. Sessions are shaped around how your child thinks and communicates, not a fixed script. For many students, that shift in dynamic is what finally makes English click.

Finding the Perfect English tutor Is Easy with NextStepAcademy

Getting started is straightforward. You tell NextStepAcademy about your child, including their year level, what they're finding difficult, and what they enjoy, and a matched tutor profile lands in your inbox within 48 to 72 hours. You get to review it before anything is confirmed.

Every NextStepAcademy tutor is WWCC verified and double reference checked before they ever meet a student. There's no upfront payment, no lock-in contract, and the First Lesson Guarantee means if the fit isn't right, you're not out of pocket. It's a process built around trust from the start.
