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.

If you’re comparing options across the wider area, see our English tutoring in Sydney page.

About Our English Tutoring in Leichhardt

Leichhardt has long been a suburb where families take education seriously, from the strong community around Leichhardt Public School to the parents weighing up selective pathways for their kids. NextStepAcademy provides one-on-one English tutoring in Leichhardt for students from primary school through to Year 12, including those preparing for the HSC. Whether your child needs help with creative writing, comprehension, essay structure or close analysis, we match them with a tutor who fits.

What sets NextStepAcademy apart is that every session is completely one-on-one, and every tutor is hand-picked for your child specifically. We do not send you a list to scroll through. We listen to what your child is struggling with, consider their personality and learning style, and find an English tutor who is genuinely the right fit. Lessons are built around your child, not a generic program.

English tutoring pairs well with broader academic support, and many families in Leichhardt also ask us about selective school preparation or general study skills coaching alongside their English sessions. If that sounds useful, we can talk through both at once.

English Tutoring for Leichhardt Students

Our tutors work with students from local schools across Leichhardt, including Leichhardt Public School and Sydney Secondary College Leichhardt. 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 at Sydney Secondary College Leichhardt and beyond, the HSC English result carries real weight. It feeds directly into the ATAR and can be the difference between a first and second preference university course. English is not an easy subject to self-correct either, because the feedback loop is slow and students often do not realise they have been writing essays the wrong way until a teacher hands back a marked paper.

A lot of parents describe the same thing: their child comes home quieter than usual, avoids talking about school, and starts saying things like 'I'm just bad at English.' That drop in confidence often shows up before the report card does. Writing feels too hard, reading feels pointless, and the gap between what they know and what the task requires just keeps growing.

The right English tutor does not just re-cover the same ground in a louder voice. They sit with a student, work out exactly where the thinking breaks down, and build from there. NextStepAcademy matches students with tutors who have the subject knowledge and the patience to rebuild both skill and belief at the same time, because one without the other rarely sticks.

Achieve Your English Goals with NextStepAcademy

Students working with a NextStepAcademy English tutor in Leichhardt come away with more than a better mark on their next assignment. They develop clearer writing habits, stronger reading comprehension, and a real sense of how to approach an exam question without freezing. That shift in confidence tends to carry across other subjects too.

Our tutors are mentors as much as they are teachers. They remember what it felt like to stare at a blank page before a deadline, and they use that understanding to make lessons feel less like a chore and more like progress. Every session is shaped around what your child needs that week, not a fixed syllabus checklist.

Finding the Perfect English tutor Is Easy with NextStepAcademy

Getting started is straightforward. You tell us a little about your child, what year they are in, what they are finding difficult, and what kind of support you are after. Within 48 to 72 hours, we send you a tutor profile that matches those details. You get to review it, ask questions, and decide before anything is booked.

Every NextStepAcademy tutor is Working With Children Check verified and double reference checked before they ever meet a student. There is no upfront payment, no lock-in contract, and if the first lesson does not feel right, our First Lesson Guarantee means you are not out of pocket. You pay per lesson, and you can pause or stop at any time.
