When children miss key English skills, it can start to affect their confidence in the classroom. They may lose motivation and find it harder to keep up.
That is why our English support is designed to build understanding step by step, helping your child strengthen foundations, feel more confident, and make reading and writing feel more manageable.
For more than 30 years, we've supported primary and high school students who are:
When your child gets started with Kinetic Education, our English tutors begin by identifying their current level against the Australian Curriculum. This helps us understand the skills they've mastered and where they need the most support right now. From there, we create a personalised learning plan tailored to your child's needs.
Your child's personalised learning plan is delivered weekly and can be completed at home on a tablet or computer. New 20-minute English lessons are added based on your child's progress, helping keep learning at the right level and supporting a consistent learning routine.
As your child strengthens their foundations, you'll see them build skills and confidence in reading and writing, and keep moving forward at a pace that feels right for them.
Every family is matched with an English tutor who oversees their child's personalised learning plan and progress. Tutors also provide additional support with writing tasks, including planning, structure, grammar, punctuation and feedback on each draft.
For children who are struggling at school, learning something new can feel overwhelming. When confidence is already low and key skills are missing, it can be hard to keep up, even when they are genuinely trying. It is not always easy to pinpoint exactly where the struggle is coming from in a busy classroom. Lessons keep moving and the focus is often on what children are learning right now, not the earlier skills they may have missed along the way, which can quietly keep holding them back.
At Kinetic Education, we identify the specific gaps in your child's reading and writing against the Australian Curriculum. From there, we take your child back to the point where those gaps first appeared, and build a personalised learning plan around the level they are ready for.
We tailor learning to your child's needs, so they can work through their personalised learning plan at a pace that feels right for them. As a family, you also have real tutor support along the way, so you can understand how your child is progressing and they can get extra help when they need it. As they progress, their confidence grows and they start to feel better about learning.
Many children are doing well at school, but because they are coping and not actively needing extra support, they can slip into the "doing fine" category. This is more common than many families realise. Over time, they may start to coast along rather than being challenged, which can affect motivation and confidence. If your child is going well at school, you might not feel like extra support is necessary at first. Or you might be considering a little extra help to keep them moving forward, but not be sure what support they would benefit from most.
We identify where your child is up to across a range of English concepts from the Australian Curriculum, to understand what they know, what they feel confident with, and where they are ready to be extended.
From there, we create a personalised learning plan that strengthens key reading and writing skills and adds the right level of challenge. As they progress, we continue to support what they are learning at school while also introducing new concepts early, so they feel prepared when those topics come up in class.
When a child is already one step ahead, extra support can help them stay motivated and comfortable with more advanced concepts. It builds depth in their understanding and provides the right level of challenge so they continue developing strong English and Maths skills.
We identify your child's current level across English against the Australian Curriculum and where they're ready to be challenged next. From there, we create a personalised learning plan with extension activities that keeps them progressing at a steady pace. As your child moves forward, lessons adapt to build deeper understanding of reading, writing and language, which can be especially helpful when preparing for exams.
This approach is particularly beneficial for students who are:
Our online tutoring supports neurodivergent children and those with different learning needs, including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, and more.
School can sometimes feel overwhelming for neurodivergent children. For many, learning at home in a familiar, safe space can be a great fit. We also know confidence and consistency can be just as important as the content itself.
Our online learning is engaging, with short, interactive lessons and real rewards. We often recommend regular sessions of around 15 to 20 minutes, so learning feels manageable and achievable.
Every child learns differently, so we start with a conversation to understand your child’s needs and make sure our approach is the right fit for your family. From there, we create a personalised learning plan based on what your child needs support with. You’ll also receive a weekly progress report with clear updates on how they’re going, along with regular phone check-ins from your tutor to discuss their learning and progress.
Homeschooling looks different for every family. Whether it's a personal choice, frequent travel, flexibility for your child, or a learning style that works better outside a traditional classroom, having the right support can make a big difference.
We work alongside homeschooling families to provide structured English and Maths learning that fits into your routine. We identify your child's current level, then build a personalised learning plan each week that adapts as they learn. This takes the guesswork out of what to teach and when, because your child's learning is planned week by week, and they are always working on the reading and writing skills they need most.
Your child can work at a pace that feels right for them, with their tutor monitoring their learning and progress along the way. You’ll also receive clear weekly updates, so you can see what your child has been working on, how they’re progressing and how they are tracking over time.
Preparing for exams can feel stressful for both children and parents. Whether it’s NAPLAN, selective school entry exams, scholarships or senior assessments, it can be hard to know what to focus on and how to prepare without adding extra pressure.
We identify your child’s current level in English, then create a personalised learning plan that focuses on the reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary and comprehension skills they need most, while also helping them stay one step ahead. Learning is planned week by week and adapts as your child progresses, so you can feel confident they’re working on the right areas at the right time.
Our online learning helps children build a consistent study routine in the lead-up to assessments, while their tutor monitors their progress and adjusts their learning as they go. You’ll also receive regular progress updates, giving you a clear picture of what your child is working on and how they are tracking as exam time approaches.
When your child gets started with Kinetic Education, our English tutors begin by understanding where they are currently at in their learning. This helps us see what they already feel confident with and where they may need a little extra support. From there, we create a personalised learning plan tailored to your child’s needs.
We update your child's learning plan with new activities for the week, selected based on their progress each week. Your child's learning plan is structured around three learning stages: Revision and Catch-Up, Consolidation, and Extension.
When your child first starts with Kinetic Education, their learning plan targets the areas they need the most support with. By filling these gaps first, they build stronger foundations and feel more confident with what they are learning in the classroom.
Once their foundations are stronger, your child practises what is being taught at school and strengthens their understanding. This is when concepts start to click and progress becomes easier to see.
When your child is feeling confident, we give them the opportunity to move one step ahead. This keeps learning motivating and supports steady progress, while still moving at a pace that works for them.
When joining Kinetic Education your family is assigned a tutor. Your tutor is responsible for making sure your children get off to a great start and oversees the personalised learning plan set for your child.
Our weekly lesson plans ensure that children have the support and direction they need to work at their own pace throughout the curriculum. Even though every activity is designed to teach your child and provide them with instant feedback, we realise that sometimes children need even more help.
That's where our English tutors step in. If your child needs a little extra help or encouragement, their tutor is there to guide them through it, giving feedback on writing tasks including planning, structure, grammar, punctuation and clarity, so they have the confidence to tackle the next piece on their own.
Our tutors are also on hand for parents. Parents can call our tutors to discuss their child's educational needs and progress, as well as the weekly reports we provide you.
Trusted by 100,000+ Australian Families
We know that sometimes children don't understand why they need to do extra English work at home, and they might need a bit of extra motivation. That's why every child enrolled with us gets to experience our unique rewards system.
Here's how it works: your child earns points after every English activity, which they can save up and swap for real rewards like Smiggle, Myer, and WISH gift cards.
When English feels hard, children can quickly start to doubt themselves. It can affect their confidence, motivation and willingness to keep trying, both in class and at home.
Kinetic Education provides English support from Foundation to Year 12, helping children start at the level that is right for them. Through personalised learning and real tutor support, your child can strengthen key English skills, address learning gaps and feel more capable as they move through each stage of school.
100% recommend to any homeschoolers out there.
Great program! We homeschool and Kinetic has been a great support system with keeping us in line with the curriculum. 100% recommend to any homeschoolers out there.
I cannot recommend Kinetic Learning enough if your kids struggle with Math & English.
My son has been a Kinetic Learner for over a year and the lessons have really helped him as he is Dyslexic. His school teachers have seen a big difference in English so much so that he no longer needs support in reading. My son was not a lover of Math but since starting his journey with Kinetic Learning, he is engaged more and is willing to want to complete his weekly lessons. I cannot recommend Kinetic Learning enough if your kids struggle with Math & English. The support team are fantastic and are constantly in contact to discuss your kids progress and what they can do to help make the lessons manageable.
We're glad to have found them.
Kinetic Education became our life saver after an extended oversea travel which left my children bereft of Australian curriculum. Few months into the program, they were able to bounce back and in time for their Naplan. Graeme sent some Naplan prep tests ahead of Naplan. The tutors always called to check, the reports always on time, and the live support, excellent. Btw, Naplan results are just out and they excelled!
He is so good at maths now he can do calculations quicker than me!
My son has dramatically improved with his English and Maths from Kinetic, he has caught up in his grade and gained confidence in his ability to learn. I strongly recommend this online learning program to any parent who has a child who is struggling at school, or simply wants to improve in their grade. My child has difficulty focusing in a classroom environment and this program fixes that issue. I get to spend one on one time with him learning together, he pays attention and actually enjoys his lessons. He is so good at maths now he can do calculations quicker than me! Definitely worth it!
Kinetic Education has worked well with my 10yr ADD son.
Kinetic Education has worked well with my 10yr ADD son. The online platform is so easy to use. It gives my son the freedom to work on tasks in his own time without any pressure. The added perks keeps him really motivated. As a busy mum, the self-paced learning approach means I can be hands-off and it's been really satisfying seeling my son take ownership and responsibility in completing tasks on his own, and doing well.
My kids went from 6months behind their class in math skills to 1year ahead after using kinetic education for 2 years. Consistent practice and feedback from the team. Website works great on all kinds of devices. Absolutely recommend!!!
Within 3 months we can see the difference.
We found Kinetic online and went with it as this was the only platform which knew about kids on ASD High functioning activities. My son and Daughter got on the program and within 3 months we can see the difference where both of them had no difficulty doing their NAPLAN this year. Its 15 minutes a day gives the children an edge at school. Communication is great with regular calls and checkups from tutor and admin. Highly recommend.
This was fabulous to get us started for our homeschool journey.
The communication between you and the company/tutors is excellent. The material is very well designed to teach based off of Australian curriculum. My daughter responded well to the activities. The material is adjustable and relevant to what level my daughter is at. This was invaluable to us to start our journey into homeschool.
It has given me peace of mind I’m giving him the support he needs.
Deciding to homeschool my children this year after struggling with my son who has dyslexia and not getting support at school. I have been using kinetic education to help with english and maths and it has given me peace of mind I’m giving him the support he needs. His confidence has improved. I have a happier boy. With our tutor checking in regularly we can see the improvement. So happy we decided to go this way.
We love the support and flexibility Kinetic Education provide.
We’ve partnering with Kinetic Education for going in 12 months now. Our children love the lesson flows, they get to learn independently, have the phenomenal support from online tutors (real humans you can speak to), and as a parent I’m in regular contact with the teaching staff to receive real time updates on where our children are at. You can dial programs back to allow more time for integration, or speed them up in areas they are excelling. We love the support and flexibility Kinetic Education provide. Highly recommend their services whether you homeschool or are simply looking for additional supportive resources to aid your child in their learning journey.
We started kinetic education a few months ago. We never expected such outstanding results. We saw an improvement from week one! Our child has ASD and ADHD and has always needed a little more help. We have not looked back since joining Kinetic Education. Our daughters school even approached us asking what we were doing as our daughter had advanced in such a short amount of time. Our daughter quickly went from shutting down during maths to achieving 100% on maths sheets and tests. We can't thank this program enough.
My 6yr old has come leaps and bounds with his English, even though he has Dyslexia and Dyspraxia.
Cant recommend Kinetic enough. We homeschool both of our boys and this program has added everything that they need for maths and English. My 6yr old has come leaps and bounds with his English, even though he has Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. The Tutor is awesome, monthly feedback is amazing and the weekly reports go a long way!! Thanks for everything you do Kinetic!
This program changed my perspective on learning programs for ever!
This program changed my perspective on learning programs for ever! My once struggling child exceeded in her naplan tests achieving above average of the school rate! Wow! I highly recommend this being an addition to every child's homework!!!
We couldn’t be happier with how the kids are progressing.
We couldn’t be happier with how the kids are progressing. We’ve seen our daughter (who was really struggling with maths and English start to enjoy learning again. The team at kinetic education are so attentive and in tune with how the kids are learning, adjusting the weekly lessons to balance confidence and progression. This years NAPLAN result has been so encouraging and I think it comes from the confidence she’s developed from kinetic. Our son, who loves learning is being consistently challenged and we have watched his learning surpass his year level! It’s so nice to be able to get a handle on how the kids are going with their education.
After being with Kinetic Education for a year, my child has excelled in both English and Math.
Excellent program! After being with Kinetic Education for a year, my child has excelled in both English and Math. Received positive feedbacks from the school commented on how good the persuasive writing work was, I know it’s because of Kinetic Education, because I can see a dramatic difference after just a year of tutoring. This year, my child did very well in NAPLAN, and asked to enrol for the Australian Maths Competition as well as the ICAS. Thank you Kinetic Education team.
We are happy to finally find an online platform that actually delivers.
It’s a great platform. We are happy to finally find an online platform that actually delivers. Kinetic education was the first platform that correctly identified the gaps in my daughter’s learning and fixed it and because of it she showed tremendous improvement in her NAPLAN assessment. Their teacher support is great and the way they have structured the course is excellent.
We couldn't be happier with the support!
Our 15 year old son (who lives with ASD and ADHD) was really struggling with Maths - after his most recent assessment he has now filled in the learning gaps he had from year 4, 5 & 6!!! We couldn't be happier with the support and program and we look forward to him working at a year 9 level!
Great option for at home tutoring
This has been a great option for our busy family- my boys have the spectrum with one being well advanced and the other filling in his English gaps.... both are engaged, progressing and the person approach of the human tutor checking in provides the adjustments that computer only programs could never provide.
This is Perfect for school children
This is so useful and so practical for busy families like me. And also my daughter love this and enjoys. Very practical way for her to understand and her performance increases very well. Tutors are very supportive for my child and myself. Very happy of choosing this.
Self-paced, tailored learning suits busy family
Every week there are reports generated so that I could track the progress of my son. He started to make phone calls to his tutors when he needed help. Having tutor-learner interaction is a great bonus for online learning method.
Great online tutoring option for busy families
We like the fact that the tutoring can be aligned or tailored with what school is teaching in a particular class. Allowing my child to relate work back to class work.
Perfect education support for busy parents!
We are pleased to have the support from Kinetic Education. My daughter is regularly practising maths and English through their system. She is happy and stress free, we are stress free too!
After trialing other math tutoring options, this has been the perfect fit for my children and me (just quietly). From the start, Kinetic met my children where they were at mathematically and focuses on their key learning needs. They have been engaged the whole way through. Kinetic makes it easy to follow and perform tasks in the comfort of your own home. With visual tools to aid learning, online tutors and a point system resulting in rewards, it's a total learning framework. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kinetic. Give it a go!
My 2 children (year 4 and year 6) have both participated in Kinetic’s tutoring program this year and I’ve been really pleased with their progress. There has been noticeable gains in their grades and confidence in the classroom. The program is simple, easy to fit in around busy lives, and the support you receive is great. Highly recommend.
What every parent wants and needs!!
Fantastic program for my 13 year old son. While there are a few small things that could be changed to help my son individually - the program as a whole has been fantastic. His clarity and confidence has grown immensely- so much so, even other have commented on the change. The program adjusts each week to help my son to go over things he’s missed or not learnt, as well as new content to challenge his skill level. To see our son with learning difficulties excited and determined to do his math and English is what every parent wants and needs!!
Started during covid home schooling and now it is part of the homework routine
The content is very good. The way the kids move forward through it is easy and user friendly. Weekly reports show me how they went with the current content and we chat about any difficult modules. The maths doctor assessment and great at identifying gaps and we then address them with the tutor, I also show their teachers at school. The tutors ring regularly and we discuss progress for each child and reassess and set content based on their abilities. I feel it is very much a partnership between the tutors, parents and students.
Kids loved it and found it helpful
My 4 kids loved kinetic education, the lessons, the games and the rewards. This was a big help during home schooling and the tutors were great if my kids needed help. My youngest got a confidence booster from this platform over the years. I would definitely recommend joining your kids with kinetic education.
We use Kinetic Education to support our home schooling journey. I cannot be happier with their online system and my kids love it.
Kinetic Education really helped with home schooling
We home schooled our son for 15 months, and using the Kinetic Education service we were able to ensure he continued progressing with his maths and english. The Maths Doctor capability meant we were able to identify some early gaps in his maths education, which were then rectified over the year. He went from average Year 3 maths skill, to working on Year 8 skills during that time. The tutoring service was also excellent although we struggled to get our son to use it as much as he should have. Would highly recommend to others.
Professional, polite & effective!!
My children's math has improved so much since employing the services of Kinetic Education. Struggling with school-based teaching methods, they identify the gap in the child's understanding, and then attack the problem from another angle. This allows the child that grasp the concept and also then understand and learn several methods, which is of great benefit to the child, even from a life skills perspective. During COVID (and home schooling) , i also had th opportunity to HEAR some of the instructors on phone calls with my daughter and it was so nice to hear how they dealt and communicated with her. Very patient and treated her like a grown-up rather than a 10yr old. I think she really appreciated that. Thanks so much guys. Keep up the good work!!
Well worth the money spent on tutoring!
Kinetic Education has been fantastic for my Grade 4 and Grade 2 children. My older child was behind in maths since Grade 2 and I only realised this during the Victorian lockdown and my homeschooling of her (much to my horror). Kinetic has slowly built up her confidence in herself, and brought her to the curriculum standard that she should be at. My son was the "freebie" child and he has maintained and now exceeded his level of maths, and is happy to be involved in tutoring as well as it reinforces his confidence in maths. The online format is suitable for kids who are used to screens, and there is enough variety to keep them interested. The explanations seem quite clear and age-appropriate. Any lesson that they have not performed well at is repeated and scaled down a bit so they have a chance to grasp it at another time. The tutors are accessible by phone and guide the kids rather than taking over. My kids are comfortable talking to them independently and as a parent I appreciate the phone calls from the staff who let us know how the kids have performed, and their strengths and weaknesses. One of the best things about Kinetic is that all this tutoring continues at home whilst I am at work so it doesn't require any driving, waiting or being present. Plus the kids are motivated by the vouchers that are offered with the reward points! I highly recommend Kinetic as an affordable (much cheaper than some other options that I researched), extensive and educational support for school kids.
This program has changed our life!
We chose to try Kinetic as we noticed our 9 year old seemed to be struggling with his grade 4 homeschooling (Covid-19 times) and we were worried he wasn’t at the level he should be. We couldn’t get over the change in him in just two weeks. The building blocks test found out what he had missed in previous years and created a specialised program just for him. His confidence has tripled and he is now nailing his regular school work. The points system that Kinetic use to encourage him have worked wonders. He has now started a similar points system at home and does all the household chores without being asked. Adam his tutor checks in regularly to make sure he is getting the most out of the program. Can not recommend this program more highly.
We reached out for something strong & thorough in reading, writing & arithmetic when COVID homeschooling revealed significant gaps in our little angels’ understanding & confidence with the basics - and now they’re beginning to soar!
We joined Kinetic Education to help my homeschooled daughter boost her maths skills. The program was easy to use and had very friendly tutors to talk to over the phone whilst using an interactive whiteboard, whenever we needed them. My daughter was very apprehensive when it came to math but the program found where her gaps in knowledge were and worked on consolidating that base knowledge. Thankfully this program in addition to my daughter's motivation and us working through the national math text books, she went from a C- standard in math to a B+ / A- standard and earned her place at the Grammar school we had our eyes on! We were happy with the service, cost (where else will you find unlimited tutoring and a personalised program for only $26/wk ?!), and outcome... Thanks Kinetic Education :)
The program provided me more confidence from our assigned tutor. If I had not have received a call from Leah, the kids would not have started the course. It was the push and direction they needed. Homeschooling is challenging & the follow up was exactly what was needed. The encouragement from everyone helped me, which reflects on the commitment and integrity of Kinetic.
An essential part of our homeschooling routine
This has taken the guess work and planning for Math and English off my shoulders for our homeschooling. My kids went from having little interest in these areas to now asking to do extra tasks each week! Just signed up their younger sibling who is just as keen to get started.
We homeschooled our 2 eldest children for majority of 2022 and used kinetic as our main math and English units. It was accepted as curriculum and was easy to access even from in the car when we were on adventures. They returned to school and both kids were above where they needed to be and thriving still. Thanks Kinetic!
Lifesaver in our homeschool journey!
Very satisfied with the course content. It has helped my kids become confident learners. My eldest has become independent with her work and my youngest is finally starting to feel like she is a capable learner after many years of low self-esteem with maths & english.
Kinetic Education allowed my son to regain his confidence in learning after disengagement from school. The program was perfect for identifying gaps in previous Learning as well as providing profession A homeschool must as a support for children who struggle with self-confidence and classroom learning.
My son is academically gifted and he doesn't frequently get the extension he needs in the school classroom. Kinetic app has been providing him more opportunities to extend himself. The content is clear as well that he can learn himself without assistance. I like how it tracks the competency and keep repeating until they master the lesson.
My kids find this program is able to offer extension activities that build on the work they are doing at school.
In Foundation to Year 2, children build the early English foundations everything else relies on. This covers letter sounds and phonics, sight words, early reading, sentence building, and an introduction to grammar and punctuation. Children move from blending simple words into reading short sentences and beginning to write with capital letters, full stops and basic sentence structure by the end of Year 2.
Kinetic Education follows the Australian Curriculum, but your child will always start at the level that is right for them, based on their current skills and weekly progress. From there, their personalised learning plan helps build early reading and writing skills, strengthen confidence and support them with short interactive lessons and regular tutor check-ins.
In Years 3 to 6, the curriculum covers reading comprehension, spelling patterns, grammar and punctuation, and narrative and persuasive writing. Children build skills in vocabulary, sentence structure, descriptive language techniques and more independent writing. Years 3 and 5 also include NAPLAN.
Kinetic Education follows the Australian Curriculum, but your child will always start at the level that is right for them. Their personalised weekly learning plan helps identify and address gaps, strengthen key English skills and support what they are learning in class, while building confidence.
Kinetic Education follows the Australian Curriculum, but your child will always start at the level that is right for them. Their personalised learning plan helps identify and address gaps from primary school, build understanding as English becomes more analytical and support their transition into high school learning with more confidence.
In Years 11 and 12, English depends on the senior pathway your child is studying and the state they are in. This may include VCE, HSC, QCE, WACE or SACE, with a focus on language analysis, text study, essay writing and exam preparation.
Kinetic Education supports senior students with English content linked to their year level and specific pathway, while still starting with what they understand and where support is needed. Their learning plan and tutor support can help strengthen key skills, prepare for assessments and exams, and manage the pressure of senior English.
