English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) is a senior English subject designed for students who speak a language other than English at home or have recently arrived in Australia. It is offered across NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, and WA with tailored curriculums that support English language development alongside critical reading and writing skills. Modedu provides clear, supportive, and structured 1:1 online tutoring to help EAL/D students succeed in school assessments and external exams while improving their academic and everyday English.
Expert guidance for complex concepts
Many EAL/D students face challenges beyond content knowledge:
Understanding task instructions and exam questions
Expressing ideas clearly in written English
Adapting to Australian academic conventions
Limited access to language scaffolding in class
Our tutors specialise in supporting multilingual learners by building grammar, vocabulary, essay structure, and confidence.
