Redefine yourself as a master of metalanguage. Understand English as a system in flux – one that influences and is influenced by culture and society. Learn how language is acquired and adapted, how meaning is made and how effective communication is or isn't achieved. Cluey will be there to support you all the way, as you track and measure your progress in this challenging but rewarding academic field.
Your content plan appears in the learning environment, sequenced to your learning needs and accessible with ease by you and your tutor.

“My daughter needed tutoring in high school English and we live in a rural location. It was hard to find someone to tutor her locally and difficult to organise a location. Her Cluey tutor is fantastic and has helped her improve a lot. The sessions are regular and I get detailed feedback as a parent. Highly recommend.”View on Product Review
