Impact of English Tutoring on Academic Performance Studies have shown that English language proficiency greatly impacts the

academic performance of students coming from non-English language speaking countries. Rebecca English and Iris E. Dumenden in their study "Fish out of water: refugee and international students in mainstream Australian schools" published in the International Journal of Inclusive Education in October 2012 wrote, We find that our students' habitus, conditioned by their previous schooling experiences in their home countries, did not match their new Australian schools, resulting in frustration with, and alienation from, their mainstream schools. Gigi Foster in her study "The impact of international students on measured learning and standards in Australian higher education" published in the Economics of Education Review in October 2012 wrote that international students from non-English language speaking backgrounds perform poorly in Australian universities. Maureen Snow Andrade, in her study International students in English-speaking universities" published in the Journal of Research in International Education in August 2006, wrote that English language proficiency affects the over-all academic performance of international students in educational institutions in English-speaking countries. The Australian Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations commissioned in May 2008 the University of Melbournes Centre for the Study of Higher Education to undertake the study called The impact of English language proficiency and workplace readiness on the employment outcomes of tertiary international students. The study shows that English language proficiency is one of the key factors influencing the employment outcomes of tertiary international students in Australia. The dominance of the English language worldwide cannot be denied. The British Council reports that one in four of us speak English to some level of competence.

The Harvard Business Review, meanwhile, reports that more and more companies worldwide are making English as the official mode of communication. Instead of going to an empty home after school or engaging in destructive activities, school aged students can benefit from after school English tutoring.
