Course Goals

Improve Academic Performance

Many students have difficulty improving in English as they find that the assessment requirements and grading system are quite vague. Our tutors guide students through each HSC Standard English module, filling in the gaps in their understanding and breaking down the steps they need to take to maximise their marks.

Build Confidence and Resilience

We provide quality feedback and encouraging advice to hone students' strengths and help them address their weaknesses. Our Year 12 Standard English course is designed to give students the confidence and practice they need to master all forms of writing and perform under the pressure of the HSC.

Appreciate the Applications of English

Students are often demotivated when it comes to English as it is a highly abstract subject which may not translate directly to the real world. By highlighting the logic and thought behind English, we teach students valuable skills which will support them beyond school, including critical thinking, creativity and communication.

Reviews

I was very behind on my class work before I came to YGA. But since I joined for physics, english advanced and maths advanced, I quickly caught up with all my class work and now we’re already learning ahead. Highly recommend them for everyone who’s looking for not only improving your marks, but also your confidence level.

I’ve been with YGA since I was in year 10 and I love every minute there! Maths extension 1 class is filled with mentors who personally understand your strengths and weaknesses and teach the best way to cater for them. They’re also very responsive and always there to support us even outside the classroom.
