Course Goals

Improve Academic Performance

Every student has different needs, so we offer personalised tutoring for students to tackle their weaknesses and reach their academic goals. Our tutors provide students with guidance, examples and individual feedback to develop their ability to craft quality responses and achieve greater results.

Build Confidence and Resilience

The Year 8 English course is designed to give students all the practice and support they need to boost their confidence in their own ability. We wholeheartedly encourage them to experiment with new ideas, ask questions and seek feedback to not only achieve academic success, but also grow as a life-long learner.

Appreciate the Applications of English

Through engaging lessons which encourage students to participate and contribute, we debunk the idea that "English is boring" and lead them to enjoy what they are learning. Our mentors help students draw connections with ideas and texts to show them how English can be used in personal, social and learning contexts.

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.

The tutors in YGA makes everyone feel like a family. They’re always very welcoming and make the learning environment very enjoyable to come to every week! They are very responsive outside of class and always happy to help with anything we struggle with.
