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 have tried other tutoring centers and YGA has been the only one that really understands me on a personal level. The tutors went above and beyond and took time off their own schedule outside of class to chat with me when I was worried about my marks and this really helped with my stress.
Dominic Nitsos
Penrith Christian College
I always look forward to coming here after a long day of school. I always feel welcomed and never feel judged for asking any questions or help with my assignments or assessments. Being able to have comfortable friendly chats and still learn with my peers and tutors is a great feeling so i recommend for everyone to try them out!
Dylan D'Costa

The communal environment has enhanced the way in which learning takes place and made it more enjoyable to learn from there. I highly recommend this place for everyone who’s not only looking to excel in their studies, but also be part of a community that makes learning a truly positive and fulfilling experience.
