Course Goals

Improve Academic Performance

In Year 10, students will further improve their English skills and learn to engage with deeper questions and texts. In this course, our tutors assess and fill in the gaps in students' knowledge and offer comprehensive, personalised feedback to excel in their school assessments and exams.

Build Confidence and Resilience

The Year 10 English course is designed to give students all the practice and support they need to prepare them for Year 11 and the HSC. We offer encouraging advice to inspire our students and work with them to improve their work as this empowers them with the confidence to overcome any challenge they face.

Appreciate the Applications of English

Since English is such an abstract subject, students are often unaware of its relevance to the real world and find it difficult to connect with their work. By engaging students with the ideas and logic behind English, we lead them to enjoy opening their minds to different perspectives and expressing themselves in new ways.

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.
