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 Preliminary 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

Our Year 11 Standard English course is designed to prepare students for Year 12 by giving them the confidence and practice they need to perform under pressure. We provide quality feedback and encouraging advice to hone students' strengths and help them address their weaknesses.

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 nurture their communication and critical thinking skills, as well as their love for learning.

Reviews

Not only did they equip me with skills to use in my exams but also provided me the tools to build my confidence in understanding and knowing my capabilities as a student and a person. I would not hesitate to recommend YGA to any student who is not only looking to excel in their school studies but also wishing to be a part of a community which encourages success and confidence.

I struggled a lot with maths extension 1 but the tutors in YGA went above and beyond to personally go through each problem and showed how what I was learning could impact my life after high school. All the tutors had great interpersonal skills and the fact they are all previously high achieving HSC students made it very motivating for me to work harder.
Jared Lim
Wiliam Clark College
My maths extension 1 class in school covers things very quickly and I miss out on a lot of foundational understandings which meant I struggled further down the line. But the tutors at YGA quickly saw this and personally created the learning experience to suit my study style which really helped with improving my marks.
