“year 11 is highly significant as it’s essentially a mock run of the hsc, where students should develop a strong preliminary foundation of all hsc concepts and finetune their study routine prior to commencing their final year 12. i strongly believe that the secret to hsc success is to use year 11 as the blank slate to develop your exam technique and establish a rigour and discipline for studying english.
i would love to discuss your personal goals and create a tailored plan to tackle all of your uncertainties and frustrations when it comes to your academics."
