Modedu’s Advanced English tutoring program supports Year 11 and 12 students in NSW through structured, personalised 1:1 support — helping them master essay writing, textual analysis, and rubric alignment. Whether students are aiming for a Band 6 or simply want to improve clarity and confidence, our tutors provide the guidance needed to succeed in one of the HSC’s most important subjects.
Expert guidance for complex concepts
Advanced English is a compulsory 2-unit course for university-bound students in NSW and is often included in a student’s top 10 ATAR units.
Students are assessed on:
Critical and imaginative responses
Comparative analysis and synthesis
Understanding of context, textual integrity, and authorial intent
Many students find it difficult to meet the high expectations around structure, language, and textual interpretation. We simplify complex tasks, develop strong arguments, and teach students to write with purpose.
