As any high school student knows, English is one of the most important, if not the most central, subjects to master. Whether you pursue a career in the arts or sciences, English provides critical thinking and communication skills. Although there may be days it feels like a struggle to get through that essay or finish up your homework assignment, basic English knowledge will come in handy far beyond the high school level in college and life after graduation.
English can be confusing to study for since the exam isn’t as “straightforward” as subjects like maths or science. Here’s my advice on how to make it all a little bit easier!

Students are often daunted by the prospect of essay writing, and we understand why. However, with the right guidance and techniques, you will find out that it really isn't that difficult.
