This is how I topped the state in English Advanced

I’m acutely aware that English Advanced is an immensely challenging subject.

There’s no textbook or formulas to follow, and at times it feels like there is an endless amount of reading like a bottomless pit swallowing you whole, but do not fret… this course is designed to help you excel and veritably achieve your potential. Within this high performance program, I precisely break down the HSC performance standards, elucidating what exactly is expected of you in English Advanced. Once you have internalised the framework of all the touchstones and paradigms on which you are assessed, I have absolutely no doubts you will crush your assessments.

Languages shape the way we think, and dictate what we can think about. I truly believe developing the ability to read critically, think deeply, and articulate your arguments cogently is the most important thing one can strive to achieve in high school, as it is a skill you will carry with you for the rest of your life. If you want to learn how to think, you should learn how to write. Having a well-ordered thought process translates into efficiently communicating your messages or ideas to other people. That is a skill that 90% of the population don’t possess, since most of the problems of the world lie in communication, both from writing and speaking. Writing makes you a better critical-thinker, clearer communicator, and decision-maker, and a person who can formulate and communicate the best arguments almost always wins the case. And that's exactly what this course sets out to do - to equip you to succeed both within HSC and far, far beyond.

The subject itself may seem wearisome and unnecessarily recondite. But you just need the correct strategies, resources and mentorship to guide you to the finish line. I can give you all of this.

Hey! My name is Emma, and I am studying a double degree in Law (Honours) and PPE (politics, philosophy and economics) at the Australian National University. I graduated from Pymble Ladies College in 2020 after a long year of covid and was honestly so excited to be finished with high school. But here I am two years later still dealing with the NESA syllabus because I realised that I want to share all my hard work with other students so that they don’t have to work out all the secrets I already know for themselves.

I’m going to be honest with you though, I know most of you are just doing English because itis compulsory, and so was I. All I wanted was to get my band 6 and get out of there. You would think that having done well was a result of passion but really it was because I worked out what markers wanted, turned it into a ‘formula’ and used that formula over and over again. So, in this online course I am going to give you my secret formula for success in each module and hopefully that will make what’s going on in the markers head less mysterious. Trust me, English is easier than you think. Enjoy!
