Year 11 English Advanced Tutoring Course Details
English success is not simply about knowing the “right answer.” Rather it involves the ability to translate what you have learned in class and make meaningful connections to answer questions successfully.
This course will give students the ability to deepen their understanding of key ideas such as:
- Context
- Audience
- Purpose
Students will engage in modelled exercises designed to develop their reading and analysing skills which will transfer to assessments. Once students can analyse texts, they will apply their new knowledge to communicate their ideas creatively and critically.
The skills of reading, understanding and responding form the foundation for long-term success in English.
See how our flexible learning methods can cater for your learning needs.

Year 11 English students sayThe Year 11 English course was highly effective in preparing me for the rigours of Year 12 English. It allowed me to further develop writing skills and work to develop a well-thought-out essay under time constraints.

English has always been one of my favourite subjects and I truly believe that the energy from my Matrix Year 11 English Advanced teachers have made an engaging and enlightening experience. The abundance of both literacy knowledge and additional contextual appreciation have really boosted my school marks and my personal appreciation for English.

The Matrix English course has greatly improved my English abilities by giving me more opportunities to practise my writing as well as providing feedback as to how I can improve. The lesson content is also presented in an easily understood way to deepen my understanding of literacy concepts.

The Matrix English courses have helped me better under the more abstract concepts within texts that we study at school, and have helped me understand different styles of writing, such as discursive, much better.
