I see your point.

No, seriously.
Unless you have really, really bad teachers...

When i started tutoring for english my rank improved 14 places in half a year!! Does that help you understand it?

Estel · 4 Apr 2005, 5:30 PM

I don't have a tutor for English (wouldn't be able to afford one) but I can see quite clearly the advantage of having someone to churn out a perfect essay for you to memorise.
And yes, my school happens to fit your criteria, as do many others.

tell me about it. Half my grade does that.

How to maximise your English marks in a nutshell.

You could always ask people you know who did well in previous years (eg Laurie) for advice in English if you need to.

Precisely!
That is the only way anyone can tutor you for English - moulding your essay again and again and again, until what is left is more their essay than your essay.

For the person who's rank improved 14 places, was it because of ^?

Cab31 · 5 Apr 2005, 1:47 PM

It was generally because i understood the course better, had greater access to materials which would explain it, was able to have someone to help go through each unit, and also had other people in my tutoring group who i could help break down the course with. There is not enough time to do this in class because it is such a packed course. Basically before i went i was getting about 11 out of 15 in my essays. After i started going i got full marks for the next assessment and 19 out of 20 for the one following it. It helped heaps!

I got to Northshore coaching college The Randwick Centre.

If it wasn't for the Physics Teacher or the English teacher and the centre manager giving me a discount for doing all three subjects at a bargain price.

The material they give is so CRAP. The physics teacher is the best he goes beyond the material and asks people to bring in questions to do. In English we never use Northshore material but do our own texts.

Maths course is probably the only decent one.

The only reason I guess someone would go there, is it is one of a few coaching colleges that use real teachers not uni students.

shafqat · 5 Apr 2005, 7:08 PM

North Shore may use teachers, but most of them are NOT GOOD, and the material is shithouse (maths is ok i suppose). good uni students who have experience of the hsc are in many cases better.

wind · 5 Apr 2005, 10:32 PM

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Pre-Uni New College

ishq · 6 Apr 2005, 9:15 AM

Or Prior

I've heard both are really good...
