How can an English Tutor from ATC help you ace your HSC?
Some people say that tutors can help students improve their results. Others claim that tutoring just makes pupils lazy and prevents them from learning how to think for themselves.
The reality, however, is somewhere in the middle.
Look, we’re not going to say that an English tutor is going to do magic. You’re not going to be able to analyse texts with ease overnight and get a perfect score after the first session. You will have to pull your weight too if you want to benefit from the tutor’s knowledge and advice.
But, if you are determined and focused, then an English tutor may just be your best chance for a Band 6. Here’s how it can help you.
1. A Tutor Can Identify Your Strengths and Weaknesses
The Higher School Certificate (HSC) may be standardised, but that doesn’t mean that every test-taker is the same. Even when it comes to the same topic, such as English, students may perform better in some areas than in others. For example, you may excel in essay writing but struggle with text analysis. A good tutor can identify your weaknesses and help you overcome your limitations.
2. He or She Can Teach You Test-Taking Strategies
No matter how prepared you are, the HSC can be extremely stressful. A good tutor can help you learn how to control your emotions and approach difficult problems even in the most extreme situations. He or she can also help you develop your time management skills by simulating the English test and the stressful environment.
A good tutor can also teach you how to analyse the problem at hand and use your deductive abilities to identify the most logical answer to a difficult question.
3. A Tutor Can Provide an Academic Challenge
Let’s be honest: English lessons can sometimes be boring. Everybody must read the same texts, do the same exercises, and think in the almost the same way unless the unique idea is backed up by perfect analysis. A good tutor can challenge all that and motivate you to want to expand your horizons. Sure, your primary purpose will still be to ace your HSC, but it’s going to extend beyond that. With the help of a good tutor, acquiring knowledge will become a goal in itself. When you’re motivated to constantly challenge yourself to do better, learn more, and perform better than your colleagues, then the results of the HSC will reflect your efforts.
