What our students and parents say

Working with Aden enhanced my english grades at school significantly. In class Aden is well approached towards making me fully understand something I don't know, he also works very hard out of class while editing my work and giving me feedback over text. I think that Aden is a suitable tutor for everyone that needs to further improve their studies towards english. My english grades at school improved dramatically after taking his lessons as he helps me with my preparations for my assessment tasks during well scheduled lessons.
Max W. (Year 9 student)
When I initially started, my marks were around the C–D range. However, after a few years with Fiona, I am now consistently in the B–A range. Not only have I noticed an improvement in my English, but my writing in other subjects has also significantly improved, allowing me to construct more cohesive and understandable sentences.
Toby W. (Year 12 Standard student)
Fiona has guided me with expert knowledge of the overall skills of writing which helped me improve my overall marks in the subject. I would definitely recommend taking this tutoring service as it provides detailed information for what you may be learning.

Gabriella S. (Year 12 Advanced student)
Gold Standard Academy has been extremely beneficial for my skills in English. Starting year 12, my English grades had started to drop and I was feeling as if I was falling behind, and so I decided to join the Academy in term 2. Upon joining, I quickly started to become more confident in my writing, and had begun to see an improvement in my grades. Fiona has been instrumental in my progress, and she is an amazing tutor who is sincere in her work. Gold Standard Academy has definitely helped me enjoy English more and I highly recommend it if you are considering tutoring for English.
