“Using the English Works language analysis workbook in Year 11 at school really helped me turn the corner. Building on these skills I went from averaging C’s and D’s in my essay-writing during Year 11, to an A+ student in Year 12. I even topped English at Blackburn High School.” (Nathan, 2014, (42) Blackburn High School)
“I started using Jenny’s (English Works) workbooks around Year 9 and they helped me build my English skills and give me a good grounding, especially my reasoning and persuasive skills. In year 12, it was more a matter of focussing on essay writing and the big picture strategies. For those who are aiming for A+ essays, there’s a lot of useful tips in the latest essay writing workbook.” Brendan (44) (John Monash Award for Excellence in English)
“Jenny’s sessions made all the difference to my study in VCE English. Following her essay plans in the (language analysis) workbooks, changed the way I approach and fine tune my essays to reach a high standard. Focussing on key strategies and word implications helped me write impressive essays, contributing to my perfect score.” (Catherine Dinh, (50), 2013, Sacred Heart Girls College)
