Our Success Stories

Oliver, St Mary’s Cathedral student, Band 6 HSC English tutoring success with Pinnacle Learners

Oliver

St Mary’s Cathedral

Oliver's marks sat in the 50s and 60s in Year 10. He understood the content well but didn't know how to translate it into writing. Once our tutors taught him how to plan and structure a good essay and connect the analysis back to the question, his marks improved significantly. By the end of Year 12, Oliver achieved a Band 6 in English and a 97 ATAR, and is now studying Law at UTS.

“He will now start his HSC with a confidence and ease that he would not have possessed otherwise. I cannot recommend Pinnacle highly enough.”

Lucinda, Loreto Kirribilli student, HSC English tutoring success story with Pinnacle Learners

Lucinda

Loreto Kirribilli

Lucinda came to us after Year 12 trials sitting on a 70 in English Advanced, not close enough for her dream of Law at UNSW. Over three months, we focused on essay structure, crafting a sophisticated writing voice, and completing practice under exam conditions. By the HSC, she scored over 90 in English Advanced and a 98 ATAR, securing her spot at UNSW Law.

“I'm so happy with my results. I scored 90 in English! The tutoring really helped me improve my writing and exam technique... I couldn't have done it without the guidance I got at Pinnacle.”

Lachlan

The King’s School

Lachlan joined us when he was in Year 10 averaging in the 60s for English. We built his analytical skills and exam time management and within a term he was scoring in the 80s and was able to be placed in English Advanced for Year 11. By Year 12, he was consistently scoring in the 90s and is now studying Biology at UTS.

“I love tutoring so much, it's my favourite thing ever... I would be really failing if it wasn't for this place.”

Lochie, Year 12

Confidence Has Grown
Harry has been an amazing tutor. My son had a rapport with him on the very first lesson.  His understanding and confidence in maths has grown. The only regret I have is that we didn't engage Pinnacle earlier.

The Absolute Best Tutor
Alessia tutored me for HSC legal studies and was the absolute best tutor I had ever had.  At the beginning of year 11 I was achieving 60-65% in legal studies and after Alessias help I was able to achieve an 85 in my HSC.

My son started tutoring with Pinnacle when he was averaging 50's. By Year 12, he was achieving results in the 80s & 90s. The improvement has not been isolated to English, but resulted in positive results in every subject.

Less Overwhelming
Alessia helped me so much, allowing me to get a band 5 (I thought wasn't possible for me). Alessia helped me understand how a good essay is structured which made everything much easier and less overwhelming.
