Year 7–10 School English
English support for Years 7–10 (about ages 12–16). Teacher Changchang helps with essays, text analysis, speeches, and the weekly work that Australian high school English asks for. Lessons also suit Vietnamese students who need clearer writing and speaking for school. This is school English, not IELTS. If Year 10 work is already solid and the next step is an exam, look at the exam courses separately.
