Time to get year 12 ready

Year 11 Preliminary

Year 11 is often seen as a “trial run,” but in reality, it plays a critical role in shaping HSC subject choices, early university entry opportunities, and a student’s overall exam readiness.

At Knoji Tuition, our tutors place a strong focus on exam strategies and test-taking skills in year 11. We draw on our own HSC experiences to help students avoid common pitfalls and stay on the right track.

Year 11
"Before Priya my son was here…for year 11 and 12… Anqi and Sabrina both were really really really helpful like my son was not at all interested in English and he was not good at all and I told Sabrina and Anqi both that it is hard to create interest in him and I need marks obviously… Basically he got 99.9 and I was really happy."

Year 12
"My friend told me to join Knoji for math classes because he saw me struggling during lessons. My tutor is very interactive in and out of class which becomes very helpful when I’m stuck on homework or even a school question. He really cares about his students and that motivates me to participate and be engaged in the content."

— Harish Vakeesan

Year 11
"My favourite part about Knoji is the small classes. I feel like I can learn more during my lessons because my tutor is attentive and notices when I look confused, before I even ask a question. This helps further my understanding on harder topics because I can ask all the questions I have comfortably. "

— Anvi Kharche

Year 7
"I’ve been coming to Knoji since year 8 to improve my early learning. Knoji has offered me personalised support, help on my study strategies as well as friendly and engaging lessons, which makes learning more digestible."

— Brithesh Senthuran

Year 11
"The reason I chose Knoji is because my tutor creates a comfortable environment where you don’t have to be afraid to ask questions or feel judged when you don’t understand the concept initially... My tutor is able to be really attentive to everyone in the classroom. Because of this, I walk out of every lesson, knowing my time was well spent, productive and full of learning. "

— Liz Zhi

Year 11
"I joined Knoji which has been a great decision. Knoji teaches ahead of the curriculum which makes math and english in school feel like revision. The teachers are friendly and help a lot when you have questions. They help me grow and learn which really helps with my grades at school."

— Edward Lau
