Hear from some of our past students

Before joining Active Learn, I struggled to study for English. Weekly lessons expanded my vocabulary and taught me skills that made my writing sound more sophisticated and the process was enjoyable. With abundant resources and expert advice, my results improved dramatically. Active Learn helped me see the value in my ideas, and with consistent practice, I reached my goals. (Year 12 student, 2024)

Active Learn was an absolute godsend for me. When I first joined the program I strongly disliked English, had very little confidence in myself, and I knew that my grades were well below what I could achieve. The resources and instruction provided allowed me to finally begin enjoying the subject, and to in turn reach my academic goals. From Active Learn, I learned that if you put in the work, and have a little more self-assurance, you’ll be able to achieve your own potential - whatever that may be. (Year 12 student, 2023)
