English teaching and exam practice
Delta's Year 12 classes are text-specific and exam-focused, with exam questions among its resources. An assigned Supervising Academic handles marking and individual lessons through feedback, coached rewrites and resubmissions. Ask Delta for its supervised exam schedule. Delta's programme
At Plume, the class tutor marks homework and practice responses, with unlimited submissions. We teach students to plan an argument, choose evidence and explain how it answers the question. Weekly timed quizzes and a supervised exam each term give them practice doing that within a time limit.
Our sample essay feedback shows the corrections. The discursive writing exercise includes an annotated response and practice adapting it to a new prompt.
