English & Literature Extension is a Year 12 QCE subject for students ready to study literature and critical theory in depth. It develops advanced textual analysis, theory application, and scholarly writing, making it one of the most demanding English courses in senior school. Modedu offers focused 1:1 online support to help students build clear theoretical frameworks, manage dense readings, and refine extended analytical responses for internal and external assessment. For personalised guidance, you can work with a one-on-one English tutor who tailors feedback to your texts, goals, and timelines.
Expert guidance for complex concepts
Expert Guidance for Complex Concepts
This subject is ideal for students who:
Enjoy reading, interpreting, and critiquing complex literary and non-literary texts
Aspire to study English, humanities, law, or journalism at university
Want to engage with literary theory, academic writing, and original argument development
However, many students find the course demanding due to:
Heavy reading and research requirements
Abstract theoretical concepts (e.g., post-structuralism, feminism, Marxism)
High expectations for nuanced response structure and sophisticated expression
Our tutors help students unpack complex theory, improve clarity, and structure nuanced arguments that consistently meet QCAA marking standards. With specialist support, students turn abstract theoretical concepts into clear, defensible arguments and meet the subject’s high academic standards with confidence. Targeted, one-to-one guidance also builds sustainable study habits, so progress shows up in current assessments and provides a strong foundation for university study.
