By studying the nuanced meaning of the prescribed text and uncovering the cultural context in which the text was composed, our students are provided with a unique analysis in their essays, something not often taught in schools.

How We Guide Our Students To HSC Success

Learn Ahead.

Rectangle

Learn First Principals.

Smart students learn ahead either over the School Holidays or during the term. They use school to revise. It's called the second time learning advantage. Students who use this approach perform better in exams and spend less time revising.

Submit.

Rectangle

Homework

The submission of Marquis exam-style homework allows Educators to intimately understand how each student is progressing, allowing comprehensive and specific feedback focusing on targetting areas of weakness before critical assessments and exams. 

Consolidate Feedback.

Rectangle

Work With Feedback

We believe in providing the most comprehensive, detailed and specific feedback based on our deep knowledge and experience of the most up to date new NSW NESA syllabus to support students in developing their classical literature and numeracy skills. 

Prepare For Assessments & Exams.

Be Exam Ready

Assessment, Trial and Exam Excellence preparation is a core part of Marquis Course Programs. Weekly practice and time allocation for students to focus on school-based assessments ensure students feel in control of their studies and are confident and exam ready. 

Comprehend.

Truly Understand

At Marquis, we teach first principals, allowing students to understand the 'why' behind their learning topics. We do not move on until we know your child has grasped the theoretical concepts and taught topics.

Retain.

Test Knowledge.

Retention is essential when building towards assessments and exams. At Marquis, we offer weekly homework structured with exam style questions to ensure students retain the theoretical content being taught and familiarise and prepare students with make exam-style questions.

Practice.

What makes Marquis Education so transformative?

Meet Our Exceptional Academic Team

Put simply, inspiring Educators inspire learning. Marquis is built with a team of distinguished Educators who have successfully walked the path our students are walking and topped the state in the subjects they teach. Each Educator is selected for their fervour, dedication, expertise and, most of all, their passion to pass the baton to the next generation of students. Together, they are focused on nurturing and shaping the minds of future leaders, game-changers, innovators, and thought-leaders.

What Differentiates Marquis?

360° Tutoring; Fluid, Flexible and Blended - Online & In-Centre

Marquis Other Tutoring Centres
Results Last year’s cohort has been our strongest yet, with our brightest students receiving All-round Achievers Award (the highest accolade given for achieving band 6 in at least 10 HSC units) as well as scoring a 99+ ATAR. It's difficult to know how accurate many of the results claimed on other tutoring sites are. Some tutoring centres offer scholarships to students who they know will already do well in the HSC to buy results for Marketing purposes. Other tutoring centres don't achieve stellar results year after year, and some refrain from posting their HSC results online. At Marquis we can back all of our claims with data.
Student Profiling Every student and family is met with, to understand each child’s learning needs. The profiling and discovery of learning needs upon enrolment combined with weekly assessments allow our Educators to create an individualised learning plan to maximise each student’s academic learning goals. We are not aware of any other tutoring centre in Sydney that takes the time to offer this level of personalisation.
Qualified Educators Our Educators and content creators are some of Sydney’s most talented and experienced PhD academics, HSC exam markers, qualified teachers and top ATAR scoring tutors at the top of their field. Limited or no formal teaching experience, unable to explain more complex concepts and ideas to students.
Rich Content All our materials are created by our very own qualified team of educators and academics. As such, our materials provide an exceptional exploration of the NESA syllabus that will help distinguish students from their cohort. We have also compiled a very comprehensive database of resources which assists students in forming a solid understanding of key concepts. Tutoring centres rarely have a qualified content creation team and instead rely on external resources such as textbooks and online materials.
Text Specific Classes We provide text specific classes for our senior grades. Hence students are given access to rich content on their schools’ prescribed texts, examination materials as well as weekly feedback on their school assessment drafts. Tutoring centres rarely provide text specific classes and instead combine materials of a range of texts within their course content. Thus, materials provided for texts are brief and lack detail.
School Specific Classes School specific classes are created for both our junior and senior grades. These classes allow students to collaborate with their peers and, thereby, form a sophisticated understanding of their school materials. The course content will specifically target school syllabus and assessments. Most tutoring centres don’t do school specific classes and those that do only provide it for their senior grades.
Learn Ahead or Revise Our Yearly Success Program is so good it's the gold standard! Our course programs have been designed and written to teach first principles with weekly exam-style homework and end-of-term topic tests by Sydney's most talented and experienced PhD academics, HSC exam markers, and qualified top atar scoring Educators and tutors at the top of their field. Our termly and holiday intensive tutoring programs are the reason why our students consistently top the state every year in the HSC. The majority of tutoring centres do not offer a structured program mapped to the new National Curriculum. Instead, they typically have an ad-hoc approach that doesn’t establish syllabus outcomes or understands the needs of students of a variety of proficiencies.
Small Class Sizes Our termly course programs have been designed and written to teach first principles with weekly exam-style homework and end of term topic tests by Sydney's most talented and experienced PhD academics, HSC exam markers and qualified educators who are at the top of their field. Our termly tutoring programs are the reason why our students consistently top the state every year in the HSC. Size of class has no limit, making it difficult for some students to voice their ideas or receive individualised feedback.
Flexibility - Learn Online or In Centre We strive to deliver accessible education by offering both online and in-centre classes. Both courses continue to deliver the same high-quality teaching, materials, and personal approach. Only offers online or face-to-face courses, rather than the flexibility to choose between both.
One-On-One Private Tutoring Our Individual lessons help support students by providing extra help and attention to their learning, complementary with our termly program. The weekly classes are conducted, with no additional support outside of the regular class times.
Weekly Exam Style Quizzes We give weekly quizzes to our students to ensure that they have a comprehensive understanding of the content covered in previous weeks. It also helps us to track their progress throughout the term. Lack of frequent examination and more focused on just covering theory.
Weekly Homework Help The second half of the lesson is dedicated to tutorial time, where we encourage students to bring in work from school that they need assistance with. Other courses only focus on the tutoring material, with less emphasis and attention for personal help.
Essay Marking & Feedback Students are required by their educators to submit parts of their essays on a weekly basis. These essay responses will be marked and returned with quality feedback, allowing students to consistently work on improving their essay writing skills. Other tutoring centres don’t give weekly feedback on essays, and this is especially lacking for junior grades.
Assessment Support We strongly encourage students to submit weekly drafts of their school assessments to our Marquis online portal. Educators will mark according to the HSC guidelines and will provide sufficient amount of feedback. Our aim is to have students walk into their exams with great confidence and advanced knowledge of exam content. More focused on giving feedback for tutoring homework rather than school assessments
Weekly Progress Reporting Results from homework submissions, quizzes, and topic tests are recorded in order to monitor students' progress and improvement. Lack of a tracking process so that improvements cannot be measured.
Realtime Student Feedback Students can contact their teachers via Marquis online portal throughout the week. They can submit their school homework, assessment drafts as well as any other materials that they need additional assistance with. Educators will provide quality feedback and direction for future steps to further strengthen the quality of their work. Other tutoring centres only limit student and educator interaction to 1-2 hours of class time. As such, students are not given sufficient time and feedback to make great progress.
Secure Online Student Portal The Marquis online portal provides access to extra resources, sample responses and past papers, as well as being a discussion forum and platform for 24/7 support in a blended learning environment. Limited or no access to extra support or resources outside of class.
Rich Resources & Past Papers Our Marquis database consists of rich prescribed text resources, scholarly articles, exemplar essays as well as multiple past papers with sample responses from Selective, Private and Independent schools. Limited materials that lack variety and quality.
Weekly HSC Exam Style Quizzes We provide weekly quizzes that involve a range of questions, closely following the HSC format. These quizzes will be conducted under strict time conditions and will be marked according to the HSC marking criteria. Sample responses will be provided with a structural breakdown. No HSC style weekly quizzes, hence, students are not given time to adequately prepare for future Y12 examinations.
Exam Excellence Preparation Our exam excellence prep course consists of 6 HSC module exams and 6 exam revisions. All exams will be conducted under strict HSC style exam conditions and will be marked by our experienced HSC educators. We are yet to see a tutoring centre that has an exam prep course where students are trained to confidently tackle HSC examinations.
School Holiday Workshops & Intensives We offer intensive or revision-based school holiday workshops throughout the year, providing students with the opportunity to extend knowledge in core subjects that will help you learn at your pace. The school holidays are the perfect time to help you get ahead of your peers, reduce stress for next term’s assessments and secure a huge boost in your marks and overall confidence. The school holiday bootcamps and intensive workshops are rarely provided at other tutoring centres and this stifles pupils with an opportunity to revise the subject matter they are struggling with, or cover key concepts you need to ace next term’s exams.
UCAT Theory & Exam Intensives Our UCAT course consists of techniques and skills needed for each subset, computerised mock exams and exam reviews providing personalised feedback. Failure to equip students with the necessary techniques to ace each subset and no personalised feedback and reviews for UCAT mock exams.
We Genuinely Care We are highly engaged in the students’ transformative journey while ensuring that they are both emotionally and mentally supported. The student services team and educators are always there to assist with any concerns and will tailor services to suit any educational needs. Less attentive to students and parents’ needs, thus, failing to monitor individual experience of each student.
