English 12

Course Content

Getting very good English 12 grades is a prerequisite of gaining university admission to many top universities in Canada and the US. However, especially for students with strong grades in sciences and math, it is common for them to have relatively lower grades in English, which severely handicaps their chances in university admissions. This is where CanStar’s tutoring service comes in as a vital tool in helping students improve and obtaining admission acceptance from their top-choice universities.

English 12 covers topics such as: 

  • Critical thinking: to enable students to organize facts and data to present logical arguments and statements in support of the topics they are writing about;
  • Comprehension: will teach students to differentiate between similar but subtly different words and phrases and, at the same time, ensure that they fully understand the topic at hand in terms of the literal and inferred meanings and underlying themes. 
  • Vocabulary: reinforcing existing vocabulary as well as introducing and teaching more varied vocabulary for the student to broaden their terms of expression; 
  • Grammar: ensuring that even in large paragraphs and more complex text that the correct grammar is identified and used;
  • Taking exams: coaching and tutoring to ensure students do well in an exam is a vital part of English 12. Part of this is knowing what to expect in an exam, but part is being able to perform under pressure and suitably manage the time available to ensure full answers are given to questions.
