We believe in you!

MGS is founded by Maryann Gou. She is a lawyer and solicitor, an accomplished educator, and classical pianist located on the Upper North Shore, Sydney, specialising in both English literature and piano. She has been teaching privately and at institutions in Australia, the United States, and China since 2018. As a recipient of the 2025 SFCM Pedagogy Award, she is an expert in understanding and working with keen minds.

Maryann’s students achieve Band 6, full marks, state ranks, and top rankings in both selective and independent private schools, and her piano students achieve top prizes in Eisteddfods, scholarships, international prizes, AMEB success, and more.

MGS works alongside HSC markers to deliver reliable exam technique and advice. We believe in motivating students and inspiring them to actively participate in their own learning. All results represent their hard work and persistence. We instill confidence in our students and are proud of their growth and success.

“MGS cares about and believes in our students,

We believe in resilience, kindness, and independent thinking,

We care about your success and wellbeing just as much as you do.”
