Connect Ed. is quite good, I've heard that Vincent or Josh (whoever is taking it this year) are both very entertaining and easy to listen to as well as knowledgeable.

Other than Connect, I would also suggest NEAP, who have quite a decent reputation for English.

I would suggest against TSFX and Access Education because I've heard that they aren't worth the money...etc.

I completely endorse VATE.

Am taking in students for CHEMISTRY and MATHS METHODS tuition for 2014 as well as first year chemistry. If interested, pm me. Flexible with location.

Depends on what kind of lectures you're after. If you want something that will teach you about the separate essay formats and how to write them, Connect seems like a very good option. If lectures catered to specific texts (and language analysis) are what you need, go with VATE. Ideally go to both, but that's not always reasonable.

Is that a question? Of course they are good.
I didn't go, but my school received the powerpoint slides that they go through. IT IS AMAZING.
I'm not a "hey lets sit down for a long time and analyse a book" type of person, because I prefer to study by myself. If your going to go for one, specifically targeted at the texts, go for VATE.

Nah, I do Twelve Angry Men.
It gives another interpretation of the text, supported by all types of evidence. And that is what you need, different perspectives of the one text.
