Melbourne tutor in English, English Literature, ESL, Essay Writing, Reading

My students usually achieve 40+ study scores in English after one year with me, and this is my eighth year of tutoring VCE English and VCE English Literature.

I have a wealth of experience, having taught 60+ students across metropolitan Melbourne. The majority of my pupils have attended leading private schools and I have become very familiar with the course and SAC structures over the years.

My raw VCE results are 50 in English and 49 in English Literature. I graduated from The University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in English & Theatre Studies, followed by an Honours year where I specialised in Classical literature.

I am experienced in teaching all of the texts in the current VCAA English study design. My overall approach is to complement and enhance the theoretical knowledge that students are studying for their SACs, and ultimately, the exam. I mix my own expertise with the text list in a manner that works to rapidly improve students' abilities, whether they are struggling in their writing composition, or otherwise striving to make an A and A+. I focus upon strengthening their hold over written expression, building a lengthy application of sophisticated yet appropriate vocabulary, and of course essay structure.

The style I use and correct with has been met with success. Much of the updated English syllabus contains texts I have studied at a tertiary level. Students may rest assured that in my lessons, each week focuses purely on the upcoming SAC, and how knowledge will then be consolidated into the end of year exam.
