Are you looking to improve your essays, struggling with literary analysis, or simply want to know the best way to study for an English examination? My Better Essays program provides intensive one-on-one sessions for students of secondary school English or Literature. Since 2011, I have been helping students quantify a subject that can often feel slippery and imprecise. Unlike science-based subjects, it is sometimes difficult to know exactly how to study it effectively. The Better Essays program provides students with strategies for writing essays under exam conditions, and is designed to be a practical approach to understanding the expectations of the English and Literature courses. For adults, this program also provides the structure and strategies you will need to be prepared for the Written Communication component of the GAMSAT (entry to Medicine) or STAT (entry to university) tests.

Experience

The Better Essays program was developed by me, Dr Andrea Monteath, and has been working to help high school students and adults navigate the challenges of essay writing and English analysis since its launch in 2011. All students who participate in the Better Essays program receive personal, one-on-one tuition with me. For more information on my projects please visit www.thelifewritingproject.com.au

Qualifications

I have a PhD in Writing, and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with a major in Writing and a minor in Philosophy and Religion. I am an accredited specialist in all aspects of writing, and have re-developed and taught the third-year Literature unit 'The Literature of Adolescence' at Edith Cowan University. I am also the author of 'Something to Prove: philosophy, community of inquiry and creative thinking', and am the director of The Life Writing Project, a leisure course in autobiographical writing and book production.

Rates

Please note that the Better Essays program is available as a package of FOUR, one-hour sessions only. Ultimately, students must compose and deliver their essays without help. I believe that a few short, but personal, tuition sessions can build the confidence that students need to achieve independence in their essay-writing. Better Essays sessions can be conducted at my home office in Sorrento or, if you live within a fifteen-minute radius of me, I can travel to your home.
