Doctor Anna Brunken.
**High Quality, Specialist Tutor with over 35 years of experience, and proven results in teaching VCE, Undergraduate, and Post Graduate**

Are you doing VCE, TCE, Undergraduate, or Postgraduate Study? Do you need help understanding and completing your work requirements and thesis? Well, I can help. With over 35 years of teaching, tutoring, and lecturing experience, and proven high-quality results, I have helped many students achieve their potential in English, Social Science, Business, Management, and graduate/Post Graduate studies.

Undergraduate and Post-Graduate students can now seek the services of a fully qualified university tutor and lecturer with high-level teaching and learning qualifications. All students who have accessed this service have completed their coursework and or thesis. I can help with essay and thesis planning, writing, and editing. I have worked at the highest levels of university and have a proven record of success.


Together we can achieve great things.

I have a proven record of excellent performance. From 2012 to 2024 all the students I worked with dramatically improved their scores, with many achieving close to full marks. All university students successfully completed their course requirements and theses. More importantly, they all said they enjoyed tutoring and that their tutorial sessions helped them take control of their studies and feel more confident (read reviews). They all coped well with the demands of their subjects, and all gained entry into their chosen courses.

The undergraduate and post-graduate students I worked with also improved their marks, and some actually received awards. The wide range of PhD students in Nursing, Accounting, Management, Education, and Arts all completed their theses in the required time.
Lisa (2012) writes: "As an English tutor, Anna was just AMAZING. Anna was also a wonderful woman who offered me moral support several times. To go through VCE is one of the most stressful times of your life, and Anna was one of the people who calmed me down. I was a student who was graded at a C level, and from having Anna as a tutor, my grades rose immediately to A and A+. You will be lucky to have Anna as a tutor. She is worth every dollar and more!"


**My Tutoring Services**

I have been in education for almost 40 years. My extensive experience includes:
* teaching in secondary schools
* working as a study skills adviser/sub-contractor at La Trobe University and Monash University, NMIT (now Melbourne Polytechnic). *Lecturing and tutoring in Business Management plus English and Academic writing support at La Trobe, Central Queensland and RMIT universities.

I also have extensive postgraduate qualifications, including a PhD in Education. All this enables me to successfully assist students at all academic levels. Most importantly, I am committed to empowering students so they can get the most out of themselves and their academic endeavors, and will do so with compassion and care.

While teachers can highlight your stuck points, I am here to show you how to move beyond them. I can show you how to write essays, reports, case studies, and your thesis without the usual stress many students experience. I can help you understand the content you are given and show you how to create detailed, high quality responses. In addition, I can help you with time management and exam preparation. With a proven record of success, I can help you complete your work calmly and to a high standard.
Antony (2012, VCE Units 3-4 English) writes: "Anna's method of teaching is easily absorbed and it has improved my confidence for essay writing as well as other daily activities. Her comprehensive way of teaching is absolutely recommended for those who want help in VCE English"


ESL STUDENTS:

I also have extensive experience working with international students studying in Australia. I can help with preparation for University, and completing work requirements and theses in the way that is expected in Australian universities. I can be what one student called their "rock" in a foreign land.



**Tutoring Locations**

Tutoring sessions now take place online, mostly via Teams, WhatsApp, or Zoom. Given how busy many people are, and because online learning and teaching have proved to be extremely effective it is a natural choice. It means parents can save time driving children to appointments, etc. Adult students can save precious time and get immediate contact in times of high stress when completing postgraduate work. The online sessions allow you to learn in relaxed environments, and research shows that this is an important factor in successful learning. Reviews will verify just how effective online sessions can be.
