Sydney tutor in Creative Writing, English, English Literature, ESL, Essay Writing, History, Maths, Reading, Visual Arts

My name is Emily Halloran. I am a lawyer based in Sydney, having graduated from the University of Sydney with an Economics/Law degree in 2021.

I completed my HSC in 2016, achieving an ATAR of 99.6, and have six years experience tutoring in High School English and History - Modern and Ancient.

My classes are held on a 1-to-1 basis or in small groups.

I teach from a broad range of materials, including texts and exam papers, and utilise the student's own school texts and notes. I aim to first fill in the student's knowledge gaps and extend the student to their full potential. Tutoring sessions are individually tailored to the student's needs, ensuring engagement.

I provide assistance with:

- essay writing
- grammar
- creative writing
- topic sentences
- preparation and presentation of speeches

I focus on HSC techniques in deconstructing and understanding essay questions.
