VCE English Tutor (Units 1–4, English, Literature & Language) | Also Years 7–10 | 14+ Years Experience

Online tutoring for VCE English, English Literature and English Language, plus secondary and primary students building stronger foundations. Many students have lifted their SAC results into the 90%+ range and raised their ATAR within 4 to 6 months.

Specialising in all VCE English units

* VCE English (Units 1–4) — analytical text response, comparative analysis, oral presentations
* VCE English Literature (Units 1–4) — close reading, literary essays, thematic analysis of texts
* VCE English Language (Units 1–4) — metalanguage, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and detailed prep for Sections A, B and C

I'm a qualified English teacher with 15+ years' experience, a BA in Education, a Cert IV in TESOL, and postgraduate studies in Creative Writing and Literature at Swinburne. I've taught in top Melbourne schools and across Australia, Germany and the UK. I love the moment writing clicks for a student, when a thesis statement finally holds, or a novel stops being homework and starts being something they actually want to talk about.

* Proven results — consistent grade and ATAR improvement
* Five-star reviews from parents and students
* Fully personalised lessons built around your goals
* Real-time feedback via shared documents, all online, no commuting
* Free 20-minute meet-and-greet before your first lesson

Rates

As a VCE English specialist tutor with over 10 years of experience, my rates reflect the level of support required at each stage of schooling: $80/lesson for primary, $90/lesson for secondary (Years 7–10), and $100/lesson for VCE (Units 1–4).

Fees include more than lesson time. Students receive certified study guides (including Insight books for both VCE levels), practice exams, tailored support materials for all secondary grades, detailed marking and feedback, email follow-up, access to interactive planning documents, and ongoing academic guidance between sessions.
I put significant time and resources into planning highly focused, personalised lessons for every student. The rates reflect the depth of preparation, materials provided, and the consistent academic progress my students achieve.
