Melbourne tutor in English

Parent testimonial: "We cannot thank Julie enough. In previous years my daughter excelled in English, but last year her confidence fell and her grades dropped considerably. Julie came to our aid and with her extensive knowledge of English language, literature and grammar, my daughter's confidence was restored and her grades are back up to 'A'! Julie's commitment, encouragement and enthusiasm in helping my daughter were more than we could have hoped for. Having had other tutors in the past, I can highly recommend Julie and I can honestly say she is the most dedicated and knowledgeable tutor we have employed."

I am passionately committed to assisting students to achieve their very best for their English studies. I grew up and was educated in England, before emigrating to Australia. I am a friendly, patient tutor, but very thorough. My carefully structured one-on-one tutorials (no groups) are individually tailored to assist you to keep calm and focused, with emphasis on text comprehension, essay planning/construction, analytical skills, language analysis, creative writing, expression, vocabulary extension and grammar correction. We focus strongly on your SACs, as well as on your class tasks and essays. We revise thoroughly before your SACs and your final exam. Above all, I encourage students' CONFIDENCE, because that's half the battle, isn't it?

$80 Fee includes: Tutorial preparation and delivery - 60 minute tutorials (no charge if we go overtime); extensive text resources; all telephone and email communications; homework set and marked each week; intensive structured revision program for all SACs and exams. Tutorial meetings are provided through ZOOM.

Students with diagnosed special needs are especially welcome.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT PROVIDE TUTORIALS FOR ADMISSION TO SELECT ENTRY SCHOOLS OR GAMSAT
