4.8  (5 student reviews)

Hello everyone! ?
I'm Laiba, a recent graduate of Narrabundah College (Class of 2023), equipping me with a fresh mindset and providing me with a deep understanding of the Australian Curriculum & Syllabus. I specialise in helping high school students improve their English skills, assessment and exam performance.

? English Tutoring (Years 7–12):
• Essay writing & structure
• Text analysis (quotes, techniques, linking to prompts)
• Creative writing
• Assessment help (creative responses, essays, presentations, and more)
• Exam preparation & SAC support (ACT & VIC)

? Teaching Approach:
I work closely with students to strengthen their paragraph structure and develop clear, thoughtful analysis, helping them understand how to build ideas rather than memorise them. I have experience working with a wide range of texts; including novels, plays, films, and poetry and guide students in responding to each with clarity and depth. Through detailed, constructive feedback, I help refine their writing while building confidence so they feel more assured in their abilities.

?? Lesson Structure:
Lessons are personalised and centred around each student’s needs, whether that involves working through current school tasks, developing assessment pieces, practising writing, or refining responses over time, with a consistent focus on improving structure, clarity, and expression.

? Feel free to message me for any enquiries or to book a session!
