Sydney tutor in Creative Writing, English, Society and Culture

Hi, my name is Ruby, I am currently studying B Laws/ B Medical Science at Macquarie University. I specialise in teaching essay and creative writing skills for preliminary and HSC English, and Essay writing + exam technique for HSC Society and culture, along with Personal Interest Project (PIP) help.

HSC Society and Culture tutoring

Exam Technique
The HSC Society and Culture exam is unique, as it is only 2 hours long. Society and Culture writing style is difficult to master due to the subject's nature as a social science, meaning it mimics writing styles from both the sciences and humanities. Moreover, it is not a subject where students can memorise essays to regurgitate them in the exam, due to exam questions being highly specific. I am here to help students master exam technique and feel confident constructing strong and cohesive responses in the exam.

PIP Help
Additionally, I have experience in assisting Society and Culture students with their Personal Interest Projects. I am here to help students struggling with starting their PIP's, those who want a second pair of eyes to proofread and edit, or those who feel a bit lost on how to go about a certain section.
