Hi there, my name is Tim and I have been a Secondary School Teacher & Tutor for the last 8 years since graduating from Sydney University.
I am passionate about education, learning and preparing my students for all levels of schooling. Beyond that, I also hope to pass on my enthusiasm for English as the study of English as a subject can help you achieve great things at school, and it will also teach you a vital life skill, critical thinking.
I provide English tuition for secondary students or primary students preparing to enter high school.
My English Programs are structured to develop your child's knowledge of key ideas, themes and concepts covered by the syllabus and curriculum which will build confidence and keep them ahead at school. We will focus on:
- Textual analysis & comprehension - How to write sophisticated, well structured and integrated essays - Critical thinking skills - Exam techniques
ALL lessons are currently being run ONLINE and are highly interactive and structured.
The online lessons are designed assist with the continuity of learning in a safe environment. These are conducted in a manner that is just as engaging as face-to-face. This is achieved through: - Clear Audio & Visuals using Zoom - Sharing live documents via Google Docs - Ongoing support via phone and email between scheduled lessons
In addition, you will have access to: - Structured lesson sequences designed to keep you ahead at school - Regular feedback - Additional support outside of class hours - Exam preparation

Having worked as a Secondary School teacher for the last 8 years has given me the capacity to communicate complex concepts with clarity resulting in better student understanding and development of their passion for English as a subject.
During this time I have worked with students to build their confidence and ultimately achieve results they didn't think possible. To achieve this I approach the syllabus systematically, carefully explaining each concept and checking for understanding through practice and repetition.

"Tim has been an excellent tutor for my HSC English! He has enthusiastically dedicated a lot of his time to developing all areas of my English skills and my exam results have notably improved since our first tutoring session. As a student who didn't particularly enjoy English in previous years, it has been worthwhile to have a passionate tutor like Tim who has made me more interested in the subject. I am very grateful for all the help Tim has provided me with!"
