Hi, my name is Will Taylor. I am an alumnus of UNSW and I am offering tutoring services in high school English and History (of all levels), as well as most other essay-based subjects. I have a great passion for these particular subjects, have received University-level awards and qualifications for each, and would love to share my know-how with you.

My main tutoring qualifications lie in my academic achievements at University: I graduated from UNSW with First-Class Honours and the University Medal in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy/German Studies) and a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 91.5. I was also the recipient of both the Douglas McCallum award for Best Performance in Philosophy (2015) and the Australian-German Chamber's Goethe Prize for Best Performance in German Studies (2016). Following my undergraduate, I was granted the Fred Katz scholarship to complete my Honours thesis in philosophy, and I have just completed my Masters by Research (2022) with a focus on the ancient Stoic understanding of reason's perfection.

So, if you want a tutor for high school English and History who's well versed in academic research and writing skills, please do inquire, and we'll see if we can make our schedules harmonise!
