Availability: I am available for tutoring during weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate students’ school and extracurricular commitments. Online sessions are available, and limited in-person sessions can be arranged depending on location and availability.
Best Way to Contact Me: The best way for students and parents to contact me is via email or platform messaging for quick and clear communication regarding availability, lesson planning, and progress updates.
Preferred Meeting Place: I primarily offer online tutoring sessions using video conferencing, which allows for flexible scheduling and access to shared documents and resources. In-person sessions may be discussed depending on location and circumstances.
Achievements & Experience: I am a uni student currently enrolled in an advanced, tertiary-level accredited English program. I have experience completing high-level analytical, creative, and investigative writing tasks, including comparative and critical text studies. I also have peer tutoring experience, supporting classmates with essay structure, text analysis, editing, and oral presentation preparation. This has helped me develop a clear, patient, and supportive teaching style.
Why I Enjoy Tutoring: I enjoy tutoring because I like helping students build confidence in their own abilities. English can feel overwhelming for many students, and I find it rewarding to break down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps so students feel proud of their progress and more independent in their learning.
Main Areas of Expertise: - English (Years 7–11)
- Essay writing and structure
- Text analysis and interpretation
- Creative writing
- Oral presentations
- Study skills and exam preparation
My Approach to Tutoring: My approach is supportive, structured, and student-focused. I aim to understand each student’s strengths, challenges, and learning style before tailoring lessons to suit their needs. I focus on building both skills and confidence, rather than just completing assignments.
Lesson Structure: Lessons are typically structured as follows
1. Quick check-in and review of previous work or feedback
2. Focused teaching on a specific skill (e.g. paragraph structure, thesis statements, or analysis techniques)
3. Guided practice with examples or current school tasks
4. Summary of key points and clear goals for the next session
Resources & Materials: I provide worksheets, writing templates, and guided notes to support learning, which are customised to each student. I also recommend relevant school textbooks and practice questions where appropriate. Shared online documents are used for collaborative editing and feedback.
Levels of Tutoring Offered: Upper Primary, Lower and Middle High School (Years 7–10), Senior High School (Year 11)
Additional Information: I offer a supportive and encouraging learning environment and am happy to provide progress updates to parents. Trial sessions are available for new students to ensure a good fit and to set clear learning goals from the start.
