Hello! I’m Rebecca, an experienced English and academic writing tutor with over 10 years of international teaching experience.
I specialise in helping secondary school students strengthen their essay writing, analytical thinking, and academic communication skills, which are essential for success in HSC, VCE, IB, and IGCSE English.
Many students struggle not because they lack ideas, but because they are unsure how to structure their arguments clearly and express their thinking effectively in writing. My lessons focus on building these skills step by step, helping students approach essays, assessments, and exams with greater confidence.
I provide support with:
• Essay writing and structure
• Text analysis and literary interpretation
• Critical thinking and argument development
• Academic vocabulary and clarity in writing
• Presentation and public speaking skills
• Study strategies and exam preparation
I have worked with students from the US, UK, Middle East, and Asia, and I design structured, personalised lessons that adapt to each student’s learning style and academic goals.
My background includes TESOL and TEFL certifications, as well as experience as a Learning Design Strategist, where I develop curriculum and learning materials for K–12 and professional education programs. This experience helps me create lessons that are clear, engaging, and academically focused.
Lessons are conducted online in a supportive and structured environment, with an emphasis on helping students develop independent thinking, strong writing skills, and academic confidence.
If you’re looking for a tutor who can help your child write stronger essays, think critically, and perform confidently in English, I would be happy to help.
Limited weekly tutoring slots available.
