I completed the HSC in 2010, graduating Dux with an ATAR of 97.65. In 2011, I studied a year of LLB (Law) before moving into my real areas of interest, English Literature and Creative Writing. I maintain a High Distinction average, a double degree scholarship, and listings on the BA and BCA Dean's Merits Lists. In 2013, I won the Nicholas Pounder Prize for my marks Creative Writing and in 2014, I won the Dorothy Jones Prize for my marks in English Literature. This is my fourth year of tutoring Advanced & Standard English, Legal Studies, Society & Culture, Ancient History and Modern History. I currently have 7 students and have never had fewer than 4 students at one time, so my understanding of the syllabus remains up to date! I tutor from the Wollongong City Library or the UOW library. I keep a few slots open for lessons at your home if you live in or near the Wollongong CBD, near the university, etc. I aim to tailor to your needs, to identify and work with your individual problem areas, helping you to develop confidence, dedication and drive in your studies in a safe and supportive environment. By working closely with the Board of Studies syllabus, some of the areas I frequently help students with include: *Essay-writing structure *Learning how to understand and interpret exam questions *Learning how to paraphrase and quote other sources with acknowledgement *English creative writing workshopping *Marking past papers *Helping to suggest and analyse related texts *Assessment and exam preparation for the HSC or NAPLAN *Researching, planning and writing the Personal Interest Project * * * * * * * * * Note: At the moment I am unable to take on new students as all my time-slots are full. I'm sorry for any inconvenience and sincerely thank you for your interest! I WILL BE TAKING NEW YEAR 11 & 12 STUDENTS FROM 6 OCTOBER, for the new HSC year and the start of Term 4. Feel free to call/email to express interest in advance as I tend to fill up pretty quickly.
