hughes.terryp@gmail.com My specialty lies in adjusting teaching methods based on individual styles of learning. Higher grades and an accelerated learning pace are guaranteed - but secondary to my ability to actually broaden your intellectual scope. Beyond strengthening your knowledge in a given subject, each session is conducted with a core focus on making you a confident, efficient and applied learner. I am a year 12 graduate and currently completing at double-degree in English (literature) and creative writing at the University of Adelaide. If you a year 12 English studies/communications student, or a tertiary student trying to bump up your grade in the discipline, I am your best asset. I am most capable of teaching primary- and high- school students (as it's with this age range that I've previously worked), but could also assist those studying English as a second language, especially if you are seeking aid with grammar and/or conversational practice. I am approachable, friendly and, due to my age (twenty-one), younger students often develop a natural rapport with me. My hours are flexible and I'm prepared to work up to three-hour sessions, though usually find anything longer than two wipes students out mentally. We can meet for sessions at your house or a suitable public space, such as a library. UPDATE: As of semester 1, 2014, I am unable to take on any more students for face-to-face sessions (I am currently overloaded with pupils). HOWEVER, I may be available for proofreading, basic editing and general feedback via e-mail correspondence or even online instant messaging, depending the area of study and the degree of support you require. If you think this alternative sounds suitable, I encourage you to contact me to discuss this option. Please direct inquiries to: hughes.terryp@gmail.com

General rates information
$20 per hour. Hourly rate refers to face-to-face sessions. If you're seeking online tuition ONLY (via e-mail correspondence, etc.), cost is determined assignment by assignment, and takes into account factors such as length (number of words) and degree of assistance requested. For example, basic proofreading and general feedback would be substantially cheaper than editing with track-changes and detailed feedback. All of this is discussed/negotiated and agreed upon beforehand.
