I am a qualified English and History secondary school teacher with fifteen years of experience in teaching all ages at secondary level, from Years 7 and 8 to VCE. My preference is for an individual approach to each student with a thorough understanding of their needs. I am patient and calm, and able to work with all levels of ability. I can help with essay writing, grammar, proofreading and language analysis. In addition, my history knowledge can help to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the context of novels.
