I am a lawyer who has previously tutored legal studies and English. A student failed the trials but with some rigorous short term tutoring by me ended up achieving an overall HSC mark of 84. If this student had been tutored by me for a longer period I am certain she would have achieved a much higher overall mark. I also have a passion for English and have successfully provided guidance in essay writing, grammar and text interpretation. I have experience training law students and I am young and easy going. If you are struggling and need a hand you can ask me the simplest questions and I will try to work out the best way of helping you understand your curriculum, whether it be legal studies, English or essay writing. I want you to achieve the best mark you possibly can in your HSC, without too much stress. I find that the most successful way of teaching is for me to determine how you learn and then tailor my classes to suit you, as there is no point teaching in a way that will not allow you to grasp the subject matter. In cases where you don’t know the best way that you learn then I will use some of my tried and tested methods to see whether they suit you. I really enjoy teaching and am available most afternoons. I am happy to have you come to my home in Northbridge or I can come to you. Please contact me if you have any questions.
