*HSC ENGLISH MARK 95/100* EXT 1: 94/100 EXT 2: 90/100 Hi! I’m Nicky and I am a 4th year Commerce and Advanced studies student at the University of Sydney with 8 years of private tutoring experience. I graduated in 2019 as an all-rounder, with an atar of 97.2. It is my goal to provide quality tuition to high school students of all capacities. It is in my best interests to create a comfortable learning environment for my students and to adequately equip them with the skills necessary to succeed. Throughout high school I have learnt that success has very little to do with innate ability, but rather passion, dedication, determination and a regimented study routine - all of which i aim to instil. I make sure to push my students to ensure that they can reach their full potential and achieve maximum marks in their HSC. I specialise in English, achieving the highest band in English Advanced, Extension 1 and Extension 2. As a 2019 graduate I underwent the new syllabus, whereby some profound changes were made. The new syllabus has increased in difficulty wherein students are no longer able to rely on rote learning and memorisation, but rather developing a comprehensive and holistic understanding of texts and concepts. This can seem daunting to new students, as it did to me, however with the right methodology and resources, students will undoubtedly develop a sense of confidence. In my lessons I will target specific needs by: - Guiding students with assessment tasks - Focusing on exam preparation and study skills - Strengthening analytical and creative writing - Consolidating knowledge on literary devices - Encouraging conceptual thinking and analysis - Providing valuable and relevant resources of my own I have an extensive collection of resources including exemplar essays, creative responses, academic articles and HSC style questions which I am more than happy to distribute amongst my students. English Advanced (95/100), Rank: (2/100) English Extension 1 (47/50) English Extension 2 (45/50) Despite my passion for English, as an all-rounder, I have excelled in all my subjects including Modern History, Legal Studies, Visual Arts and Advanced Mathematics. So please do not hesitate to contact me regarding these subjects. Also feel free to contact me for verification regarding my qualifications.
