Tutoring near Williamstown, Melbourne, VIC & Caulfield East, Melbourne, VIC


About

Hi! I am a current English Language (VCE) high school teacher, and experienced tutor of over 9 years. **Please note- I only teach English Language, NOT Mainstream English or EAL.** In 2024, I plan to take on only 2 students for private tutoring in English Language. I have a Bachelors from Melbourne Uni in linguistics, history and French, Masters of Arts and Masters of Teaching. I hold current VTA registration, entailing police checks. I have tutored and taught a wide range of students, from those who feel behind and unconfident to students wanting extension and to achieve a 40+ study score. Many of my students have gone on to study linguistics at university as a breadth or major as they found a great joy for it through English Language. I love linguistics and the subject of English Language, and I believe I can instil a similar passion in my students. My goal is to foster a love of learning about language and encourage students to see it is a valuable tool for their futures, no matter their pathway. I endeavour to make my students' studies as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while they see significant progress and results of which they can be proud- regardless of their starting point. I have a very large range of resources available and strategies I use due to my length of experience as both a teacher and tutor. All tutoring students will have access to these resources, including practice SACs, practice texts, extensive scaffolding and guidelines. I am always happy to read over, mark and provide feedback for practice SACs and exams. My marking data over the years has consistently demonstrated I mark extremely accurately to how examiners mark. All lessons are 1 hour. Online tutoring: $100 In person, at your house or local library in reasonably local distance to Caulfield (during school term) or Williamstown: $120 (any time)
