Oliver did an amazing job of guiding Noah through his Y12 English course. Even though we contacted him late in the piece, he established a connection with N from the get-go, working his magic in explaining how to best approach questions, setting him up with a plan of attack, and what a turnaround in just a matter of months! Thanks to Olly, Noah achieved 91 in his HSC exam, which is a massive improvement from his grading of 60 during his Term 2 assessment cluster. Clearly Oliver’s approach worked and we are forever grateful to him for steering our boy in the right direction.

Olly was so encouraging and helpful! I wish my boys had discovered him sooner. He gave practical tools to improve my boys essays and short answers ! Thank you for your knowledge and experience.

Oliver has tutored my son during his last PDHPE HSC exam preparation. Oliver is a very confident, competent tutor that knows how to break down complex study material. He has demonstrated the ability to test and teach students with a different approach to boost their knowledge and confidence.
I would not hesitate recommending Oliver to future parents needing tutoring for their kids.

I have two sons in Senior school and both found English to be a challenging subject where it was hard to know how to get good marks. We started English tutoring with Oliver over a year ago and he has been the most amazing tutoring. He has been able to help both boys navigate through the course content confidently and has helped them improve their scores materially. He is encouraging and supportive and seems to understand exactly what each student needs to work on. I highly recommend Olly and he is definitely the best English tutor we have ever come across.

Ollie has done an outstanding job tutoring my son Will for two years. He has gone from being ranked 2nd last in Advance English to being in the top half of his cohort. Will finds Ollie very practical and calm in his approach and gives Ollie credit for continuing to motivate him. Will and I would definitely recommend Ollie as a tutor.

Oliver has been a great tutor and has effectively helped me throughout year 11 and year 12. I saw my english assesment marks drastically improve over the past two years. Through our sessions, I gained so many tips and knowledge on essays and short answer questions that would eventually help me throughout my english HSC exams.

Oliver is an excellent tutor. He is thorough and very experienced. He tutored my daughter in HSC Advanced English. He is reliable and was extremely flexible to fit in additional lessons when required. He knows the syllabus very well and is focussed on challenging the student and working towards improving grades. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent tutor.

Olly has tutored my son in English since year 6 and he is currently studying Advanced English in Year 12. Olly has been an exceptional tutor over these 7 years consistently providing guidance, direction and feedback on many English tasks. He has encouraged my son to engage with assessments that otherwise would have caused confusion and contributed to his growth in the subject and strong results. Olly is reliable and focused and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him as an English tutor.
