SPECIALIST ENGLISH TUTOR | 7+ years experience | UNSW DEAN'S LIST RECIPIENT (top of course) IN ENGLISH LITERATURE + CREATIVE WRITING (High Distinction Average) | HISTORY OF EXCELLENT REVIEWS (see below) | EXCELLENT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS (eg. 99.95 ATAR from one of my 2022 HSC students + 99.90 ATAR from three of my 2022+2021+2020 HSC students) | Sydney CBD Teaching Office Hello! My name is Janelle and I am a private tutor with 6+ years of experience, specialising in English essay writing and creative writing. My expertise arises from not only my high marks and top rankings in HSC English, but also my in-depth research and further university studies completed in the specialisations of English Literature and Creative Writing (graduating with High Distinction). My experience tutoring many years of HSC and senior high school students also makes me extremely familiar with the new syllabus and marking demands. I currently privately tutor over 25 students. Additionally, I have also mentored many younger students, helping them build strong foundations in analysis and creative writing, as well as fostering their love for literature. I also have built up a rapport with past English HSC markers and experienced high school teachers, enabling me to give you a well-informed answer regarding what the markers are looking for in the HSC. Many of my university English Literature and Creative Writing courses are also the compulsory courses undertaken by NSW Department of Education English teachers, which my further research and literature specialisation also extends upon. ✔ LONG HISTORY OF STUDENT SUCCESS (see below) ✔ UNSW DEAN'S LIST FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE (in English Literature and Creative Writing) ✔ DOUBLE DEGREE BACHELOR OF LAW + ARTS (English Literature and Creative Writing specialisation) at UNSW ✔ UNSW 1st Round Guaranteed Offer ✔ SYDNEY GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL graduate (4th in NSW academically selective school in my graduating year) ✔ VERIFIED MARKS ✔ 99+ ATAR ✔ HIGH DISTINCTION UNIVERSITY AVERAGE MARK ✔ Taught by multiple Cambridge University PhD English Literature professors ✔ 2 PROFESSIONAL TEACHING STUDIOS + ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORM ✔ LONG HISTORY OF POSITIVE REVIEWS (see below) 💰 PRICING 💰 PRICING FROM $190 for SMALL GROUP FACE TO FACE CLASSES 📝 1 on 1 tutoring $260/hr per student 📝 Small Group Specialised Class tutoring from $90 per 2hr class (classes are 2hrs to 3hrs in duration, depending on subject and year level) 📝 HSC Intensive preparation class (1 week intensive preparation classes) packages (price differs depending on English Adv, English Standard, Ext 1, Ext 2) Classes held at both Sydney CBD Teaching Studio and Burwood Teaching Studio (please enquire to find a suitable class for your child's ability and needs) 🎯 2022 ACHIEVEMENTS FROM A FEW OF MY HSC STUDENTS: 💯 🎯 99.85 ATAR 🎯 99.80 ATAR 🎯 99.65 ATAR 🎯 99.50 ATAR 🎯 99.45 ATAR 🎯 97/100 English Advanced 🎯 97/100 English Advanced 🎯 48/50 English Ext 1 🎯 45/50 English Ext 1 🎯 47/50 English Ext 2 💯 2021 ACHIEVEMENTS FROM A FEW OF MY HSC STUDENTS: 💯 💯 99.90 ATAR 💯 99.70 ATAR 💯 99.65 ATAR 💯 98/100 English Advanced 💯 97/100 English Advanced 💯 95/100 English Advanced 💯 90/100 English Advanced 💯 93/100 English (EAL/D) 💯 48/50 English Extension 1 💯 47/50 English Extension 1 💯 45/50 English Extension 1 💯 multiple full mark school assessments from my Yr 7-12 students ✅ (FOR MORE INFO AND RESULTS SCREENSHOTS: please feel free to Google my tutoring business AGS Consulting (Australia) by searching: agsca student results) ✅ 🌟 2020 ACHIEVEMENTS FROM A FEW OF MY HSC STUDENTS: 🌟 🌟 99.90 ATAR 🌟 99.85 ATAR 🌟 98/100 English Advanced 🌟 96/100 English Advanced 🌟 94/100 English Advanced 🌟 95/100 English (EAL/D) 🌟 48/50 English Extension 1 🌟 47/50 English Extension 2 ✅ (FOR MORE INFO AND RESULTS SCREENSHOTS: please feel free to Google my tutoring business AGS Consulting (Australia) by searching: agsca student results) ✅ ********************************************************* SOME OF MY PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS: Sydney Girls High School (English): • English Advanced: Ranked top 3 in both Year 11 and Year 12 • English Extension 1: Ranked 1st in Year 11 + Ranked 1st in HSC Trials • English Extension 2: Ranked equal 1st in Yr 12 • Ranked 1st in Year 7 English • Ranked 1st in Year 7 Creative Writing • Ranked top 5 in Year 8, Year 9 and Year 10 English UNSW (English Literature): • HIGH DISTINCTION average mark across all my UNSW English Literature Courses (analytical/essay writing) • TOP OF UNIVERSITY COHORT + High Distinction in Shakespearean Drama university course (including The Tempest, Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, etc.) • High Distinction in Australian Literature course (including poetry, contemporary Australian fiction, migrant stories, short stories by Nam Le, Aboriginal literature) • High Distinction in English Literature courses focusing on gothic literature, romantic poetry, science-fiction literature • High Distinction in English Literature course on manifestos, utopian and dystopian writing • High distinction in Literary Modernism course (avant-garde films, literary experimentalism, Samuel Beckett's absurdist plays) UNSW (Creative Writing): • HIGH DISTINCTION average in UNSW Creative Writing Courses • High Distinction in analytical and theoretical essay on character development in Creative Writing course • High Distinction in Creative Writing course focusing on life writing (including character development, character voice, imagery, moving descriptions etc.) • experience writing personal reflections on creative stories • High Distinction on major creative work (3000 words) • Distinction in Philosophy course, which enables a deep philosophical grounding to the crafting of existentialist imaginative writing, often examined with Modernism or in HSC Advanced/HSC Ext 1 ********************************************************* My major in English Literature and minor in Creative Writing also adds to my skills and abilities in helping students write both critically within essays, and creatively to craft emotionally moving stories and imaginative works that stand out from the crowd.

Sarah Wang on 19th August 2024
My daughter has been taught by Janelle for over a year now, and since early on, I noticed Janelle helped my daughter achieve a much better understanding of the content and learning at school, and she also helped my daughter establish a much better study habit and learning attitude. My daughter historically disliked English, and now with Janelle's guidance, my daughter enjoys English a lot more, and her marks have improved from before always being around 50% which made us worried, to now achieving more than 85% to 90% consistently in her school exams after learning from janelle Janelle is a very patient, knowledgeable and expert tutor who is very good at teaching. her expertise really helped my daughter achieve her best. she also helped my daughter become a more well-rounded person, and my wife and I are very grateful to have found teacher Janelle.

Janelle is an extremely meticulous and observant tutor who adapts the classwork towards the student’s weaknesses, teaching a broad range of effective strategies and helping develop good habits even under stressful exam conditions. Last year, my daughter’s result was just below average in the yearly exams for English. Sometimes, this content is not covered well enough in school, as students are often expected to automatically understand how to write effective and cohesive essays. 3 months later and my daughter scored full marks in her English exam! Janelle’s lessons not only helped raise her English marks, but the skills she taught were applicable across all her other subjects too. She also has amazing soft skills as she knows how to improve a student’s interest in English holistically alongside the content. I strongly recommend Janelle! An extremely amazing teacher!
Ruby on 10th April 2024
Janelle is a wonderful tutor, she is really knowledgeable, always so helpful and her teaching style is also really easy to understand how to prepare for exams, analyse quotes and use sophisticated techniques. With Janelle's guidance I was able to improve +45% in my exams, just since starting lessons with her. I feel more confident in English now, and I feel like I finally understand how to write essays and creative writing. I would really really recommend Janelle, she is really amazing and different in a good way to all other tutors I've had before
Erica Z. on 9th April 2024

Gabriella Hu on 19th June 2023
Janelle is best tutor my son has ever had, we saw huge improvements and big difference once we switched from previous english teacher to Janelle.

Janelle is a wonderful tutor, and helped my daughter tremendously in guiding my daughter to receive a 99.95 ATAR this year, and 98/100 in advanced english as well as 48/50 in extension english. She has really supported my daughter’s learning throughout the years and helped her improve from someone who hated english to now excelling and loving English.

Janelle has been privately tutoring both my son and daughter for a very long time now, and both my children say she is the best English tutor ever. From a parent's perspective I have really seen both my son and daughter's grades improve drastically, and now they are receiving A+'s and full marks for their recent assessments. They also know a lot more about literature, and a lot of literary theories which Janelle has taught them. Her expertise and understanding in English analysis and creative writing is really deep and it really shows in her teaching.

I was previously studying at the big tutoring colleges and honestly swapping to having Janelle as my tutor is one of the best decisions I’ve made.

She is also really good at explaining where I went wrong in my previous essays, and really talked through the process of essay writing and creative writing in a step by step way which was super easy to understand. She explains things with a lot of detail and shows me examples of how to improve my analysis. That is really helpful to me. I never thought I would be able to gain full marks for my past 2 assessments, but I feel like I’ve really learnt so much from her. Honestly her style of teaching is so good, and she is also a really supportive and lovely person. I would definitely recommend her.

Character references

I have previously worked with Janelle in a teaching environment and I am certain that she would be a great tutor for high school students. She is an extremely supportive and encouraging person, expresses herself clearly, and always enjoys talking about English literature. She is also a really dedicated, timely, and highly organised person who is passionate about what she does. She is a great co-worker, an amazing person too, and I believe she would make a great private tutor.
