About

My name is Harris and I am a 22-year-old student at the University of Sydney doing a degree in Advanced Science and French. I offer tutoring in all levels of French, including Beginners, Continuers and Extension. I am passionate about French and I love teaching. I ranked 2nd in NSW for Extension French in the 2019 HSC, and I am currently studying Advanced French. I also tutor maths, English and biology. I have a patient and supportive tutoring style and I love helping students to achieve their best while enjoying what they are learning. I have 8+ years of tutoring experience, from primary school students through to HSC and IB students. My overall feedback from students and parents is that I am supportive, engaging, and help to explain concepts in ways that are easy to grasp. I am flexible with lessons and can combine different subjects and lesson styles. For example, lessons might include: - Exam revision - Subject-specific exam and study tips - Going over difficult concepts covered in class - Doing and/or marking practice exams together - Homework support - Tailored lessons to suit the student's changing needs Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me to discuss how I can help!

Reviews

Harris is super flexible, friendly and knowledgeable about French and how the NSW curriculum and HSC exams work. At the start of our lessons, I received average marks in my class and ranked 3rd last in the most recent assessment, but after a few months of weekly lessons I jumped to the top student and received a band 6 score of 90 in my HSC. She has always been resourceful and adaptable to my needs at any time, whether studying at the last minute, focusing on grammar, new vocab or general revision. In addition to having the option to choose lesson styles with either speaking only French relevant to year 12 speaking assessments, extending my knowledge or routinely integrating class feedback, Harris has always warmly assisted me without putting any unnecessary pressure. I would definitely recommend Harris to any French student genuinely interested in language aspects such as grammar conjugations and etymology, as she is passionate, experienced and well-informed about the language and NESA content expectations.

Harris was my tutor for year 12 french continuers in 2023. She was an amazing french tutor who I would certainly recommend, due to not only her fluency in the language but her knowledge of the HSC course and the specifics required to ace the exams (writing, speaking, reading & listening). In addition, her bubbly and kind personality are truely encouraging and inspiring for continued motivation and study. Harris especially helped me improve my speaking skills, by asking diverse questions in french that mimicked the structure of the final HSC exam. Thanks to Harris, I got a final mark of 88 in the HSC for french, a significant improvement from my previous marks such as an 11/20 for speaking in year 10.
