4 YEARS EXPERIENCE //HSC ALL-ROUNDER// USYD PSYCHOLOGY **2024 SPACES OPEN** Hi there! I am a dedicated and highly organised person who is committed to helping your child stay on top of their studies during these difficult and uncertain times. Over the past four years, I have been tutoring both primary and secondary students, witnessing remarkable academic improvements in English and Humanities. Additionally, I achieved the HSC All-Rounder Award in 2020 (Band 6 in all subjects) and maintained a WAM of 80+ at University. Moreover, I hold a valid Working With Children’s Check. Being a third-year psychology student at the University of Sydney, I understand the pressures of academic life and the pursuit of maintaining excellent grades. My psychology background equips me to better address students’ needs, especially during stressful exam periods, ensuring they feel at ease and well-prepared to tackle their coursework while improving their skills. Furthermore, my personalised teaching approach guarantees that each student receives tailored attention aligned with their unique learning style and requirements.

I got Christine as my tutor for the HSC English Advanced and Extension I courses. I can honestly say that she has helped a lot with my writing and analysing of the texts. She is very thorough with her work and explains things in a manner that is easy to understand. She has been a big help in getting my writing skills back on track and has reignited my passion for the english subject :)

Christine has been tutoring my son and two daughters in English this year, and I could not be more pleased with her dedication and expertise. She consistently arrives prepared for each lesson, punctual and well-versed in her subject matter. Her approach is highly tailored to meet the unique needs of each of my children, crafting personalised plans that align with their academic goals. Thanks to Christine's guidance, my daughter in year 10 has made progress in her reading comprehension, making a marked improvement in her results. Christine’s flexibility with scheduling has also been immensely helpful, making it easier to accommodate our family's busy schedule. As a parent, I wholeheartedly endorse Christine for anyone seeking individualised and focused academic support. Her commitment to creating tailored plans and achieving targeted goals sets her apart as an exceptional tutor.

Christine K has been tutoring my daughter (Year 10) since March this year. She has assisted her in various subjects such as English, History, Commerce and even PDHPE. At present they are working on MacBeth. As a parent, I have found Christine to be very responsible, most knowledgable and organised. When needed she carefully prepares for the tutoring sesson before hand so the time spent is utilised well and with great results. She is flexible and accommodating for my daughters changing needs and this has been more than helpful. My daughter always comments on how intelligent and insightful Christine is in various subjects and topics. The sessions have been of great benefit to my daughter. I searched for hours reading through pages and pages of various tutors on offer.. But we are very lucky to have chosen Christine. We, (mother and daughter), 'highly' recommend her to anyone that is wanting to be with a dedicated and intelligent tutor. You will not be disappointed at all.

Christine's exceptional teaching style has had a profound impact on my academic performance, particularly in the realm of English. Through the meticulously structured lessons she provides, I have experienced a significant improvement in my grades and overall understanding of the subject matter. Moreover, her ability to break down complex concepts into easily digestible parts has greatly enhanced my comprehension and retention of the material. Under Christine's guidance, I have also witnessed a noticeable boost in my rankings across various subjects, including English, SORII, Ancient History and PE. This is because her lessons are comprehensive, incorporating a blend of grammar, vocabulary and writing skills. Overall, I would definitely recommend Christine as a tutor!

Christine has been absolutely amazing with my daughter! She’s so organised and prepared for each lesson. Whenever my daughter reaches out to her she always responds quite quickly. I truly couldn’t be happier with the help she’s giving my daughter and highly recommend her as a tutor.

I would highly recommend Christine K as an English tutor.  Christine has been tutoring my daughter for one term specifically for creative writing, Christine is very patient, adaptable, a clear communicator, and tailors the lesson specific to your child's requirements. Both my daughter and I can see a vast improvement in my daughter's creative writing skills in such a short period of time, and look forward to her continued improvement whilst continuing Christine as her tutor.

Christine is currently tutoring me for HSC English Standard. She is a great tutor who explains concepts incredibly well and provides excellent in-depth feedback. She can easily adapt her teaching style to suit the way that you learn. Christine doesn’t judge you when you get things wrong and is happy to re-explain concepts that you are having difficulty with. She has a lot of tips and tricks from her own HSC experience, of which she thankfully has shared with me as well as her other clients. Christine is super organised, is always prepared for our sessions and is a fantastic communicator. I have benefited immensely from having her as my tutor this year and would highly recommend her to any future student/parent.

Christine is a fabulous tutor, she really grasps a student's weak spots and works tirelessly to help you achieve your full potential. I had been struggling with my essays for a while now, and since coming to Christine, she has really lifted my confidence in writing essays and I genuinely enjoy writing now. Definitely one of the best tutors out there in terms of skill and being an overall moral support!
- By suneyra on 31st August 2022

Christine has tutored my daughter in Maths for over a year. Her class follows a structure which includes activities that keep my daughter engaged. Christine discusses progress and plans around areas of focus depending on the needs of her students. I have asked for homework to be provided at the end of each class and an assessment of progress on request and has accommodated these requirements. Christine also plans ahead of class and tests knowledge from previous session. Overall, I am happy with the way sessions are going.
- By Ana Chung on 4th August 2022

Christine is a dedicated and hard-working tutor who has helped me achieve all of my learning goals in such a short amount of time. She has increased my confidence in English, History and Science, which has aided my development as a well-rounded student. During my study of Othello, she prepared act and scene summaries, thematic analysis tables and many more useful resources which were extremely helpful in improving my understanding of Shakespeare's play which was initially quite difficult to understand.
- By Hanna on 27th July 2022
