About

**94.25 HSC ATAR - ENGLISH AND HISTORY TUTORING **Limited Availability **Online Tutoring Available Only **2 hour lesson discounted price at $150.00 My name is Olivia, and I am currently studying a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Western Sydney University (HD average), and have completed a Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience (Honours) at The University of Sydney. I achieved a BAND 6 (the highest mark) in the following HSC subjects: ADVANCED ENGLISH - 94/100 MODERN HISTORY - 94/100 MUSIC 1 - 92/100 ENGLISH EXTENSION 2 - 46/50 Internal Ranks: ENGLISH EXTENSION 2: 1st ANCIENT HISTORY: 1st ENGLISH EXTENSION 1: 2nd ADVANCED ENGLISH: 2nd MUSIC 1: 2nd MODERN HISTORY: 3rd I specialise in tutoring Year 3-6 students who are transitioning to Year 7, who want to succeed in History and English throughout high school. My approach is to encourage an appreciation and understanding of the subject, to enable students to develop the confidence and skills to obtain the best possible mark in assignments and exams. I focus on developing exam technique and essay writing, and believe a strong foundation is the best way to achieve future success in later years, particularly in the HSC. I offer tutoring to high school students in Years 7-10 and also offer intensive tutoring to those in Year 11 and 12 completing their HSC. The students I have tutored have significantly improved their academic performance, and are scoring above 90% in their assessments. I can best help as a tutor as I encourage students to ask questions and seek clarification on key concepts, which improves their understanding and knowledge of the subject. I have a positive mindset, a 'can do' attitude, and have great listening skills. Lessons are planned to best suit each individual's goals and offer honest, constructive feedback to enhance student's academic performance. I have a Working With Children Check (WWC). Please feel free to contact me at any time! Reviews: Olivia goes above and beyond providing amazing in depth feedback to all your work almost instantly!! I only wished I started tutoring with her earlier. Couldn’t recommend her more - Ellen Foy, Year 12 English Advanced Student

Reviews

Olivia is an amazing tutor and person, she is so nice and comforting and really helped me with all aspects of English throughout year 12. Since starting with her I saw a huge improvements in my marks and a shift in my mindset about english to enjoy and love it.

Olivia has been a massive help throughout year 12 Ancient history, not only providing me with plenty of exemplar responses, but also managing to explain really complex topics in easy digestible ways. She has visibly improved my results, and has honestly made me really enjoy ancient. I have had such a great experience with her and could not recommend her enough.

From starting year 12 I began to struggle with Advanced English. I had little confidence and it quickly became my least favourite subject. When I first thought about using zoom for tutoring I was a little sceptical, however upon reflection, I found it extremely convenient and efficient and from my first session with Olivia, I immediately felt comfortable and was able to express my ideas with no worry. Olivia is always on time, highly organised, professional and provided me with many useful resources. From all my tutoring sessions with Olivia, my marks have increased by 20%, my confidence has improved significantly and I now have a greater appreciation of English. Olivia has been extremely helpful, creating a comfortable learning environment and I immediately began to enjoy our tutoring sessions and even look forward to them. I have nothing but positive feedback for Olivia and I would recommend her to every student.

Olivia has created a phenomenal learning environment that encourages critical thinking. She is a welcoming and approachable person, who is always willing to provide help where needed. In my time spent with Olivia, she has greatly helped clarify key concepts that I find I have struggled with in school. She has helped me develop this understanding by providing clear and concise feedback on my essays - feedback which I find myself still applying to this day. Overall, under Olivia's tuition, I find I have significantly improved and refined my skills of essay writing. She is an amazing tutor who I would highly recommend!
