State Rank English Advanced | 4+ years experience 🌟 | 99.85 ATAR | English Extension 1 & 2 Top Marks Hello! I'm Samantha - I graduated from James Ruse in 2021, and am currently studying a combined Bachelor of Law/Bachelor of Arts (majoring in Comparative Literature) degree at Sydney University. I offer Preliminary and HSC English tutoring online in a one-on-one or small group format, with an approach that balances illustration, feedback and practice. I also offer one-off essay review classes to refine your essay into a final draft before exams and develop exam strategies and techniques. Having taught in this subject for the last 4 years, I realise that everyone learns differently, and aim to tailor my classes to better suit the learning style of my students, particularly because English is about more than just being able to write, but also about first mastering skills in perceptive and critical thinking and then being able to showcase those skills through sophisticated expression. My HSC experience (throughout COVID) was a challenging one, but it has sharpened by ability to know what it takes to get students motivated and achieving at their best, and I aim to be a mentor and unconditional supporter as well as a tutor. I teach all texts on the old and new syllabus and have taught students from various top schools in the State including James Ruse, North Sydney Boys, North Sydney Girls, Normanhurst Boys, Sydney Boys, Knox, The King's School, Meriden, among others. All of my students have scored in the highest band in the English HSC and many have gone on to study degrees such as Medicine, Law and other Advanced Health/Science/Engineering programs. Please contact me at your convenience with any questions and I look forward to meeting you! 🌟 HSC Marks 🌟 English Advanced - 98/100 (State Rank) English Extension One - 48/50 Chemistry - 97/100 Maths Advanced - 98/100 Maths Extension 1 - 49/50
