About
Hi, my name is Cindy and I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Commerce/Law at UNSW. I graduated from Hornsby Girls High School in 2020 with a 95+ ATAR. During my senior years, my favourite subject was English and I received HSC marks of 96/100 for English Advanced and 46/50 for English Extension 1 respectively.
Primarily, I offer one-off marking services for high school students such as Yr 11-12 students who wish to consolidate their essays/assignments prior to their assessment due dates. Since graduating, I have been selected as a peer tutor for Hornsby Girls to help Year 12 students with English and have also worked with several English tutoring centers to create lesson materials and teach students. I have 5 years experience working in the tutoring industry and hold a valid WWCC. The numerous students who I have tutored include those from Girraween High School, Epping Boys High School, Hornsby Girls High School, Normanhurst Boys High School, Cheltenham Girls High School, Baulkham Hills High School, Cherrybrook Technology High School and Thomas Hassal Anglican College to name a few.
Due to convenience, all marking and lessons will be conducted online. My teaching style is flexible and my lessons are tailored to address the weaknesses and preferences of students to best help them. As a content creator with a following across Instagram and Tiktok, I have experience making teaching content and possess a range of resources including my own former essays which I am happy to share with students as samples.
The texts I studied were:
English Advanced:
a) Common Module: 'The Merchant of Venice' by William Shakespeare
b) Module A: 'Mrs Dalloway' by Virginia Woolf & 'The Hours' by Stephen Daldry
c) Module B: TS Eliot's Selected Poems
d) Module C: 'What Time Is It Now, Where You Are?' by Colum McCann, 'That Crafty Feeling' by Zadie Smith, 'Spotty Handed Villainesses' by Margaret Atwood
Ideally, if you are doing any of the above texts I will be able to provide more in depth feedback (because I've studied them), however don't worry if not because I will still be able to pinpoint areas of weakness and improve your essay quality regardless.

Cindy’s guidance and unwavering support was instrumental in my HSC journey. She is incredibly supportive and enthusiastic, creating a positive and constructive learning environment. With her deep understanding of what the markers are looking for, Cindy helped me break down complex essay questions and formulate my ideas in a more unique and effective way. Her in-depth feedback was both comprehensive and detailed, which not only improved my writing and essays but also boosted my confidence in the subject. I am incredibly grateful for all Cindy has done to support me and I cannot recommend her highly enough to any student seeking an exceptional English tutor!

*Parent's Review*
I am incredibly grateful to Cindy for the exceptional support she provided to my daughter. Thanks to Cindy’s guidance, my daughter achieved a high band 6 in HSC English Advanced.
Cindy’s dedication is unmatched. Even during her university exam week, she took the time to offer detailed feedback when my daughter needed it most—a gesture that truly exemplifies her commitment to her students.
Moreover, Cindy’s collection of exemplary essay samples was invaluable in helping my daughter refine her writing skills and gain confidence.
For any parent seeking an outstanding English tutor for their child’s senior year, I highly recommend Cindy. Her expertise and willingness to go above and beyond make her an exceptional tutor.

I first had Cindy as my tutor in year 11 and helped me all throughout both year 11 and 12 english advanced. She would check up on how I was doing and would help in areas I was unfamiliar with. It was a rocky time for both of us however she helped me get the job done with a band 5 for English advanced in year 12!

Cindy tutored me for English Advanced throughout the second half of Year 12. At first my essay writing skills and short answer responses were extremely poor, but with her marking, tips and feedback I was able to pull up my English rank from 86/134 to 50/134 in only two assessment tasks. In the end, she played a pivotal role in my HSC study, allowing me to achieve an external mark of 93 and an overall band 6. I would definitely recommend her to other students struggling // willing to enhance their English performance.
