Phoebe tutored me all through Year 12 in English adv, Society and Culture & modern history. Her personal dedicated approach allowed me to strive to reach my academic goals. Each session had a clear goal I needed for an upcoming exam or assesment, enhancing my rounded knowledge of the syllabus and content. Phoebe holds bounds of social political knowlege relevant to HSC, and is extremely friendly. I would recommend for anyone humanities and economics based in their final years of school.

Phoebe has made a huge difference to my daughters year 12 experience. Not only is she a true professional but she has developed my daughters ability to have confidence in subjects that she previously didn’t, and given her a new enjoyment for English as a subject. These learnings flowed into other subjects as well. I cannot recommend Phoebe more highly. It is money well spent.

Phoebe is one of the best tutors I have ever encountered. She is very passionate, aspiring, helpful, sweet and makes you feel super comfortable and open to approach her on what you need help in. Phoebe helped me learn many new things that made me improve in my HSC year and helped me sustain my marks in each of my classes. I became better in writing and developing new ideas for my subjects which made me keen to study and focus more! These are only some of the things that make phoebe an amazing tutor! :)

Phoebe, an exceptional tutor, and role model has made my year 12 experience transformative. Phoebe’s intelligence and passion for the subjects she tutors is reflected in her remarkable dedication to helping her students excel. Her reliability and engaging teaching style has positively increased my motivation, grades, and overall attitude towards my studies. Phoebes detailed notes, resources, and study tips has enabled me to continuously develop my study habits, and notes, making learning more accessible, and increasing my academic confidence. Phoebes ability to connect with her students, and cater to their academic needs makes her a flexible and effective tutor. I thus highly recommend Phoebe, her positive attitude and her overall brilliance to everyone looking for tutoring.

Phoebe is one of those rare people whose immense kindness, intelligence and work ethic all align at the same high level. She is extremely knowledgeable across all her subjects due to her pure passion and extreme dedication to learning the courses inside out. Her humility and friendly nature shines through as she shares and teaches her knowledge in an easily consumed and understood way. I cannot recommend Phoebe high enough, as her tutoring will not only provide access to her incredible knowledge, but also a path way to a more dedicated and passionate form of study.

Phoebe is an extraordinarily intelligent and kind hearted young woman. Her diligence across her high school studies has enabled her to achieve such commendable marks in her HSC exams. Truly a deep thinker, she is able to converse across a range of subject matters with a refined skill, guided by passion, in the fields of economics, english, and history to name a few. Frankly, Phoebe is an asset to those around her where patience and endurance has allowed for an academic excellence like no other. Any student would be extremely fortunate to have Phoebe by their side across their studies.
