Flynn M.

Hi, I’m Flynn a tutor with three years' and 800+ hours' experience – plus a 99.4 ATAR: •97 Mod Hist •96 Eng Adv •96 Eng Ext 1 •96 Legal •94 French Cont.s •HSC All-Rounder 2022 I also hold a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification, as well as a UTS Online accreditation in Tutoring in Higher Education. For Year 11 and 12, it's difficult not to feel overwhelmed looking at this website with 99's and STATE RANK's leaping out of every profile. Even the HSC behind me, I get a familiar lurch of panic when I see them and think “do I really have to try and pull that off?”. But, in reality, there's a lot of hype to the HSC that simply isn’t justified. I help students cut through this and focus on achieving their personal best. With a 99.4 ATAR and formal credentials in teaching methodology, I’ve got buckets of insider knowledge to share and I’d love to help you do more than you think you’re capable of. If you have any questions or would like some more info, feel free to send a message. I'm currently studying a Bachelor of International Relations and Arts (Political Science) at the Australian National University If you’re interested in how I can help subject-by-subject, read on… ► English Standard, Advanced and Extension 1 English is the subject that the majority of students find the most challenging, mysterious and inaccessible. A lot of the time, it seems like English teachers keep a very long and very specific secret list of marking criteria hidden in the back of their minds – only sharing it with students in brief “I told you so” moments after giving assessments back. In English, there is no one size fits all solution or easy way out, but with a mark of 96 in both Advanced and Extension 1 I can help you make sense of the HSC’s most confounding subject. For English especially, I look to take a dynamic and layered approach to syllabus outcomes and rubrics, because the simple JUDGEMENT + QUESTION WORDING formula often prices you out of the higher mark ranges. With the aid of my extensive study notes, quote banks and exemplars, I’ll help you refine your critical agility and strategic analysis skills to become the English all-rounder who embraces tricky questions and sophisticated syntax like a pro. ► Modern History Modern History can easily be a daunting subject. It can be difficult to avoid the “narrative style” essay that fuels the angry rants of many history teachers - and that’s without even mentioning the avalanche of statistics, dates and names to get buried under. Synthesis, inference and interpretation are key skills that I can help you develop, drawing on the extensive notes, study resources and shortcuts that got me a 99 and #1 internal markl. ►Legal Studies Legal Studies is a subject where going the extra mile is 100% worth it, but knowing where or how to start seems near impossible. As a subject, it’s a lot about structure, making it pretty inaccessible from the outside in. But in going over essay techniques, drafting, (interesting) case studies and the shortcuts that got me a 99 internal, you’ll find this structure is actually a big advantage. Plus, I’ve got tonnes of laws, case studies and crazy detailed notes and resources to help you gain confidence in your Legal writing and analysis abilities. I really enjoyed Legal, and still see SMH articles that I instinctively earmark for essays, so I’d be super happy to help in finding and analysing the perfect contemporary issues for your responses. Whilst Matrix and Art of Smart might try and sell R v Gittany as your golden ticket for every single crime syllabus point, I’ve well and truly got the tools to help you rescue the markers from the excruciating boredom of seeing the same IDMLCs over and over again – coincidentally ensuring a great mark in legal.
