About

- 2025 sessions full! Enquire for 2026 waitlist - My name is Christina and I am currently a Secondary School English Teacher. I have been a teacher of senior and junior English for 5 years now and love it. My background is in learning diversity, as I was in Learning Support for 3 years prior to teaching. I have tutored Year 12, 11 and 10 students in the past and been able to guide them through the exam period and preparation. I absolutely loved English when I was at school, and was able to achieve over a 40 score on my exams in Year 12. I hope that I can help you to feel confidence in English and make tutoring a safe space for you to ask many questions. My teaching style is very hands-on and structured in a way that will help you build a strong foundation of knowledge and skills in English, so you are able to continue to progress throughout secondary school with belief in your ability to succeed.

Reviews

We contacted Christina in late 2023 as our son was struggling with English (Yr11). From the initial phone call and subsequent meet and greet Christina was positive and she engaged with our son and his needs. In 2024 he met with Christina, mostly weekly. Her guidance and understanding of his current level of work and what he needed to do to achieve a pass in SACS and in final exams was invaluable. Christina quickly worked out the best strategy to complete English tasks/essays and ensure that all components were addressed. Christina worked well with his teachers which assisted him. The confidence Christina gave to our son was invaluable. With hard work from both our son and Christina’s tutoring help our son achieve the best results he had ever achieved in English with a study score of 36. We would recommend Christina to anyone looking for an amazing and understanding tutor. We travelled a good hour each way to see Christina but she was worth her weight in gold.
