95+ ATAR | Band 6 English tutoring | English Advanced, English Extension 1, English Extension 2 Hello, I’m Phoebe van Niekerk :) I graduated from Meriden in 2023 with a 95+ ATAR, ranking 2nd for English Advanced and English Extension 2, and 5th for English Extension 1. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) / Bachelor of International Security Studies at the ANU, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and study strategies to help you achieve your best results in English. Qualifications for English: - Rank 2 in English Advanced (Internal) o Internal assessment mark: 97/100 o HSC examination mark: 96/100 - Rank 5 in English Extension 1 (Internal) o Internal assessment mark: 46/50 o HSC examination mark: 45/50 - Rank 2 in English Extension 2 (Internal) o Internal assessment mark: 46/50 o HSC examination mark: 46/50 Teaching Ethos: Faced with underwhelming English results in the early years of high school, I recognised the imperative for a transformation. I found myself ensnared in unproductive habits—producing superficial thematic essays that only vaguely addressed the nuanced and complex questions presented in my exams. Despite faithfully adhering to my teacher's prescribed formula of incorporating four quotes and PEEL, it wasn't until I critically examined my approach to learning English that I witnessed a remarkable upswing in my academic performance. If you’re looking to elevate your HSC English performance, I’d love to share my knowledge and strategies with you.
