About
2026 NEW AND CURRENT ECONOMICS SYLLABUS - experience and expertise
I have significant teaching experience (>10 years) having taught Economics and social sciences at a top 10 NSW high school and English and Maths at Talent100 and other top tutoring colleges in Sydney. Previously, I have also been a tutor at Newington College. I am a certified high school teacher with a Masters of Teaching in Economics, Business Studies, Commerce and other Social sciences subjects.
I was also part of the Australian Economics Olympiad committee.
I have achieved consistently high results through differentiated and individualised teaching and learning strategies. I can extend learners as well as help students struggling with the basics. I know the Economics syllabus very well and have collaborated with past HSC markers in the past.
I have also marked and created HSC school assessment tasks and trial HSC so understand what markers are looking for.
Why risk your child being tutored by someone with no formal teaching qualifications nor substantial experience as a teacher?
My lessons are individualised to the student’s learning needs and will follow the syllabus, explicit instruction of content, practice writing tasks, exemplar responses, essay writing feedback, assessment help, updated current economics information and exam style techniques.
This is all catered to the individual needs of the student and their ability levels. Emphasis is placed on ensuring they have a solid knowledge of economics before extending them further as part of a growth mindset. Positive encouragement, care and flexibility are core values of my teaching approach.
Year 11/12 Economics - $155+/hr
I also majored in Spanish so can provide listening, speaking and writing help.
Other subjects that I can teach are : IB Global Politics, Economics, Year 9/10 Commerce and History ($135/hr) , Year 11/12 Business Studies.
More than ten years teaching experience in:
2-6 English and Maths - NAPLAN, homework, study skills, writing and critical thinking skills, extension ($120+/hr)
7-10 English and Maths - NAPLAN, homework, study skills and assignment help, writing skills and exam techniques ($135+/hr)
These subjects involve explicit teaching, scaffolding and working to improve learning and study skills. The focus is a combination of mentoring and learning to become independent and confident learners.
Limited availability so please contact me if you’d like a lesson.

Reviews
Jo is an excellent tutor. Very well structured and able to focus in on the high value reward that tutoring can bring to support school efforts. Jo assisted our son through the final weeks of HSC revision and really helped build confidence and technique, while also focussing on the relevant content. The communication was excellent, both with our son and with parents. Thoroughly recommend.
