However, it was in Year 11 where I started really trying to make an effort with developing the right study skills and writing techniques โ€“ I began putting more hours into English, and was able to achieve a cumulative rank #9 in Advanced English and #5 in extension 1 English in y11 without any tutoring at all! ๐Ÿ˜บ. I believe that it was through perfecting these techniques that I was able to receive the highest marks in 2u, 3u and 4u English in my cohort during the HSC ๐Ÿค“. Because of this, I completely understand the unique challenges students face with HSC English โ€“ yet more than anyone, I recognise that all students have the potential to do extremely well in the right learning environment.

Reviews

Sophie was an excellent English tutor. She was really nice and her explanations made the essay-writing process much easier by first helping me brainstorm conceptual ideas and then finding the best quotes to link the argument together! Right before my exam block she also gave really detailed feedback outside of lesson time which helped me polish my essay for my Task 1 and I ended up doing really well. Would really recommend Sophie as a tutor!
