What I am studying now: I intend to study a Bachelor of Secondary Education, majoring in English, commencing in 2026. My academic background and strong performance across both creative and theory-based subjects have shaped my interest in teaching and supporting students in achieving their best outcomes. My best subjects and marks: Visual Arts has been my strongest subject throughout my schooling, where I placed first every year from Years 7–12. In Years 11 and 12, I maintained an average of 95% across all internal assessments, with a preliminary mark of 97% and a final scaled HSC mark of 89 (one mark below Band 6). My Visual Arts Body of Work was nominated for ARTEXPRESS and received a mark of 46+ out of 50. I also achieved strong results across other subjects, including Hospitality (Food & Beverage) with a scaled mark of 80, Drama and English Advanced with scaled marks of 75, and Mathematics Standard 2 with a scaled mark of 73. My teaching style: My teaching style is supportive, structured, and tailored to each student’s learning style. I focus on breaking down syllabus requirements and marking criteria into clear, achievable steps, while encouraging students to think critically, creatively, and with confidence. I aim to create a calm and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing their ideas. How I can help as a tutor: As a tutor, I support students in improving assessment results, strengthening their understanding of course content, and developing high-quality responses aligned with marking guidelines. While I cannot directly assist in the creation of major works, I am able to provide detailed feedback, guidance, and suggestions for improvement. Sessions will primarily focus on theory-based work—including content comprehension, visual analysis, essay structure, and syllabus application—unless otherwise discussed and agreed upon. Drawing on my firsthand experience achieving top results, I help students feel organised, motivated, and confident in their abilities, particularly in Visual Arts and English.
