Hi! I’m Gina and I graduated from James Ruse Agricultural High School in 2025. I went from getting B-range marks in my English assessments in Year 11 to consistently getting 19/20s and 20/20s in Year 12 to achieve a cumulative rank of 3/160 (after Trials) without any tutoring. Along the way, I not only honed my essay-writing skills but I developed a genuine passion for English which I’m excited to share with my students to support them in their high school journey.
I understand the struggle of students who might be getting below-average marks but don't know how to improve, and I am confident that my own marks are not a result of tutoring but of my own independently developed skillset, which I want to pass on to YOU so that you can avoid the mistakes I made and see similar improvements in your English marks.
