Raw 50 English tutoring (The Women of Troy, Ransom & the Queen)

Hey everyone! I graduated from Year 12 in 2021 with a raw 50 in English and a 99.80 ATAR. My texts were The Women of Troy and Ransom & The Queen. I'm excited to announce that I'm offering low-cost, quality tutoring on the holidays and in 2022!

Being more of a science kid I initially struggled with the subjectivity and tediousness of the subject, and definitely sympathise with a lot of you that despise having to read texts and write essays that never improve in quality. In the lead-up to Year 12, however, I went from someone who struggled in English to someone who genuinely enjoyed it as a break from the full-on nature of my other subjects, and it ended up even being my favourite subject (to the disbelief of my friends).

While there's heaps of resources available online regarding essay structure and phrases to use in your essays, I believe that the most important and often overlooked element is how you approach English. I viewed the Text Response and Comparative sections as more 'philosophy' and the Analysing Argument as 'psychology'; an albeit unconventional approach that worked for me. In addition with a solid understanding of the implicit criteria examiners look for, as well as nuanced ideas and the right vocabulary to express them, you CAN succeed.

What to expect:

✅Classes designed specifically to target your weaknesses, getting to the root of the problem from the very first lesson

✅Training you to think deeply about ideas and concepts beyond the immediately obvious

✅The exact phrasing and 'formulas' I used to convey my ideas

✅Focusing on small details to make your essays stand out - metalanguage specific to plays/novels/films, analysing syntax and punctuation, and more

✅Unlimited access to notes and handouts I created myself as well as from schools

✅Breakdown of my 10/10 essays with extensive feedback from teachers and VCAA assessors

✅24/7 comprehensive feedback to maximise improvement and prepare for even the most pedantic end-of-year examiner

✅Guidance for the creative SAC as well as for the oral SAC from an experienced debater and public speaker

Rate: $40 per hour (individual only, no group sessions)

Locations: Bunjil Place Library, Clayton Library, Monash University (negotiable)

Qualifications: 100% SAC average for both Units 3 & 4, 60/60 on trial exam

I specialise in helping students who are struggling and/or frustrated by their lack of improvement. I am also keen to take on high achievers who want to go from the 7-8 range to the elusive 10s. As long as you have the genuine desire to improve, I look forward to teaching you! :)

Hey there,
I was just inquiring whether or not you would be able to tutor somebody who is analyzing 4 different novels/screenplays this year? Of those 4, my class is looking at the Women of Troy, Things we Didn't see Coming (Steven Amsterdam), Never let me go (Kazuo Ishiguro), and finally Runaway (Alice Munro). Thankyou and hope to speak to you soon,
Vinny
