dont spend 80 dollars on an english tutor, take the risk with a student tutor, you could get 2-3 lessons to just try it out and you would still be better off going to a boring old tutor (have friends who went and they did alot of work, but didnt really hit that much success)
vce: english, methods, spesh, chemistry, physics, geography.

Anyone heard of a mark lopez?

Yeah, i had him for a bit, didn't think he was that great, but I liked the guy
He also just ran for a position in State Parliament
sometimes I feel as if I'd be more enriched in life if I bought an RV and started cooking meth

I love how her enrolment form has this:

Quote
For twins or 2 or more children a further 5% discount applies.

One semester is only $300.. I can't believe I wasted $400 on a semester at JAC! FML.

Does anyone know how many students are in one class at Excelsior/Liz Fear?

The max is around 10, but most classes have around 6. I've only been there 2 weeks but its pretty good!

Are all classes are taught by her?

And how does she go about doing Context and Text Response (as everyone does different texts)?

I'm not sure if I should do it as I'm repeating it..

Its just her, no other teachers.

She has separate context classes (she does Whose Reality?, Conflict, and Identity and Belonging), and classes for certain texts (not sure what texts, but I know she does O the waterfront, ransom, and richard III), and language analysis classes. (There are also MHS and MacRob classes (because of high demand) which cover all 3 areas.)

Yea, i went there one lesson..it's too far though (nearly 1hr drive to get there..) and when i e-mailed her the second time, she never got back to me..
she was pretty good, but time management is an issue in VCE.

After school (starting at 4.30) or on mornings on weekends.
