Yep its $100 an hour, +$50 if you want an essay marked.
I can guarantee the corrections are equivalent to the ones people on VN do.

looks and sounds like an epic douche.
$100 an hour is retarded.

But yet, there will be demand for people* like him, and they will be willing to pay that $100 for that one hour.

You people might want to make intelligent contributions rather than calling him an idiot based on his appearance and pricing.

He must be at least somewhat good if he's charging that much and has students; but there are possibly better, cheaper alternatives here on VCEnotes, or with other senior tutors (which are generally 40-80$/hour with essay marking).

If anyone wants an essay marked I'm willing to do it at the low low price of $45.

Hi everyone  :D
Sorry to dig up such an old topic! I was just wondering whether Chris O'Callaghan would be worth going to for 3/4 English? Would love to hear all your opinions  :)

I'd just go to literally lauren if I was you, or Thaanyan on here. 100$ is ridiculous and I seriously doubt he can do anything that the English crew on here can't. Even just find a local teacher or tutor- there's much better things to spend 100$ on (like it's ok to spend money on tutoring but that amount is too much to be worth it imo)

1. Yeah,  $100 is fucking outrageous. To put it in perspective, I tutor people at 1/4 that price and they all leave happy (at least, that I know of LOL).

2. Plz no necrobumping, locked.
