So guys, the oral exam for LOTE's are coming up in a few months (from October to mid November). Prep work for this may not have started for some of you as your detailed study topic may not be introduced to you yet. Let me tell you these next couple of months are going to be some of the busiest and stressful as the oral exam is the FIRST exam you will have when you have 4 (or 5) other subjects to study for as well.
Getting a handle on this oral assessment with some extra help will be really crucial and possibly be an advantage over other students who may have less time to prepare. This is where I, swoop (as seen on vcenotes) can be of assistance. I've had half a year experience in tutoring students for this subject in its entirety but I'm very happy to tutor those only concerned with the oral exam.
I can help with:
- Finding resources on your detailed study
- Organising yourself for the exam
- Giving wise words for the exam (a.k.a tips and pointers
) - Being a practice buddy for your exam
- Help with the upcoming sac related to your detailed study (written and oral sacs)
- Providing a list of key vocab and phrases necessary for the exam
- Improve your 'repair strategies' for scenarios which you may not expect in the exam
I have saved 15-20 pages of my own preparation for the oral exam last year which was on Perempuan di Indonesia (women in Indonesia). I am more than happy to give that to you as additional resource. This can be used as a guideline as to how you can organise yourself. I am also willing to research your detailed study topic so that it can be beneficial to you to get more out of the sessions with me.
Interested? Well you can pm me or email me on

I prefer tutoring at home in south-eastern suburbs but I'm willing to make other arrangements if possible. Hope to see you
