Updated Thread (i.e. good, better, Bobness)Oldness? No
Newness? Maybe
Bobness :uhhuh:
From lessons previously learnt:
Personal: Hi i'm Bob and am an alumnus of James Rice. I attended Baulkham Hills High School up to year 9.
Credentials: I have references from teachers, recognised industry professionals and my peers available upon request. Opinions from current students also on hand. PM me for exact UAI details, I don't think it's too important if i've provided the marks but hey curiosity gets the best of us. By "curiosity" i mean 'we all' and "gets the best of us" i mean 'put our hands up for detroit'.
Experience: I have tutored eleventy students since the hsc and thus have extensive practical experience. I maintain correspondence with past and present english and history hsc markers contributing to my strong knowledge of the syllabus. I am indirectly involved with the English Teachers Association (ETA) and History Teachers Association (HTA) and am the owner of many of their publications. Considering my resources at hand, very interactive tuition and of course ability, my rate is very affordable.
Where: Kensington. Wentworthville. Possibly Xanadu, Tintern Abbey or the World State.
Contacts: To prank me 0433 818 828. To send me emails imploring for my credit card details to help a Nigerian prince distribute his fortune much.bobness@gmail.com. I'm serious if you need me to be, I promise

English Advanced
Mark - I am booked out with my present students for the time being. Of which one is called mark zomg!
My external (hsc) english mark was 69.
The top HSC mark in 2006 was 99 (according to the uac publications) so at least for my actual hsc I was <3 off
I am now extremely competent in teaching Physical Journeys (Huck Finn, Skrzynecki Poetry), Imaginative Journeys (The Tempest, Coleridge Poetry) and Inner Journeys (My Place, Imaginative Corners Poetry) as I have successfully guided my students through these texts in their first term assessments. Most concepts of journeys overlap and thus i can share helpful tips for section 1, section 2 AND section 3 no matter your prescribed txt (msg)

Module B is Yeats Poetry, King Lear and Speeches. Harwood Poetry, Wild swans and Cloudstreet also (having successfully guided my baulko students through module b in their half yearlies - term 1 2007).
Module C is Telling the Truth (Frontline) and Powerplay (Antony & Cleopatra and Bruce Springstien, Madonna, Way before Nirvana There was U2 and Blondie, And music still on MTV, Her two kids in high school, They tell her that she’s uncool, Cause she's still preoccupied with 19, 19, 1984).
I believe I am one of the few English tutors who scored extremely well for English while doing humanities (and not 5unit maths, 8unit science). This is indicative of my genuine interest in this area and as I am continuing with English studies for the remainder of my life, you know you’re investing in someone good
English extension is still individual and society and postmodernism. Creatives in particular are my pianoforte. I can also assist you in orchestrating a symphony of experience as you create inspirational, synesthetic works, and all that jazz.
English extension two, I can act as your sensei providing detailed feedback on your journal process, assessments and the actual major work, in any medium you are composing in. Aishiteru. (Ignore the postcolonial 'orientalism' here but do focus on the psychoanalytical 'pleasure' principle) I myself did critical theory for my proposal before moving onto the short story medium which incorporated poetry.
My areas of interest and research topics undertaken in English are specifically:
§ feminism
§ psychoanalytical discourse theory (I'm very jung at heart and freud-spirited)
§ postmodernism
Geography
Mark - 93
1) Ecosystems at risk
With Minnamurra Rainforest and Towra Point (Botany Bay) as case studies.
My strategy is to help you grasp the underlying concepts in this topic so that all connections within syllabus dot points are VERY clear to you. For e.g. there are many overlaps between management strategies and vulnerability and resilience of ecosystems and I strive to help you most concisely express your ideas with flair. VOTE GREENS!
2) Urban Places
For Urban dynamics I did urban consolidation at Pyrmont. My World City and Mega City case studies were taken from across the globe so I can cater for any cities you might have an interest in!
3) People and Economic Activity
I did Tourism (global) and Quay West Hotels (local).
For the HSC geography course in general I believe that understanding concepts with a strong theoretical framework is imperative. (Like cutting back on greenhouse gases) Hence I build these solid foundations for all my tutorees so that any sophisticated ideas can percolate into your work naturally and subtly
(Like my enthusiastic environmentalism t-r-e-e b-i-e-n)My credentials for this include:
§ High Distinction in the National Geographic Channel (Australian Geography) Competition for the last 3 years. I'm rad, you're rad, let's hug (trees).
§ I was tutored previously by the girl who placed first in the state in HSC Geography 2004. Funny thing is, she's absolutely brilliant in chess and helped me a bit for that as well
Matez§ She actually prepared more than her own school’s case studies for her hsc and I still have some of her handwritten notes. I am willing to share some of this which may relate to your own case studies. And even if you did different case studies I am certain I can still help you. (I can tee to the argh to the why, fo shiz)
