I have received a ton of inquiries about tuition and unfortunately I can no longer take any students! Taking late trains on the Frankston line isn't the greatest experience.

However if you're keen to have some help preparing for exams during the next holidays, I will be free most days. Tuition will undergo much the same format as described in my original advertisement but with a stronger focus on the exam: EL (essay-writing and text analysis), French (oral: general convo, detailed study, comprehension). Tuition will be at a cost of $35h and $50 for 1h30 for 1:1 tuition, and $25h pp and $35 for 1h30 pp for group tuition. If you want to get a taste of what my work is like, then please look at the VCAA exam report for French last year: my essay is the very last one (the creative piece)! ]]> VCE Tutoring nelsonpham http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=250427 http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=250426&goto=newpost Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:30:26 GMT 48 - French: 48 -> 53 I have a thorough understanding of the English Language course and am willing to...]]> Dear students and parents,

I offer tutoring and mentoring for the VCE subjects: English Language and French.

My scores for these subjects were as following:
- English Language: 45 -> 48
- French: 48 -> 53

I have a thorough understanding of the English Language course and am willing to help you understand any details that your teacher may have missed. You will be provided with notes that I compiled myself as well as some practice SACs. As this is a highly technical subject, it is important to understand the definitions and concepts involved. I will help you develop a greater understanding of the concepts covered so that you may achieve your goals. In addition, I will place an emphasis on essay-writing which is where most students lose their marks on the exam and help you to develop skills, as well as spontaneity and originality.

I received the French Subject Prize for 6 years consecutively in a highly competitive environment. Last year I was the overall winner of the Alliance Francaise Berthe Mouchette Competition, 1st prize for the oral component and 3rd prize for the writing. The previous year, I was the winner of the writing component. I can help with the following areas:
- grammar points
- reading comprehension
- listening comprehension
- essay-writing
- general conversation + detailed study work

If you want an example of what my work is like for French, please have a look at the VCAA assessment report for 2009 and read the creative essay!

For 1:1 tuition, my rates are $35/hour and $50 for 1 1/2 hours. For group tuition, I have a flat rate of $25h pp and $35pp. for 1h30.

If interested, please contact me at nelsonchum@gmail.com

Tuition will ONLY take place at Melbourne University (Parkville): it's quiet and private, in comparison to the State Library!

I look forward to meeting you and I promise that you won't be disappointed!

NOTE: I can no longer take any new students as my timetable is completely filled but I am now accepting expressions of interest for 2011 ! I'm likely to only accept groups of students (at least 2) next year. So if you can get a group of friend(s) together, I can offer you my dedicated services! ]]> VCE Tutoring nelsonpham http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=250426
