Thanks Eyeseeyou! Hope all is going well man

Q5 What is the biggest mistake you see commonly made? Well, perhaps the most common mistake is the misuse of the semicolon, lol. I don't want to overwork that point because it's not a huge deal, but it is definitely off putting (and that's for someone who doesn't really care hugely about...

Hi guys - Quick pragmatic note. I have been inundated with tutoring requests and queries lately, which is always good BUT, please note: 1. I only tutor online. This is for various reasons, most particularly because of the style of tutoring I find most effective for students and enjoy. Which...

Now for one more strategy question, which a student asked me last night.This student asked to remain anonymous which is absolutely his prerogative (as it is yours, should you choose to submit something and want to remain anonymous). Q4 What is the best way in approaching preparation for Module...

Hi guys, I thought for today I'd look at two shorter strategy related questions. Q3. What should I choose as my related texts? The answer to this question is emblematic of how you should approach any HSC question of which you are unsure. At the end of the day, you will be marked by one human...

Thanks for the feedback to those who emailed/msgd me. I was asked one question - which is basically a perennial question - that I'd like to focus on today: Q2 Should I preprepare my essays? There are a number of important ways to approach this question. The first is that it is dependent. It's...

So without further ado - let's begin. Q1 What is the single most important thing to get right in English Advanced? Although its satisfying (especially in quick skim) to get simple, distilled advice, usually to achieve well in something in life isn't so simple as getting one core thing right...

Hi guys, Sorry for the delay in putting the Advanced session through - I had an influx of student needs, and obviously current students come first. This break did, however, give me the idea to rethink the structure a bit. I have decided to do more of a slow-release Q and A to give students more...

Okay guys, Thanks again to all those who participated in sending me your questions through the week. I hope this has been helpful. As I have said throughout, if you have any further questions building on these, please post in the thread, referencing the question by number where relevant. If its...

Q10. Final Advice on Extension 2? I would distil my advice to: 1. Maintain the passion: If you get bored by your topic (which is not the same as being frustrated/tired by it/anxious) you aren't likely to sustain a very compelling MW, are you? Find a way to keep your insight into your area...

Q9. How much time to dedicate to Eng Ext 2, compared to other subjects? Like other questions of this nature, it's a lot like asking 'how long is a piece of string'? Generally, HSC rewards consistency, but equally - for me at least - juggling your subjects depending on which was the most...
