Hi guys, Thanks for the positive feedback. I have decided to run the Q and A session, [B]in a new thread, this Wednesday, 16 March. My first priority will be to answer questions sent to me prior to the night, so please PM if you would like to ensure your question is answered. If relevant, I may...

Below is a shout out for Eng Adv. However, if there is enough interest, I would be happy to run a similar session for Extension 2, as I know this is a confusing and difficult time where you are trying to focus your MWs. Please PM me or like this post if you'd like a specialised Eng Ext 2 Q...

Hi all, In the wake of so many questions and anxieties concerning HSC English forwarded to me this year, I've decided I will run (possibly in conjunction with a good friend and highly experienced English tutor) a free 1 hour interactive Q and A online. I think this might help quell some...

no worries - its definitely possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. As per the above spiel, to know your texts well enough to effectively grasp their essence for your analysis, its advisable to have read them - otherwise your answers may seem wooden/contrived e.t.c. However, anything is possible...

Hi guys Just a quick piece of advice based on a question I have been asked a lot lately (seemingly more this year than usual) about whether and to what extent you should preprepare and rote learn your essay answers: The short answer is it really depends on the individual. I think both ends of...

Hi eyeseeyou - thanks for your question, I think there are two elements to the 'system' that is HSC English. The fairer part is the highly detailed and accessible rubric which shows you exactly what kind of analysis, aspects of your texts, techniques etc you need to gain each band. The...

English extension 2 tutoring, advice Hi guys, I am an experienced tutor and am currently full for T1 with English students. Although I have had a huge increase in Eng Adv and Extension students, I still have more spaces for my favourite subject Extension 2. I got a (top end of spectrum)...

Just a quick one - I have had a lot of requests lately for face-to-face tutoring. While I recognise this can be an effective way for some students to learn, I prefer to tutor online, using skype. This affords my students the comfort of their own space, flexibility and means we can work together...

Hi guys, There is a lot of garbage out there about English, how its moderated and marked, what you need to do, what you need to read etc. The colleges are incredibly cynical and waste your time and money with formulaic 'syllabuses' and more stuff like school. They are, however, right about one...

A good tutor should be around 35 - it is rare to get a professional for less than that. Thats my rate - I think its fair to me (what I'd get market for other services) and to you (not exorbitant). If you're still looking for a tutor let me know, I have considerable experience in getting students...
