Who we are

What I love about tutoring is moving beyond conventional student-teacher dynamics into a more holistic, mentorship based relationship. This I feel, is what can really inspire a student to start learning for life. As a student of life myself, I am passionate about music and spirituality; both of which I love exploring with an open heart!

I study science at uni, and although English is not typically linked with Maths and Science, I understand the importance of developing strong English skills no matter what direction a student wishes to take. In my spare time I play a fair bit of sport and love watching Richmond play.

One of the things I enjoy most about tutoring is helping students gain an understanding of difficult content and working with them to achieve their goals, whether they have a passion for English or not. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing fiction, playing guitar and bass, and spending time with my friends.

The ability to build rapport with, and empower my students have been some of the major reasons why I enjoy tutoring. In my spare time, I like to read, muck around on my piano and guitar, and attempt to not burn down the kitchen – also known as ‘cooking’!

English has always been my passion, particularly creative writing. I enjoy working with students to brainstorm ideas deeper than plot and characters, and to decode what a text is communicating about human nature and society. I believe that strong English skills are not only valuable tools in the classroom but vital for surviving and excelling in this changing world.

My favourite thing about tutoring is finding the right approach for each student to help them discover the joy of understanding language and learning to use it effectively to achieve different things. When I’m not studying Linguistics, you can sometimes find me daydreaming in bookstores or totally immersed in fictional worlds.

I like to build confidence in my students by providing a supportive and non-judgemental environment for them to freely explore their ideas. I am passionate about life-long learning and hope my students are interested to learn after their school years. Outside of tutoring, I am studying a Master of Teaching (Secondary) with ACU, and I am dedicated to my pre-service training and committed to being a great secondary teacher!

My love for tutoring stems from my desire to foster voices of the next generation, typically those that often go unheard. This is something I became passionate about after studying Creative Writing at university. When I’m not tutoring or working, I unwind by playing a few hours of Overwatch with my best friends.

I have always had a keen interest in English as a subject, coupled with a passion for teaching. I love supporting students in their study goals and cultivating confidence regarding their individual language skills. In addition to my love of teaching, I am devoted to animal welfare and enjoy spending time with my dogs, Pablo and Radar.

It is my wholehearted belief that teaching is a stage of the learning process, rather than a generalised step for all to embark on. I think a tutoring relationship should be a product of mutual intrigue beholden to each person.

As someone who was tutored throughout high school, I’ve experienced first-hand what makes a great tutor standout. To me, seeing a student progress with their learning and academic skills is the most rewarding aspect of being a tutor. I love writing in my spare time; film and TV is a real passion of mine – hence my love for teaching others English!
