Hey guys.

I have started tutoring new year eleven students going into year 12. I am still working part-time at Pryor Tzannes & Wallice Solicitors and studying full-time at UNSW for combined commerce and law. However, as my current year 12 students finish off their studies, i'm starting to have more time and i'll be able to take on more new students.

My details are still the same essentially (see above or link below):

Credentials: Dux of Fort Street (oldest high school/selective school in Australia), Premiers Award, very high marks and pretty silly personality.

I have gathered an enormous amount of experience because I have taught all up, around 40+ different students in the last 12 months from a large variety of schools ranging from Fort Street to James Ruse to Cheltnam.

If you're interested, please PM me or call me on 0410343187 without hesitation and we can have a talk about how I can help you out.

It'd be great to hear from you guys.

- James.

(GENERAL INTRODUCTION)

Hi, my name is James (Xiao Fei) Hu from Fort Street High School.

Phone: 9745 6946
Mobile: 0410343187
Email: legal_jameshu@hotmail.com (feel free to add me to MSN for a chat)
Amount of experience: 12 months and 40+ students.
Cost: $35 per hour for one on one. $25 per hour for 1 on 2 and $20 for 1 on 3.


I will provide all notes, past papers and the best information available for economics and english so you don't waste time copying textbooks and can focus on actually learning.

Most importantly, i will introduce you to A NEW AND UNIQUE WAY OF THINKING THAT SETS YOU APART FROM THE REST. I have been through most of Sydney's major tutoring services throughout my life and my final private english tutor held a Masters degree in english literature from USYD and is a close friend of the top Jane Austen and Shakespeare critics in Australia as well as other academics and authors like David Williamson (Author of the 3U english play Dead White Males.

My tutoring strategy aims to allow you to meet the highest expectations of the subject rubrics while using minimum time and effort in the process. This will allow you to focus more upon other subjects or simply to relax. My strategy thus first provides you with the necessary tools to achieve academic success within the various subjects. After this, the focus will be upon a tactical approach towards any texts and information that places them within a broader conceptual and contextual framework. This will allow you to reduce the quantity of material that needs to be studied by allowing you to recognise and filter only the most relevent information and combining them into coherent arguments or solutions.

FINAL HSC SCORES:

Economics: 97

English Advanced: 92 (this is after i pretty much didn't do the 5 marker in Q1 so this mark doesn't reflect the true quality of my material but does reflect my poor in-exam time management )

Eng Ext. 1 : 48/50

Eng Ext. 2: 49/50

Mathematics: 96

Mathematics Ext. 1: hahaha.

Modern History: 94

History Extension: hahaha.

UAI: 99.5 and DUX OF FORT STREET HIGH SCHOOL 2005




The rate is flexible depending on if you come in groups. For example, one group of 3 i am tutoring at $15 an hour. But be mindful that the more people there is, then the progress is potentially slower.

I specialise mainly in English (2, 3 and guidance for 4U) and Economics. I can gurantee that you will not find a much better tutor at my price in these subjects.

For 2U, it doesn't matter what text you're studying for journeys. I can tutor you for all. For the modules, i'd be tutoring Emma/Clueless, King Lear and Frontline.
For 3U, I tutor postmodernism.

Those interested in Modern History must be mindful that my tutoring strategy here is more focused on strategy than content in this subject. However, i think strategy in Modern History is extremely important.

Furthermore, while i do offer mathematics tuition, i'd recommend that you try other people first because there is most likely more skilled people. I know some friends who i could recommend. However, i have many past papers and very very good summary booklets for each topic in both 2U and 3U that are a combination of clear theory and practise questions collected from a range of past papers/school papers/textbooks like cambridge etc. These are for sale.

Also, my History Extension mark wasn't flash but i do have very good notes on both Q1 and Appeasement for Q2 (there was a leak form the marking centre that apparently someone who mentioned dilks and overy in Q2 Appeasement got full marks in tha tquestion. THat person is me Which also means i almost failed Q1 lol). Pity i didn't study them except on the day before So yes, the notes are on sale.


So in conclusion, if you're one of those people that can't help bludging and needs maxmimum strategy to help you get down the content within minimum time frames, i think i'll be espicially helpful to you.


I have acquired enormous experience and I can confidently say that I will be able to offer you maximum value for your money and more.

I also have referees (my current students and school teachers) available on request for any interested people to contact should they want an indication of my competence as a tutor and as a person in general.


I live in Burwood but i'm willing to travel to most places not too far away to do the tutoring. Currently, i tutor mostly at Strathfield and city or in other people's houses. As long as i don't have to travel so far that i end up asking "are we there yet?"

I hope to hear from more enthusiastic students soon =)

I'm just a PM and a couple of miles away!!

What can I say. A solid tutor who has a no bullshit approach. In economics and english, he will be able to explain concepts and ideas in an understandable way. If you need help at all or just need to cram, I suggest you give him a call. He will be able to cover a lot of information in one or two lessons.

Bring Wicked Wings.

By the way, if any of this year's year 12's are stressing big time just weeks before the exams, I can do crash courses for eco and english.

These crash courses will basically be revision lessons where i bottle up basically all the essential things you need to know at the rate of around 2 hours or less (standard lesson) for each topic for economics or each module for english.

Contact me immediately if you're interested. It appeared to work very well for students before the trials.

If you are willing to tutor in a group with other students, please indicate so and prices and conditions can be further negotiated.

Remember if you bring 1-2 people along with you, we can negotiate lower per hour rates. Although keep in mind, its effectiveness for you might be affected.
