Update 3/2/15: I have very few places left for this term, so be quick!

Hey guys!

I'm Robbie, and I am offering my services as a specialist English tutor. I graduated as Dux of Knox Grammar School in 2014 with an ATAR of 99.95 and 3 state ranks.

98 in English Advanced (7th in the State)

50 in English Extension 1 (7th in the State)

50 in English Extension 2 (5th in the State)


I'm extremely passionate about English, and provide individually tailored lessons in HSC Advanced English and Ext I/Ext II courses. I enable students to master the art of writing a full-mark essay, create a creative writing piece readily adaptable to any HSC stimulus, and add unique textual insights or related texts that give you an edge. My short story/poetry hybrid piece for my Extension II major work was nominated for the Young Writers Showcase, so I'm also available to mentor and tutor this subject in either the creative or critical disciplines.

I prefer to be invested in the people I tutor and work with them throughout the year, so I'm only taking on a small amount of students this year. That way I can increase the hours and attention I give them.

If you don't live close to the north shore, I also offer an online essay editing/feedback service. :) I specialise in highlighting how you can adapt a particular essay to any question or rubric module, and the best way to go about that during an exam. I charge $25 per English Advanced essay/creative or Modern History essay, and $30 per English Extension 1 Essay.

More info: Internally, I came first in English Advanced, English Extension I, English Extension II, Modern History and Economics; receiving 105/105 in my English Advanced Trial. I achieved a Band 6 in all 12 units, including Maths Extension 1 & 2.

Do you tutor other subjects?

Yep! I received a 96 in Economics (with a raw mark of 94/100). I'm confident I can help you master the syllabus.

I've also represented Australia in public speaking and debating, (state winner of Legacy Public Speaking; winner of Lawrence Campbell) and I've been told I'm great at communicating complex ideas. I am a public speaking coach, and will help you to nail the speech-writing and all-important manner aspects of the English course.

Although I'm setting this up as a specialised English service, I also provide tutoring in Maths (up to Extension 2); Modern History; Economics; and personal tuition for public speaking/debating. Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding your tutoring needs. I'll let you know if I don't feel qualified to help you out in a particular area (read: science).


PM or email (preferable) for further details. :)


Where?

I tutor at my home; a 5-10 minute walk away from Pymble station. I'm also happy to tutor at Gordon library.

Robbie and I went to the same school and I'd like to add how much of an insanely big help he was during my time there. I've literally never met anyone as talented at English as Robbie. Any time he said something in class, everyone would write it down. While Rob is clearly very intelligent, it was his approachable personality that made me come to him for assistance when there was a concept I didn't understand. Not only that, but Robbie was able to help me understand problems in a concise and easy to digest manner, allowing me to nail those hard to grasp concepts - in which I was ultimately able to achieve beyond the results I needed!

Hey Robbie, are you still offering tutoring for the 2016 HSC cohort?
