Tutoring? (1 Viewer)

[MiuMiu]

Can anyone tell me if there is any point getting an English tutor. Im not crap at it, its just my teacher is kinda vague at times and we don't get much feedback. I was just wondering if anyone has one for Advanced English and whether they're worthwhile?

Neither do I, but "vague at times" and "little feedback" suggest that Year12 has lost confidence in the teacher.

I suggest getting a tutor if you're worried, if you find you don't need one you can always stop. HSC English is confusing and feedback is essential. I got diffrent opinions within my own school's end dep.

I mean I love my teacher she is sort of like a big sis at times but as a TEACHER, I dunno, is sort of far away and doesn't tell us what we are doing right/wrong when she marks our work just gives us a mark and thats it, and Id like someone (preferably someone who is teaching at the moment) to be able to do that for me.

Feel like paying me? I'll tutor you

Probably what you need to figure out is what aspect of the syllabus you don't understand or need assistance with.. if it's theory (the cuorse material), you may be able to work on it by talking with friends or whatever (rather than paying $20+/hr for the same thing). If it's something more complex, such as vocabulary or structuring essays, a tutor might be able to help. Look for one who's willing to adapt to YOUR understanding of the syllabus, rather than someone who's just shovelling the same crap at you that your teacher is!

hey,
i got 2 terms of english tutoring just cos my teacher wasn't exactly the best and I never got much attention in class. I live in castle hill, and got tutoring from North Shore, which was held at my high school on Sat mornings. there was about 6 of us in a class, it was excellent, and the course we did for change was great. you should try them out if ur interested. I believe North Shore has a few different centers for turtoring on Saturdays.

Yes, the main centre is in Chatswood
north shore is realli good for english i reckon, but I've never gone there - I acquired their notes off someone and they were better than them Excel study guides for individual texts
