Highly recommend this guy for english tutoring!! He has provided extensive knowledge on prescribed and related texts, improved the quality of my essays and creative through detailed feedback and explained detailed ways of molding essays into a variety of essay questions. His way of explaining concepts and techniques in a clear and logical way greatly improved my understanding of the texts, making it much easier to write and adapt my essays.
Thanks Si. I'm pleased that you found tutoring to be of a high standard. Hope your exams have been going well and I hope you get into the course of your desire.

A great tutor helped me tremendously throughout year 11 and 12 and I received great marks due to his patients and help. Would highly recommend.

I don't have any patients but all jokes aside I'm happy you found tutoring to be helpful. Wish you the best with uni work.

Highly recommend Roy for English tutoring, especially as the english syllabus has been changed. He has an immeasurable knowledge of prescribed and related texts. There was 1 text he was not very familiar with but he still helped me with my essays and how to word particular phases. He gave detailed feedback on how to improve my essays and creatives but also asked many questions in order to make you understand the texts and the analysis better. Although there were many misunderstandings and some lessons were cancelled, he would always have the lesson asap, and if you were unavailable in real life, he was able to do Skype lessons which i found very helpful during trial and HSC periods, or if i just needed someone to check my writing. I wouldn't have been able to do as well in English as I did without his help!

Yes, I do still provide English tuition. I tried to PM you but I think your account settings prevent me from being able to do so. Perhaps try emailing me on a.roy.93@hotmail.com or you can call me on 0431716069 and I'll be happy to offer details and answer more questions that might come up along the way.
So I just did the HSC this year and did surprisingly well, getting a 95 in advanced which I could never have imagined. As a guinea pig of the new syllabus, I can say that you can and probably should memorise/pre-prepare an essay for the actual HSC, but just be prepared to be flexible and creative in changing it to fit around the question.
I would highly recommend him as a tutor because you can tell that he enjoys the subject (who else would read Great Expectations for fun in like primary school) and it really shows in the way he teaches, how clearly and eloquently he communicates his ideas which made English lessons a little more interesting and less the bane of my existence. In particular, I really appreciated the way he would logically work through an argument, laying out the bare bones of the paragraph like 'you need a quote to show A, which leads onto B to finally show C etc.' This made the logical progression of the argument very clear and so instead of being confusing or repeating myself, it allowed me to write an argument that built up on an idea and kept moving.
However, I gotta say that sometimes he's a little flaky. I remember in the few days before my first HSC assessment I had made some edits to an essay and asked him to look over it and he said he would. But he ended up sending me his feedback in the period before the exam and I had to basically rush to memorise his suggestions/changes. At other times, he would ask to change the lesson with very little notice like an hour before we had planned, which can be a little frustrating.
But overall, 10/10 would do again

Highly recommend Roy. With his tutoring, I jumped 120 ranks from year 11 to year 12, with a final score of 94 (96 exam mark) in English advanced. Roy followed a methodical approach and goes through step by step through what is required to achieve a high mark in English. This ensured that I didn't waste the limited time I had throughout my HSC year giving me more time for my other subjects. His teaching is always clear and directly to the point, leaving little room for doubt. That being said, there were a few times he was late, and a few instances where lessons had to be canceled or rescheduled. Also at times, the background noise of Parramatta library was a little distracting, although this was not Roy's fault. However, if you want to get a band 6 in English, definitely go to this guy.

Thank you for taking the time to offer a well-balanced and honest review and it was truly enjoyable tutoring both of you. I particularly appreciate the criticism because feedback that isn't honest is worthless and I do apologise for the occasional inconvenience caused. Nonetheless, I am very happy that both of you found my help to be worthwhile and that your marks exceeded your expectations. Hopefully you make the most of the holidays and good luck with your respective courses!
Thank you, Shawn. Enjoy your holidays and good luck with uni!

It's very hard to help students unless they are dedicated and so most of the credit goes to them. That being said, thank you so much for the kind words.
Just curious what school did you go to and from what schools do your students usually come from?
