Experienced English and Humanities Tutor based in Epping (weekdays) and Wandong (weekends). I specialise in building confidence and catering to a student's personal learning style.

Methodology

Hi, I'm Emma! I believe that studying shouldn't have to be a chore and writing an essay shouldn't give you grey hairs! Learning should be all about discovering strategies and techniques which are a good fit for you, are catered to your needs and utilise your own unique set of talents.

I provide customised support which is perfect for those who are commencing VCE or university and struggle to write essays, take in large amounts of information, sit exams or present to an audience. I'd love to show you the ropes of referencing and studying effectively, as well as a few very helpful little tricks and resources I've picked up along the way.

I am currently completing a Bachelor of Arts at Latrobe University, specialising in anthropology and sociology. I have studied a diverse range of subjects in university and VCE, including psychology, history, studio art, philosophy, and literature.

If you were looking for support in VCE English, humanities based subjects, or essay writing and study techniques, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Background

I have been working as a freelance tutor in the area since the end of 2017.

My passion is to make education accessible and exciting for students who feel under-confident or alienated in a classroom setting. My approach is inspired by John Marsden and Ken Robsinson, who ignited a vision in me to contribute to a world where students can learn in diverse and dynamic ways.
