I have been teaching English since 1992 in Victorian and NSW State and Independent Schools. I taught the new HSC Standard course in 2019. I am also a NAPLAN marker so have marked thousands of essays and creative texts over years. My experience and knowledge of the syllabus is excellent and I can steer students in the right direction to understand the requirements of the course.

I have been marking NAPLAN as a senior expert marker since 2014.

I have been teaching the NAPLAN reading comprehension since 2012. I have access to all the past papers and marks for these.

I have been marking the Writing Paper as a senior marker in Sydney since 2014.

I have taught Drama since 1992 in Victoria and NSW. I have a special interest in Drama and have performed, directed and assisted in producing over 35 plays for amateur and professional groups. I am a writer and actor with an interest in classic and modern Drama. I am preparing myself for a role in the Short and Sweet festival with an award winning theatre group.

I have been teaching my Standard class alongside the Advanced teacher and am aware of what it takes to do this course. I am aware of most of the prescribed texts and will help you to analyse these and write intelligent responses. I am very good at proof reading after having read thousands of essays. I have helped students achieve results in the top 10% of the state.

I taught the new HSC English Standard Course in 2019 . I specialise in getting students ready for exams by producing the personal best work and continually improving on this. Many of my students achieved marks are in the top 20% percentile band.

I started teaching the English Studies Preliminary course in 2019. There is a lot of reading and writing to do in this course but with consistent effort my students were able to use the skills I taught them to do well in exams.

I have not taught extension English but am aware of the Project based learning that this course entails. I offer valuable feedback to students and help them to do their personal best to get through the this course and do their personal best work.
