As a current teacher, I am an expert on all VCE English requirements. You can benefit from the knowledge of a teacher with more than twenty years' teaching experience and extensive study at tertiary level. By all means, just call me for an obligation-free chat first! But try not to leave contacting any tutor until the last moment. It's hard to have much effect then.
I do all tutoring at my home in Kew. (Melways 45 F4)
 
Located conveniently near Tram Route 24/48 along High Street at Kew Cemetery (Stop 37), and all bus routes that pass through the intersection of High Street and Harp Road in East Kew or Kilby/Willsmere Roads & Earl/Asquith Streets in Kew (158, 200-203, 205, 207, 302, 313, 315 & 609). Closest Bus Stops are at Kew Recreation Centre or on Asquith Road/Park Crescent
 
Also a leisurely trip from Cotham Road on Tram Route 109, if you go to Kew Junction and Tram Route 48 back along High Street. 
 
See http://www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au/ a trip planner to see how you would get to my place by public transport.
 
You can visit me as often or as occasionally as you like. Just call me, text or email to find out when I am free to see you and make a time to visit me.
 
Rates available on request. No contracts. No sign-up fees.

Teaches Yr 9-12 English at Xavier College (Kew)

Lectured for the State Library of Victoria and at The University of Melbourne for student groups on VCE English texts in preparation for exams
 
I make it my business to know the texts thoroughly, an area in which most other tutors are deficient, but which is a major part of the total assessment for Year 12 English.
