As a current teacher, I am an expert on all VCE English requirements. You can benefit from the knowledge of a teacher with 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 Cricket Ground (Stop 38), 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).

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.

You can visit me as often or as occasionally as you like. Just call me 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.
