“English used to be really hard for me, and I didn’t like it very much. But Tom made it fun! We played games, read cool stories, and the stories helped me understand how to write better without it feeling boring. English is now one of my favourite subjects.”
Mia T - Year 7 student 2024
Testimonials
“Before I started tutoring with Tom, I was really struggling to stay confident during my HSC year. I understood the content, but I couldn’t quite translate that into strong exam results. Working with Tom completely changed that. He didn’t just explain the material, he helped me understand how to think like the examiners, how to structure my essays, and how to manage my time effectively. Every lesson was tailored to what I needed most, and I always left feeling more confident and motivated. Thanks to his support, I improved my marks dramatically and actually enjoyed learning again. I ended up achieving results I never thought were possible. I honestly couldn’t have done it without such a knowledgeable and supportive tutor.”
Rachel H - HSC Advanced 2020
“I used to find Module A and T.S. Eliot’s poems really confusing. The language was so hard to understand, and I never knew what the questions were really asking. Tom helped me break everything down and actually see the meaning behind Eliot’s ideas. Tom showed me how to link the poems to the other text and write proper comparative essays. After a few weeks, everything started to make sense, and I felt way more confident in English. I ended up doing much better than I expected in my HSC.”
Chris R - HSC Advanced 2022
“Before I started with Tom, I found English really stressful. I didn’t know how to write good persuasive pieces or short stories, and I’d always run out of ideas. Tom explained things in a way that actually made sense and showed me how to plan my writing properly. After a few weeks, my marks improved, and I became a lot more comfortable with my writing. Now I don’t freak out when we get a writing task - I actually kind of enjoy it.”

How I Work
Initial Consultation
When you email me via my contact form, I'll give you a call so we can book a time to discuss your goals.
How I Teach
I enable students from Year 7 through to Year 12 Advanced to feel confident in English by breaking things down clearly and by making texts come to life. Together, we build the technical skills for strong essays and exams, while also digging deeper to find meaning and relevance in what they’re studying. Whether it’s developing strong foundations in the early years or mastering HSC and Advanced English analysis and essay writing, my goal is to make English feel less stressful and more rewarding — helping every student discover how to think, write, and achieve at their best.
Interactive
Specialising in comprehensively covering all aspects of the HSC is my superpower. Learning the English language is not about memorising; it's about engaging with the language. I incorporate activities and culturally relevant examples to enhance learning.
