Experience
Hello, my name is Penny Houpis and I am a third year Arts student at the University of Melbourne with two years experience in tutoring. I graduated high school DUX of my year and am now on a first class honours average. Over the past two years I have helped several students flourish in VCE English by improving their skills and attitude towards the daunting task of composing a coherent and intelligent essay. - FOR PARENTS: whose children begin or have begun VCE, I'm sure you are aware that the ATAR is 50% your child's English score. Therefore, a stable English score is paramount in order to obtain the best ATAR you know your child is capable of. If you know that essay writing has been your child's weakness, it is not too late to begin improving. - FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: the transition from high school to university can be tough and the expectations your tutors and lecturers have are completely different from the high school style essay. If you are struggling to meet your desired grade it is not too late to turn it around by having a fresh pair of eyes go over your work and help you further break down a challenging topic. WITH THE ESSAY TOPIC THAT STUDENTS RECEIVE (OR HAVE RECEIVED FOR THE HOLIDAYS) I BREAK DOWN THE TOPIC PIECE BY PIECE, AND ENGAGE MY STUDENTS TO CRITICALLY THINK AND DEVELOP CONCEPTS THAT EXCEED THAT OF THE AVERAGE STUDENT. THROUGH THIS, STUDENTS DEVELOP THE CONFIDENCE AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE TO ROUTINELY TACKLE A WIDE RANGE OF ESSAYS.
