Hi everyone! My name is Aurora and I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Science Advanced Research at Monash University, majoring in Physics and Applied Mathematics. Alongside my STEM studies, I am greatly passionate about English and delving into the deeper meaning in literary works. Having achieved a Premier’s Award in English, authored VCE resources, and volunteered to lecture disadvantaged students, I am keen to empower all students to excel during VCE. Aside from tutoring, I enjoy composing and performing music as well as watching sci-fi movies. I’m more than happy to answer any questions and am excited to work with you!

Hey there! My name's Ethan, I graduated as the Dux of my school in 2022 with a study score of 50 in English, and now I'm studying a Bachelor of Computer Science at Monash University. The study of English can be an enjoyable and enriching experience, but I also understand that its subjective nature can make it feel intimidating. I'd love to help you see English as an approachable challenge, and employ you with strategies to be comfortable in the face of a difficult essay question, an open-ended creative task or a daunting presentation. I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your potential in English!

Hi, I'm Nathania and I'm in my second year of Medicine at Monash University. I graduated from Suzanne Cory High School in 2021 as Dux Proximus with an ATAR of 99.70 and Dux of English. Since graduating, I have had the privilege of tutoring English to students from a range of schools and backgrounds. Although it has been rewarding watching my students achieve their academic goals, the highlight has always been their immense boost in confidence when navigating the subject and VCE in general! I look forward to working with you, and best of luck for English this year!

Hey, my name’s Olivia! I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology online at the University of South Australia. I’m in love with reading and poetry, so am very excited to share (and hopefully spread) my passion for English with VCE students. Although terribly intimidating at first, I honestly believe that writing essays can be so much fun once you become friends with the material and requirements. When I'm not reading or writing, you’ll likely find me crocheting in a forest or jamming out on electric guitar. I can’t wait to work with you!

Hi! My name is William and I’m currently studying Pharmaceutical Science and Chemical Engineering at Monash University, having completed the VCE in 2019. Although I’m doing a very STEM-focused degree, I also love studying and teaching humanities subjects such as English. My hobbies include music and reading- I particularly enjoy the sci-fi and fantasy genres. I wish everyone all the best in English and the VCE this year, and if you see me in the office don’t hesitate to say hi!

Hi everyone! My name is Giorgia and I’m a fourth year student at the University of Melbourne, currently completing my Honours thesis in History. I'm passionate about teaching literature and the humanities and I've been working with Lindsey for a couple of years to help students achieve their personal study goals. Combining my knowledge of the humanities with literary analysis, I have written study guides which I hope will inspire students to embrace a deeper understanding of their texts and the worlds which they inhabit. I believe everyone can find a little something to enjoy in literary studies, and I hope to join you on that wonderful journey of discovery!

Hi, my name is Alice, and I’ve been a VCE English tutor for three years now. I’m incredibly passionate about English, and hope to inspire my students with the same enthusiasm in order to really help them shine! My goal is to create a safe learning environment where students feel free to express their ideas and develop complex insights into their texts in a way that regular classrooms often don’t allow for.

Hi, my name is Cindy Ha. I graduated in 2019 with a 98.35 ATAR and a raw 44 for EAL and I’m doing Bachelor of Commerce at Monash University. I am honored to be the recipient of Sir John & Monash International Scholarship for Excellence. During my VCE journey, I grew to enjoy EAL purely for the sake of learning it and honing skills from doing so, rather than the initial pursuit of good grades and high ATAR. I was able to love and enjoy the subject because I was inspired, encouraged, and fully supported by my teacher to be creative and be critical in my interpretation of literature pieces. T I’m looking forward to working with you and wish you all the best in your studies!

My name is Sofie Wilcox and I’m a third year student at the University of Melbourne, majoring in Psychology and Sociology. I have been tutoring VCE English and Psychology for almost 5 years, have published a study guide, curated a statewide curriculum for Year 10 English and have given holiday lectures to over 200 students. I have a deep passion for education and assisting students to reach goals along their academic journey. Being able to have the support of a tutor allowed me to excel in my studies, as I was the recipient of the LaTrobe Law School Excellence Award for being DUX of VCE Legal Studies two years in a row. One of my key values is compassion, and with my studies in Adolescent Psychology and volunteering at Lifeline, I take extra time and care with each student to check in with how they are feeling, particularly around exam time that is often riddled with stress.

Hi everyone! I’m Chloe and I graduated high school in 2022 with a raw EAL score of 49 and an ATAR of 99.10. Currently, I’m studying for a Bachelor of Commerce at Monash University. In the past, I have worked as a teaching assistant for an English centre and gathered a lot of experience in designing a unique learning environment for each group of individuals. As an EAL student, I always strived to create meanings around the lessons obtained from each text. I believe in applicability as a fundamental learning principle and I hope to inspire you to also explore different aspects of life through these different lenses.
