About the lesson

Hello! I am a secondary teacher of over three decades' experience, specialising in VCE English. I work with students who are following both traditional school pathways and home-schooling. I am friendly and approachable, and my students have always commended my amiability, dedication, kindness and generosity in helping them to find academic success, wellbeing, and a deeper appreciation of the ideas they are curious about.

I offer both face-to-face and remote-learning options (via Zoom and Google-docs); therefore, students do not need to feel constrained by location. I can help with homework; units of study; deeper analysis and revision of set texts; exam practice; mentoring on assignments and essays; revision of school curriculum; and practising grammar and essay-writing - in single or ongoing sessions - and am keen for students to bring the tasks they are working on so that we can build unique skills together. (Ask me about a no-obligation, complimentary 30-min “meet-and-greet" session to see if we're a good tutoring match!)

I mark practice essays and exam papers, offering extensive feedback and conferencing. I also write curriculum programs for home-schooling students on various English topics, such as set texts; persuasive and creative writing; and analysis of argument and language. I have some limited availability for "on the spot" (sudden) tutoring for those who require immediate, one-off assistance with an English quandary, via Zoom ... Just ask me: I might be available RIGHT NOW!

I love creative writing and reading and am always up for a good book discussion! (Bonus points if the book has an accompanying film!)

______________________________________________________________

**2026 NO LONGER AVAILABLE! After-school and evening spaces are currently FULL; similarly, day-time spaces (to suit students’ school-timetabled “free-study” periods) are also now FULL (of course, changes can occur: it’s difficult to predict if and when vacancies may suddenly appear). The kindness of my families sharing word-of-mouth recommendations usually fills my diary by September!

**(Limited) ON THE SPOT (sudden) tutoring (some evening, (rare!) weekend, and daytime slots - suitable for students with study lessons/free periods).

**STAND-BY (waitlist) available for last-minute cancellations.

**Day-time options available for HOME-SCHOOLERS (however, please note spaces are FULL for 2026).

**(Limited) Preparation for SCHOLARSHIP TESTS (waitlist capacity only, as all ongoing appointment times are FULL for 2026).

**2027 APPLICATIONS welcome (yes, already! Based on a decade of personal experience, these spaces will book out by the end of Term 3! Please note that 6 enrolments for 2027 are already confirmed).

This first lesson offered with Tanya will allow you to get to know each other and clearly specify your needs for your next lessons.

30mins

Details

AVAILABILITY:
• Monday-Thursday, 8am-8pm
Face-to-face in East Geelong (in the estate opposite Eastern Park) or via Zoom.
(NB: Spaces for 2026 are currently FULL unless unexpected cancellations emerge. 2027 applications are now invited.)

---

• TRAVEL COST = Face-to-face students usually come to me (in East Geelong); online students (both those local to the greater Geelong area and from wider regions, including Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, and China) connect via Zoom (and Google-docs). I charge a TRAVEL-FEE of $10.00/km (round trip, from my driveway to yours) to work at the student's place or other preferred location; however, this option is rarely available, as travel-time precludes my ability to provide extensive teaching time.

---

• Complimentary 30-min "meet-&-greet" first session (non-teaching), incorporating goal-setting, planning and a strategy for moving forward.
