About Tony
Don't worry, I was also terrible at English. By the end of Year 11, I was ranked ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ต ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ญ๐ฑ๐ด.
In fact, I was doing so badly that I had to join extra morning classes for English mentoring.
But, by the end of Year 12, I had topped English, coming ๐ญ๐๐ in Trials AND overall in James Ruse.
***
25th August, 2025. James Ruse.
Ms Korch came in with the final marks.
I was praying. Praying that I would get above average.
Instead, I came 1st in English Yr 12.

๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ด๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐.
Every time I handed in an essay, comments like these were handed straight back to me. To be honest, I didnโt even know how to use this feedback โ I kept writing slop, praying to just scrape by.
I could never crack the top 25% or get an A-range mark. I still remember getting ready to leave without making eye contact so no one would ask about my mark.
Woah! I came 1st in English Yr 12!
"What? ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐บ ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ?? That dumbass?โ
"Bro, werenโt you always trash at English?"
That evening, I proudly put my exam paper on Mumโs desk.
Hey! Iโm Tony Chen, a James Ruse 2025 graduate, and I came ๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก (๐๐ Raw Internal).

Understanding your argument, revising drafts, and practicing questions.
But thatโs the same old feedback anyone will tell you. Thatโs why you need a guide whoโs made every wrong turn, and has the ability to discern what works best for you. This is what forms the foundation of my tutoring.

I do not offer in-person tuition. All lessons take place online (via Zoom).
