Super Tutor
Leo is one of our best English tutors. High-quality profile, qualifications verified, organised and responsive to lesson requests, and appreciated by their students.
About Leo
I offer tutoring in essay writing, text response, and English literature analysis for students from Years 7 to university level. Each session is adapted to the student’s current focus — whether that’s:
• Planning and structuring an essay
• Responding to literary prompts
• Analyzing themes, character development, and language use
• Building strong introductions and thesis statements
• Understanding key literary devices and textual commentary
• English language pronunciation (Australian/British accents)
I use visual scaffolds, writing prompts, paragraph templates, and breakdown strategies to support students at different stages of the writing process. I also provide gentle feedback and encouragement to help students build their expression, voice and confidence. Typical sessions run for 45–60 minutes, with flexibility based on student needs. I offer both in-person and online sessions, and work well with students who benefit from structure, clarity, and step-by-step support.

Hi, I’m Leo — a literacy coordinator and tutor with experience supporting students from Years 7 to university in English, academic writing, and literary analysis. I also offer pronunciation support specialising in Australian/British accents.
In my current school-based role, I help students build confidence in essay structure, text commentary, and writing fluency across a wide range of English tasks. I also support university students with academic writing, argument development, and planning assignments.
I hold a Bachelor of Science and Arts, with a major in History and additional experience in humanities, literature, and structured writing support. My approach is differentiated, strengths-based, and inclusive, making it especially suited for students who are neurodiverse or overwhelmed by writing tasks.
I love helping students break down complex texts and prompts into their core components, develop clear written arguments, and grow their confidence as thinkers and writers.

I’ve known Leo since we were 10 years old. Leo is one of my closest, oldest and dearest friends. Leo’s a kind, friendly, honest and trustworthy person with strong morals and core values. He’s always been a keen learner and someone who loves to share his knowledge with others
Leo pays the greatest attention to detail and is very pedagogic. He also has a tremendous amount of patience and looks for alternative ways of explaining difficult concepts.
He always strives to help students achieve excellence.
Highly Recommended !I've always thought that anything "STEM" just wasn't for me until I started learning from Leo! I appreciate his positivity but also creativity when it comes to approaching topics that I personally find more challenging. It's funny how Leo's classes actually makes me excited to study! Can't recommend him enough!!
Leo is the most patient, conscientious, and understanding tutor. I always feel at ease asking him questions and motivated to continue learning after our sessions. I never hesitate to recommend him to my friends and classmates looking for extra help, thank you Leo!
