About Amir
I am a current Medical Student in Hobart, having been a student at Marryatville High School previously where I studied Chemistry (Achieved A grade band), Biology (Achieved A++ (Merit) grade band), Mathematical Methods (Achieved A grade band) and English Literary Studies (Achieved A++ (Merit) grade band); while also in a school choir and a school ensemble.
I achieved an adjusted ATAR or selection rank of 99.95 and a base ATAR of 98.60. But anyway all those numbers I don't think matter too much when you're talking about English. Yes, a lot of it is definitely inherent creativity and curiosity but I think English can definitely be taught especially when you come to appreciate it for the beautiful subject it is; after all, mastering language can unleash so much of any person's potential!
As for hobbies, I enjoy writing and reading, I'm pretty big on history, I love music (I play the violin), painting and embroidery, and I also like to volunteer when I can.

Writing and reading are fun.
They should be fun, really engaging activities to stimulate imagination and excite people. Who doesn't love making up their own creative world, or ranting about their opinions? That's all 'creative writing' and 'essays' really are.
I think if you want to learn, that's already half the battle. Everyone is amazing at English, they just don't know it. And that's because English has weird (and sometimes annoying) rules and styles and techniques, all of which can be confusing and difficult to use- but only if you don't understand them.
I would take an active and engaging approach to showing you how to master expressing what you already have: creativity, opinions, ideas.
I am also able to teach less conventional knowledge, such as that regarding current affairs, philosophical concepts, social theories and other humanities-related concepts which are largely not taught at school.
To truly be good at English after all one must broaden one's horizons!
Should I end on a metaphor? Nah, I'm not getting paid enough for that!
