Information about Madeline - Perth tutor

Personal Description:

I graduated from high school in 2015 as the DUX of my school (SA), with two merits, being in English and Music Performance. I have always been a highly driven and determined student, with a love for essay writing. In 2019, I graduated from my Bachelor's degree in Music Theatre, and have since been working in my chosen field. I am an easy-going and approachable person, with patience and compassion for others.

Tuition Experience:

I have, in the past, tutored a first year university student in their double degree. I successfully aided with essay writing and in the building of study skills, and as a result this student's improvements were reflected in their grades.

My primary job in the last 18 months entailed working with people under the age of 18, so I believe I am well equipped with the necessary skills to communicate clearly, and understand the needs of younger students. Additionally, I have also worked in schools as part of an educational and interactive theatre group, where I had to work quickly and efficiently to break down age-gap barriers and cultivate relationships.

Tutoring Approach:

My teaching style involves guiding students to the answer, rather than giving it to them. For example, I will not re-write or co-author essays if there are amendments to be made, but rather highlight problematic areas and encourage a discussion that leads to more in-depth reflection on the student's part. I believe there is a sense of accomplishment if the student feels they got there on their own, as opposed to me just telling them what to say.

I like to focus on structure, and breaking down concepts and ideas into clear and concise points that are east to digest.
