About me

Hi I'm Siobhan and I am offering tutoring for students in Years 7–12 across all levels of English, including Advanced, Extension 1 and Extension 2.

I am a qualified English teacher with over 17 years of classroom experience, across the UK, Ireland and now Sydney. I have a Master’s degree in Communications and know exactly what HSC markers are looking for, and how to get students there.

I specialise in essay writing, close textual analysis, exam preparation, structuring study notes, unpacking difficult texts and concepts, and building effective revision habits that work!

Based in Forestville, I offer face to face lessons either in my home, yours or the local library. I only have a couple of spots remaining for the rest of this term. Please send me a message to arrange a free consultation to see how I can help your child.

Testimonials

I've had the privilege of working closely with families across the Northern Beaches. Here's what some of them have to say...

I cannot recommend Siobhan highly enough. When I first started working with her during my HSC, my English grades were sitting around the C range. Through her guidance, encouragement, and incredibly effective teaching methods, I was able to improve my results to high Bs and As.

What set her apart was her ability to explain complex concepts clearly, provide detailed and constructive feedback, and help me develop the confidence to express my ideas effectively in both essays and exams. She genuinely cared about my progress and always went above and beyond to ensure I understood the material and could perform at my best.

Thanks to her support and expertise, I achieved an ATAR of 94.6, something I am incredibly proud of and would not have been able to accomplish without her help. If you’re looking for an English tutor who is knowledgeable, dedicated, supportive, and truly invested in her students’ success, I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Thank you for all your help and for making such a positive impact on my HSC journey!
