About Tony
Don't worry, I was also terrible at English. By the end of Year 11, I was ranked 𝟭𝟮𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝟭𝟱𝟴.
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 𝟭𝘀𝘁 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.
𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀.
𝗩𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.
Every time I handed in an essay, comments like these were handed straight back to me. To be honest, I didn’t even know how to use this feedback – 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? 𝘛𝘰𝘯𝘺 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘯?? That dumbass?”
"Bro, weren’t you always trash at English?"
That evening, I proudly put my exam paper on Mum’s desk.
Hey! I’m Tony Chen, a James Ruse 2025 graduate, and I came 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 (𝟗𝟖 Raw Internal).
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩?
Understanding your argument, revising drafts, and practicing questions.
But that’s the same old feedback anyone will tell you. That’s why you need a guide who’s made every wrong turn, and has the ability to discern what works best for you. This is what forms the foundation of my tutoring.

At school, you're confused, have no-one to ask questions, and are going to lose marks in exams.
I teach differently.
️ 𝟭-𝟭 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽. In class, I go through the content to get you ahead. Afterclass, I'll help you 1-1 with questions, school work, or to review your assessment. No more getting stuck for hours.
️ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀. You’ll get access to critical text notes, wider reading summaries, and annotated essay examples showing exactly what (and what not) to do.
️ 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Imagine getting a bank of questions that are as hard as the real exam. Every possible question and curveball, all in one place. And they had fully worked essay plans.
️ 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀. Your learning style dictates my teaching style. I structure every lesson around what you want to achieve, adjusting my approach so it works perfectly for you.
