Jessica Joan Graham Private Tutoring

Gosh, it's nearly the end of the year! Hopefully you're all enjoying the wind-down of the academic component of the year, as we gear up for the holiday season and everything that comes with it.

If you're starting to think about your future study plans, now is the time to secure lessons with tutors, before their availability for 2023 fills up. My schedule is currently full for the school terms in 2023, but January holiday lessons are still available, so please get in touch. From February, I will be based in Montmorency, though Zoom lessons will forever be available.

It’s the last day of the Spring holidays, which often means our thoughts are turning to the end-of-year assessment season, and how we can best use our time to support future success and satisfaction in school.

Although my tutoring schedule is likely full for 2023 and the waiting list for 2024 is filling up, I do have some former students who are now experienced tutors, and can help you build great foundations in both primary and secondary school.

Paige Joustra studied VCE Drama and Literature with me in 2015, and is now a professional writer, actress and tutor. She offers in-home tutorials in Essendon and online, and specialises in primary literacy skills, as well as Speech & Drama. She has some current availability for new students, and you can get in touch via her profile on TutorFinder: https://www.tutorfinder.com.au/tutors/detail.php?TutorID=113385

Amy Tu studied English and VCE English Language with me from 2018-2021, and is now on her way to becoming a medical professional after earning exceptional results in all of her subjects. She specialises in tutoring English Language in Burwood. She had a waiting list open for 2023, so please get in touch with me if you would like her contact details.

All the best for Term 4!

Melbourne Experienced primary tutor in English & Drama + Screen Acting Coach. I am a private tutor in English & Drama for primary and early high school students (prep - year 8). Years of 1-on-1 coaching have given me the ability to tailor lessons to each individual student's needs. My goal has always been to ignite a love for academics while we build...

Yes, learning is somewhat disrupted right now - and that's ok. Have a look at how academic performance has (not) been impacted by crisis in the past:

After the Christchurch quake, students missed a whole term. Their results are a good lesson for Australia What has happened to students who have missed months of school because of natural disasters or laps around Australia?

We know that there’s a lot of confusion and misinformation with the COVID-19 disruptions to your school year. To 2020 Victorian Year 12s, your families and loved ones, here is our commitment to you:

• We will help you reach your goals for tertiary study.
• We will keep you updated on any changes to our policies, dates and procedures for the year.
• We will provide resources that will help you get the best out of your VTAC application.
• We will continue to guide your schools, Principals and teachers in giving you the best advice.
• We will calculate your ATAR so you can be fairly considered for course entry.
• We will keep you abreast of other pathways into further study – it’s not always about your ATAR!

What we ask of you:
• Keep moving towards your goals.
• If your studies have been disrupted – and we know that’s most of you – apply for SEAS, our special consideration scheme, when applications open in August. It’s a program designed to compensate for educational disadvantage - applying will help you get into a course you want.
• If you’re unsure about your options for further study next year, don’t hesitate to contact us, your school careers advisor, or the universities, TAFEs and tertiary institutions that interest you.
• Stay in contact with your family, friends and loved ones.
• Keep in mind that there are other pathways into further study, that ATAR is just one method of entry.
• Remember to reach out for support if you need it. Whether it’s from your school, friends or loved ones, or even from excellent organisations like headspace, Kids Helpline Official or Beyond Blue. There are people who care and want to help you.

We’re in this together. We’ll continue to update you via social media and also our COVID-19 page: http://vtac.edu.au/update-covid-19.html

I'm so proud of all my Year 12s this year, having faced the challenges of their final year of secondary school. With tomorrow's English Language Exam marking the finale for my seniors this year, it’s a great time to reflect on how far all of you have come and how each step of learning along the way played a role in getting you to your current skill level.

It's never too early to hone those skills so you can ride your way through the later years of school with ease, secure in the knowledge that your foundational skills can be relied upon.

We're at the end of the VCE English & Performing Arts exam season, with English Language taking its final bow tomorrow afternoon. This means that tutorial times are now available for new students as my senior jet away into graduation!

As updated regularly on http://www.tutorfinder.com.au/tutor/jessicagraham.php, my current availability includes:

Mondays between 3:30pm-7:30pm
Tuesdays at 4:45pm

If you would like to join the waiting list for other timeslots, or would like to be contacted when one-off lesson times arise each week, please email me.

Lessons are also available during the school day. I encourage daytime lessons for senior students with free periods.

I hope everyone's exams have gone or are going well and that you are all proud of your efforts!

Term 2 is here and the weeks are already whizzing past! I hope everyone is chewing down on enticing curriculum and not feeling like the course is leaving you behind. If you ARE drowning and anxiety about your workload is affecting you, please talk to your teachers and/or get a tutor!

Alas, I am still fully booked, but my waiting list members have all been able to see me somewhat frequently, so please do get in touch if you'd like to know when available times pop up.

In the meantime, English Language kids in particular might like to read this article, and think carefully able how language can demonstrate not only sexist attitudes, but also other forms of discrimination...

How January has flown! I hope you have all had a fun and productive break, getting on top of your reading and preparatory tasks if you were set any, so the year can start with minimal stress and rush.

If you and/or a student you know is looking for support this year, keep an eye on http://www.tutorfinder.com.au/tutor/jessicagraham.php in case times open up for sessions with me.

I hope the school year starts smoothly for you and your family, and you delight in watching your skills grow!

Trying to get ahead on your 2016 academic studies? Now is the time to book January tutorials with me, especially since I am now fully booked for the school year (unless you can come for lessons during the school day). I am offering January tutorials Tues-Thurs each week, with specific availability updated regularly on TutorFinder: http://www.tutorfinder.com.au/tutor/jessicagraham.php

With just two days until the VCE English Language Exam, the last exam for the subjects I teach, I've been wishing bittersweet goodbyes to many graduates of late, all of whom I hope will be thrilled with their results in just one month's time!

This means that my tutorial schedule has started to open up again, and available times are listed on TutorFinder. Bookings for 2016 are also open, so please spread the word to students who would benefit from extra help in order to reach their academic and performance goals next year.

Congratulations to The Class of 2015 - enjoy the rewards for your hard work!
