Gabriella Nagata

I am your HSC English Tutor, and I would like to welcome you to Educare Sydney, a stimulating and safe environment that will unlock the beauty of literature and the joys of self expression.

At Educare Sydney, students are given the skills to both create and express their unique insights which are often overlooked.

Experienced in HSC marking and teaching, I understand the difficulties students face in articulating their ideas and, more importantly, in navigating the demands of assessment tasks and syllabus requirements.

Many tuitions schools apply a template or generic approach to the teaching of English, outsourcing the task of teaching to undergraduates.

Teaching is my calling and I am interested in
unlocking the power and potential of every
students written and verbal communication skills to be successful both in the HSC and in life.

Educational Strategies for HSC English

I offer video recordings of all sessions which enable students to review important written and analytic components of the course. This is particularly essential for Year 12 students as the Advanced English course is complex and the recording allows for the revision of written work and discussion.

Parents can observe these recordings here, allowing for insight into their child’s learning and the nature of instruction offered by Educare Sydney.

Hsc English Advanced Tutor  Essay Writing

The written feedback provided for students is extremely detailed and encourages the students to be directly shown how and why their written response or essays lack cohesion or acumen.

  Reading Comprehension

Reading online with students allows me to immediately ascertain their critical understanding and more importantly encourage other students to share their perceptions.

Engish HSC tuition Sydney  Audio

The audio component of teaching online forces students to be better listeners and better communicators.

 

  Critical Thinking

I always stress that students must understand and critically examine and evaluate their own responses to literature firstly, before they draw on other perspectives.

Why Choose Educare Sydney?

Hsc English Advanced Tutor   Extending all student potential

I’d like to begin by saying that I do not believe in capping student potential, and I believe all students are capable of extending themselves far beyond their own expectations and the perceptions of others. The greatest benefit offered here as distinct from many places of learning is my ability to infuse joy and provoke curiosity and interest in literature and language. In my experience students have not even begun to anticipate the dynamic nature of literature and more importantly, the power of written communication.

   Learning exactly how to improve written skills

Under my teaching, students actually learn how to write. They learn how to construct sentences, how to start sentences, how to join sentences and how to analyse rather than recount information. These are necessary components in the structuring of extended responses and essay writing. My understanding of teaching how to write has not only been derived from observing and teaching for well over twenty years, but also from an innate ability to understand individual learning impediments and stumbling blocks.

Engish HSC tuition Sydney  Exploring the historical and philosophic features which underpin the values in all literature

As a teacher well equipped not only in English literature but linguistics and history, my approach to teaching literature is holistic and specialised. Much of the syllabus today requires an understanding of historical events, socio-political contexts and even an understanding of ancient Greek philosophy and classical allusions. In addition, the social and political elements of the syllabus encourage a presumed awareness of political ideologies and philosophies that is often far beyond the rudimentary knowledge of high school students. It is for this reason that I include as a matter of course, an integrated approach to the study of language and literature; in particular for HSC students. Irrespective of group or individual tuition, students are first encouraged to understand the philosophy and design of their syllabus; in this way, they can better prepare assessment tasks and essays that actually tackle the explicit demands of the syllabus and its rationale.

  Producing authentic work

As our education system becomes increasingly goal-orientated and students rush to meet expectations demanded of them, many of them have lost touch with the fundamental importance of their own observations and their own literary insights. In many cases, students prefer to have their essays written by tutors or copy-and-paste words which reflect very little of their own beliefs and opinions. As an educator, I firmly believe in the importance of authenticity and the pride that comes with personal accomplishment.
