Hi,

My name is James Hu. I graduated from Fort Street High School in 2005 as the Dux with a 99.5 UAI, having studied 4U English, 3U maths, 3U History and Economics. I am now studying Commerce/Law at UNSW while working at a prestigious law firm and starting next year, at a venture capital firm.

I have been tutoring since the week after I finished my HSC until now. I have taught well over 100 students from schools ranging from James Ruse and Sydney Boys to MLC and Pymbles. For students in English and Economics, I specialise in:

- Helping already extremely talented and capable students with a strong grasp of english/economics and the syllabus content reach the next level by introducing high level concepts and strategies. i.e. I help you seperate yourself from other high-flyers.

- Helping students who are in the band 3/4 range achieve up to high band 5/low band 6. Many of my students in English and Eco who suffered from poor writing ability that hampered their marks have experienced a drastic and fundamental change in the style of their writing that meet the standards required at HSC level. My approach is very practical and is proven. For Economics, I will condense entire pages of content into core ideas and concepts that are easy to digest and understand for those who do not have a natural talent in the subject.


RE NEW ENGLISH AOS: I am an HSC English tutor. Not a Journeys AOS tutor. My knowledge and understanding is of the Area of Studies, whether it be journeys, identity, change, obsession, prejudice or as it is now: Belonging. I have taught all those AOS' i just listed and I already know Belonging back to front. It will be more challenging of course when we discuss your actual prescribed texts because I won't know them in absolute full detail. But i have encounted that problem for 3 years now because of the range of AOS' I teach for year 11 students and I can tell you it's not a problem.

Before 2008, I usually taught around 15-20 students a week and my ad would have been quite a fixture at BOS. This year, because of strong university and work commitments, I stopped taking in any new students and taught only my year 11 students from the year before.

However, as my commitments ease up over the next year, I am seeking a new group of students who need a little push to get them where they want to go academically.

Students who are not looking for a long term relationship are also welcome. I am quite good at giving crash courses and can summarise entire terms into a 2 hour lesson. (My best achievement was teaching the entire Economics syllabus to a friend in 3 hours the night before his final HSC exam. He did not know anything. He got 86 in the exam).

DETAILS:
Location: Burwood or City (to be arranged between me and you)
Rate: $50 and hour. $40 for a group of two. $30 for a group of three. No more than three for efficiency purposes.

CONTACTS:
Email: Legal_jameshu@hotmail.com
Phone: 0410 343 187
Note: Try to contact me on the above. I do not often come on BOS so any messages through BOS might be waiting for a while for an answer.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

James

An older ad from way back which is still mostly applicable...except for the pricing details. You can read it for my first post which provides a more indepth description of what I can provide since i wrote it back when I was still relatively a young energetic kid.

It got shut down i think for all the colourful commentary and banter lol.

This guy is good. Well he was good back then. Surely he's better now. He used to teach in Burger King, no joke.

Some of you must remember him.

If you don't, then remember me? I am Dreamerish*~.

I'm so embarrassed.
