About Charles

Hi, I'm Charles! I'm a recent Knox Grammar graduate from the Hills District, heading into medicine in 2027, and French has been one of my favorite subjects throughout school.

I ranked 1st in my Year 12 cohort in both French Continuers and French Extension, and I was Dux of French in Year 10. I was also awarded Dux of the School (STEM) and scored 2610 in the UCAT ANZ (99th percentile). Having just finished the HSC myself, I know the current syllabus, the oral exam, and the written papers inside out, and I understand how daunting speaking in another language can feel.

I've been tutoring for 3 years, and I take it seriously as a professional service. I'm a registered sole trader, I prepare every lesson around the student's needs, and I keep parents updated on progress. My Working With Children Check application is in progress.

At school, I was a House Captain and a debater, so I love helping students express their ideas clearly and confidently, in English or in French.

Send me a message to arrange a free 15-minute chat. I'd love to help you with your French!

About the lesson

My approach

Doing well in HSC French means being confident across all four skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking. I help students build accurate grammar and rich vocabulary, then turn that into fluent, sophisticated responses that impress markers. I've just completed both French Continuers and French Extension, so I know exactly what the exams demand.

How lessons work

Our first lesson begins with a short diagnostic across the four skills, and we set clear goals together. Lessons then combine targeted grammar and vocabulary work with exam practice: listening and reading comprehension, timed writing tasks with detailed feedback, and speaking practice to prepare for the oral exam. For Extension students, I help with analysing the prescribed text, building arguments on key issues, and refining monologues and essays. I use NESA past papers and marking guidelines throughout.

Lesson length

Lessons are usually 1 hour. For HSC students I recommend 1.5 hours, especially when combining written work with speaking practice.

My qualifications and experience

I ranked 1st in my Year 12 cohort at Knox Grammar in both French Continuers and French Extension, and was Dux of French in Year 10. I was also awarded Dux of the School (STEM) in 2026. I have 3 years of tutoring experience.

Who my lessons are for

Year 11 and 12 students studying French Continuers or French Extension, Years 7 to 10 students building their foundations, and beginner to intermediate adult learners who want to improve their French. Lessons are available in person within 20 minutes of Middle Dural, at a local library, or online anywhere. Free travel within 20 minutes; a small travel fee applies beyond that.
