About Grant
| As of Sep 2011, my schedule early in the week is quite full. Thursdays 5:45-6:45pm I have one session free (if you are in Airport Ward), Fridays after school and Saturday mornings is when I am usually most free.
Saturday afternoons are available by casual appointment, and possibly Sundays for the first session only (between 1-4pm). I might also be available for urgent sessions at other times as students sometimes cancel at short notice. Why not ask your school if I can tutor you on campus during your free periods or lunch break? A little about myself first, I always had in my teachers strong male role models, and would be happy to mentor you(r child) in education as well as study and other life skills. Due to my great love of school, I always wanted to be a teacher and did very well - graduating with a VCE ENTER score of 97.35 in 1999. After a gap year in northern Europe, I attended a few different schools of further education (see below). In 2012 I will begin further studies in literacy, numeracy, and student welfare at Tabor Victoria, in Mulgrave. I like to work closely with your school to quickly discern the areas that need the most work, rather than giving the student too much extra work that might not even be relevant to their needs. I am great at helping with current homework and preparing for upcoming SACs/exams, and can even re-teach study areas that are identified as real weaknesses for you. Lesson structure really depends on what sort of help you need. I am able to provide worksheets, notes and past exam papers as necessary, or we can simply work from the material teachers have already given out (what most students prefer). I will also consider providing extra help over the phone or Internet for my regular students. On the current VCE English/ESL text list, I am most familiar with the following texts: Peter Goldsworthy's "Maestro," Louis Nowra's "Cosi," Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Bruce Dawe's "Sometimes Gladness," Peter Weir's film "Witness," Sarah Watt's film "Look Both Ways," Elia Kazan's film "On the Waterfront," Tennessee Williams's "A Streetcar Named Desire". I am currently reading Hillman and Mazari's "The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif" and Barack Obama's "Dreams From My Father". If you are studying other (con)texts you will probably have to give me five working days notice unless your happy with general essay writing tips for your first English lesson. Since I first started tutoring, I have taught VCE and IB Chemistry, as well as VCE English/ESL, Maths Methods, Further Maths, Physics and Business Management. I have also helped students with IELTS, Victorian Police Education Entrance Exam, and Biblical Studies After majoring in Media at Melbourne University (where I also studied Maths, Physics and psychology), I went on to NTM Bible College, and then achieved a Basic Teaching Certificate at Neil Thomas Christian University in Vanuatu, where I taught for 3.5 years: 2008-9 VCE English 2008-9 VCE ESL 2007-9 VELS (Years 7-10) mathematics 2006-7 VCE Business Management 2006 VCE Accounting ABN 40 576 321 398 Deposits for pre-paid lessons: Grant Vandervalk 033-134 / 34-7318 (Westpac) Student Discount Up to 50% discount per person available for group tuition (by arrangement) Up to 33% discount available for individuals with prepaid blocks of lessons (e.g. $60 for 1 hr/week, or $100 for 2 hrs/wk, $140 for 3 hrs/wk, $180 for 4 hrs/wk) or in Airport Ward area# A Travel Fee of about 20c/km may apply for each round trip more than 25km from our home+ (e.g. for Doncaster, base rate $60/hr, + $10 per visit to cover fuel both ways). NOTE: CityLink Pass fee ($13) may also apply for Melbourne CBD or Eastern Suburbs. The best way to avoid this fee is to meet me at the Hume Global Learning Centre (www.humelibraries.vic.gov.au/Locations_Hours/Libraries/The_Age_Library) or, when the library is closed (such as Friday evenings and Saturday afternoon) lessons might be run in my home + # Airport Ward includes Gladstone Park, Tullamarine, Keilor, Westmeadows, Attwood and Jacana. Southern parts of Aitken, West Merri or NE Brimbank might also carry a small discount, otherwise prepurchasing lessons with others would be the cheapest option (see above under Student Discount)! + see Melway Map 6 C8, walking distance from the 477 and 902 bus lines |
