I have bachelor degrees in English literature and law from the University of New South Wales and masters degrees in English literature and Film Aesthetics from Oxford University, respectively.

I have taught various one-on-one and class courses at tutoring colleges within Australia, including basic grammar and syntax, for ESL students, to advanced rhetorical and literary criticism, for elite school students.
