Approach to Tutoring:

Stella is deeply passionate about fostering both academic growth and meaningful personal connections with every student she teaches. She believes that a strong, reciprocal sense of trust is the foundation of effective learning - allowing students to feel supported, motivated, and confident in their abilities.

Her approach to teaching centres holistically around each student’s learning style in order to maximise their strengths, and thus develop weaknesses into eventual strengths by setting measurable goals.

Moreover, she wholeheartedly believes that finding a sense of enjoyment and inspiration in subject English can take it from merely tolerable to something a student strives to achieve in – despite the stresses of their final schooling years.  Improving your English skills should feel like hard work (because it is), but it should also feel fulfilling, meaningful, and fun!

Biography:

Stella grew up in a small, beachside suburb in NSW and attended Central Coast Grammar School from Kindergarten to Year 3. She then moved overseas with her family and lived in Bend, Oregon for 4 years. It was such an incredible experience that nurtured her love for traveling and broadened her worldview from a young age. Upon returning home, she completed years 7-12 and placed 4th in NSW for English Advanced as well as Band 6s in all her subjects. Stella is currently studying a Bachelor of Music (Performance) at the Australian Institute of Music.

Outside of tutoring, Stella is a musician who sings, plays piano and guitar and writes her own songs. She has also been learning more about how to self-produce. She dedicates a lot of her free time to this particular creative pursuit, but she also enjoys reading, drawing and exercising.

Testimonials:

The tutoring I have received from Premier Tutors has been exceptional. Over my time here, I have improved immensely and have felt consistently well-prepared for the HSC. This year, I was tutored by Stella for English, and by Emily for Math Extension 2, Biology, and Chemistry.

Stella has been an outstanding tutor who has helped me grow tremendously as a student throughout the year. She has deepened my understanding of every text, helping me engage with the course material more effectively. The feedback and assistance she provided has greatly improved the way I approach my writing, both analytical and creative, thoroughly preparing me to adapt confidently to questions in the HSC. Overall, her passion for English has guided me towards excellence in the subject.

Emily has been an exceptional tutor who has taught me so much in the past year across multiple subjects. She explains complex concepts with clarity, offering a variety of strategies for tackling mathematical problems effectively. Her strong understanding of each subject has deepened my own knowledge, and she has helped me approach questions in a more strategic and concise manner for Biology and Chemistry. Her enthusiasm and commitment have greatly contributed to my growth and success this year in every subject.

I have been incredibly fortunate to have received tutoring at Premier Tutors, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone striving to achieve academic success.

Year 12 Student, Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College

I had a great experience with all my tutors! Stella helped me with English and was incredibly kind, committed and passionate about helping me succeed, her feedback was always detailed and very insightful. Emily and Jacob tutored me for Economics and were both very kind and excellent at explaining difficult concepts clearly. They also gave really effective feedback that helped me improve a lot. As English and Economics didn't come to me naturally, I'm not sure where my mental state would have  been during the HSC without all of their help. Highly recommend!

Year 12 Student, St Ignatius College Riverview

I cannot be more grateful to have Stella as my daughter’s HSC English tutor. My daughter is passionate about English and has always been at the top of her English class at school. She was looking for a tutor who not only teaches but also shares the same love and passion for English, while helping her reach her full potential in the subject. From the very first lesson, my daughter was certain that Stella was the right tutor for her. Stella’s achievements, deep knowledge of HSC English, and her warm, cheerful teaching style provide excellent support, challenge, and inspiration for my daughter. She truly enjoys every single lesson with Stella and continues to achieve outstanding results in her English exams, including 4 Unit English. We highly recommend Stella to anyone looking for an inspiring and dedicated HSC English tutor.
