Hi, I'm Julie, an experienced classroom teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience and a passion for helping students become confident, successful writers.
 

Throughout my career, I have worked with students of all abilities, including many preparing for the NSW Selective High School Placement Test. I understand the writing skills that selective schools are looking for and know how to provide feedback that leads to real improvement.
 

Unlike automated marking tools, I personally read and assess every writing submission. Every report is individually written by me, with detailed, constructive feedback that is specific, encouraging and easy for both children and parents to understand.
 

My aim isn't just to give your child a score; it's to explain why they received that result and provide clear, practical steps to help them improve. Every report includes an assessment against the key Selective Writing criteria, helping students understand exactly where strengths lie and which skills will have the greatest impact on future performance.
 

I believe every child can become a stronger writer with the right guidance, and I'm committed to providing the personalised support that helps students build confidence and achieve their best.
