About Linda

The below testimonials are from Australian and international students, and students I have taught Skype (I have many more - this is a sample):

Testimonial 1
From: kara sandler (MASADA)
Sent: Tuesday, 5 May 2012
Hi Linda,

I heard you were leaving to live in Europe, and would be tutoring over there. So I wanted to thank you for everything you did to help me achieve the marks I did, and to remind you of just how much you helped.

By the end of yr 11 I was ranked in the 20s out of 40 students, before any tutoring. By the end of trials in Yr 12 I was ranked 8 out of 40. My mark for English at the end of HSC was 93 and my UAI mark was 95.85

Clearly there is no doubt that my HUGE improvement in English was because of you!

Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort
Best of luck for the future
Love Kara

Hi Linda,
I've been meaning to call you for a long time now!

Just wanted to let you know that I got 92% for my HSC English exam mark and am very, very happy with it. I'm currently at Macquarie studying a Bachelor of International Communications. So a big thank you to you for everything you did last year - your tutoring helped me tremendously!

Thanks again for everything, Kelly.

Thank you so much for everything and good luck in Bali and France!

Our son Tyson was enrolled in an exclusive boys school for years 7 to 12, leaving in 2007.
Tyson is an intelligent boy but we found that he was struggling with his comprehension and structure of essay’s for English even though the teaching standard was supposed to be of a high quality.

We engaged Linda Hamilton Evans as our son’s tutor for a period of 3 years and found that Linda connected with Tyson in a fashion that he could understand and filled in all the gaps that he had somehow managed to miss at school.

Tyson went on to achieve a UAI of 92.3 and we attribute much of this success to Linda’s tutoring intervention and would have no hesitation in recommending her talents for future children to achieve great results for English.

Yours sincerely,
D Donnelly

Testimonial 4:
From: Tom Shearman (NORTH SYDNEY BOY'S HIGH)
Sent: Thursday, 25 January 2015

Linda,

For my results, I got over 90 in all my subjects, and a 93 in English Advanced. I got a UAI of 98.35, which got me comfortably into my Media Communications course at Sydney Uni, which I have accepted and deferred.
I'm looking for full time work, and I have a casual job for summer. Hopefully by winter I'll have saved enough money to travel to South America.
I'd like to thank you again for all your help over the last 2 years, and I hope we can stay in touch as you have been amazing.
Cheers, Tom Shearman

From: Joshua Kangisser (MASADA)

Hi Linda,
I have attached a testimonial as I really hope you’re going to continue to help students when you move to Europe!
I am currently studying at Macquarie University, doing a double degree of Commerce & Law, after graduating from high school. I attended a small private school, where the students were extremely competitive, fighting for the best internal ranks.

English was never a strong point for me. I sat Advanced English, but continued to struggle, floating near the bottom of my year group. Therefore, at the beginning
of year 11, I started attending a tutor who had quite a good reputation.

However, throughout the 11th and most of the 12th grade, my marks never got better.

In a state of desperation and absolute frustration, I left my previous tutor. I was in a stressed state as internal end of year exams were only a few weeks away. On recommendation, I contacted Linda who listened to my case & very kindly squeezed me into her full schedule.

Given the short time I received lessons with Linda before the Internal exams, my understanding of what was required in the course began to broaden. She also introduced me to new techniques and approaches to an essay, helping me re-build my approach to exams. Sadly it wasn't enough time to significantly improve my marks, and i finished ranked 26 out of a group of 40.

However, in the period before finals, I worked very closely with Linda, as she dedicated much of her time to helping me practice and develop my essay strategies, also marking essays of mine.

Linda's brilliance wasn't just in her ability to teach me to grasp the question and correctly formulate a sophisticated response; her true brilliance was in the way she gave me a new level of confidence, to such a high extent I could freely write an essay to my best ability. Whereas before my low confidence just helped my marks spiral downwards

As a result, I climbed to achieve a final exam mark of 95 - being the 2nd highest in the year group. This was even better then a select few of my friends who I never dreamed of beating, having never previously received higher marks then them in any given section of an exam. My internal mark was 84, however with my 95 and 84 combined, it averaged to 90, thus being in the top performance band.

I never dreamed of receiving a Band 6 in English, but having done so, it helped me achieve a UAI of 96.9, thus paving the way into my degree of choice.

An English teacher for 17 years, based in Sydney and Bali, I am now living in Paris, working as an English teacher, translator and copy-writer. Given my prior working history, my advanced English skills, my unique teaching techniques in both private lessons and group work, and the fact that I worked as a researcher and journalist for Australian television and magazines, using my english abilities, I feel I am an English teacher with rich and varied experiences that allows me to comfortably work within in any of the above areas.

An Australian, of British nationality, I hold an MA in Literature, a post-graduate degree (TESOL) in teaching English (both issued by Macquarie University, Sydney). Having worked in secondary education and the university for nearly 17 years, and in private tutoring and Skype tutoring from home, I have extensive experience in the field of training and I possess all the pedagogy required for this position . I am at your disposal for any questions and would love to offer a first lesson to discuss your needs

  • Parlez-vous couramment cette langue en raison de vos origines ou parce qu'un professeur vous a donné envie de l'apprendre ?

    Née en Angleterre de parents australiens et afrikans passionnés par la littérature, j'ai grandi avec un flair et une passion pour ma langue, ce qui n'a été valorisé et encouragé que par le plus formidable professeur de littérature anglaise de mes années au secondaire.
  • Citez le personnage vivant, historique ou fictif qui est, selon vous, le représentant emblématique de la culture en question !

    Je ne suis pas sûr de la culture à regarder ici - ma culture (qui est diverse du fait que je n'ai jamais vécu dans un même lieu pendant une longue période - j'ai donc de nombreux pays d'origine) ou la France qui est maintenant chez moi ...

    En général, je m'inspire de la musique, de l'art et de la littérature - de tous les genres. Donc, je ne saurais pas qui choisir ... de Shakespeare à Faulkner; de Blake à TS Eliot; de Da Vinci à Picasso; de Mozart à Piaf…. Des genres entiers inspirent; les individus moins
  • Y-a-t-il, dans celle-ci, un mot, une expression, une tradition ou un comportement typique qui vous amuse particulièrement ?

    Les paroles de Coco Chanel reflètent le mieux ma vie: "J'ai décidé qui je voulais être, et c'est qui je suis".
  • En quoi savoir parler cette langue est important, que ce soit scolairement, professionnellement ou d'un point de vue plus personnel ?

    L'anglais n'est pas seulement une langue malléable et une langue riche en diversité avec ses méandres, elle est aussi sans aucun doute la langue internationale des affaires et de la communication et la langue du monde virtuel.
  • Quelle est la difficulté principale de cette langue et ce qui peut favoriser son apprentissage ?

    L'un des cauchemars des locuteurs de notre langue serait nos 'phrasal verbs' qui sont extrêmement importants car beaucoup ont pratiquement remplacé le verbe original. Etre capable de les utiliser confortablement fait une différence dans la fluidité. En fait, il y a une demi-douzaine de domaines clés de l'anglais qui peuvent poser des problèmes, mais une fois maîtrisés, le locuteur de langue seconde aura une maîtrise beaucoup plus riche de l'anglais
  • Une anecdote en rapport avec votre métier ou votre scolarité à nous raconter ?

    Quand j'ai commencé à enseigner à Paris, je croyais que, même si j'avais un double master en anglais, je ne le ferais que pendant une brève période, car j'avais toutes les intentions de poursuivre mon autre parcours professionnel - l'œnologie. Cependant, j'ai trouvé un tel plaisir à regarder mes clients approfondir leurs connaissances et leur maîtrise de l'anglais, que j'ai choisi de faire de cette carrière ma carrière.
  • Aidez-nous à vous connaître un peu mieux en évoquant vos différents voyages.

    D'origine australienne, j'ai toujours eu une passion pour tout ce qui est français et j'étais donc déterminée à déménager ici pour vivre un jour. C'est arrivé - mais d'une manière très détournée. Ma vie antérieure m'a amené dans presque tous les pays asiatiques pour affaires lorsque je possédais un groupe de centres éducatifs privés; ensuite en Inde où j'ai passé plusieurs années en tant que deisgner de la mode et de la bijouterie; en europe des dizaines de fois au cours des années à partir de 15 ans; et juste avant de déménager en France, j'ai passé 12 ans à Bali dans le développement d'hôtels et de villas privées. Ma vie a donc toujours été consacrée à l'emballage des valises et à l'embarquement dans les avions. Jusqu'à présent - comme je suis enfin où j'ai vraiment l'impression d'être chez moi.
  • Qu'est-ce qui fait de vous un Superprof, en + de cette capacité à s'exprimer en plusieurs langues ?

    Je pense que je représente la langue anglaise sous sa meilleure forme comme une langue que j'adore pour toutes ses complexités et pour ses simplicités. Ajoutez à cela le fait que rencontrer des gens et enseigner sont deux de mes passions, ce qui explique sans doute pourquoi certaines semaines, je travaille plus de 70 heures!
