Information about James

PASSIONATE AND ENTHUSIASTIC MUSIC AND FRENCH TUTOR

Hi! I`m James. I recently graduated year 12 at St Aloysius` College in Kirribilli. I am a violinist and love music and have a strong passion for France, the French language and French culture. I intend on pursuing studies at Sydney Conservatorium of Music next year.

I especially love Music and French because both are means of expression. Music is a language as is French and this allows us to connect with others and help us understand people and the world better. I am a believer that it is so important for everyone to learn a language at some point, whether it be for the health benefits on the brain or for going on holidays, I think everyone should have the opportunity to learn music and a foreign language. I`d be delighted to take on students of any age who are keen on Music and/or French. Below I will briefly outline my experience of Music and French at school.

I did the HSC Music 2 course accelerated and topped the course as I have done since Year 9. This year I studied the Music Ext course and received an ENCORE nomination for my final performance. I was also the Captain of Music at St Aloysius in 2018 and have been concertmaster of the orchestra and chamber orchestra since year 9.

In French, I have topped the course every year since Year 8 at school and was also awarded the DELF (Diplôme d`études en langue française/Diploma in French language studies) B1 diploma in 2016 with Mention Très Bien (Distinction) which allows me to study at French university.

Availability: I am very flexible as I have finished my HSC. However, I will not be available from Nov 20-Nov 30.

I am based in Pymble, however I can drive and can travel to student`s homes or negotiate somewhere if that suits better.

Willing to travel: 15 miles

Experience: I have taken workshops and directed the chamber ensemble as concertmaster at St Aloysius` College. I am quite an experienced musician and have had many wonderful opportunities. I have performed regularly with the Sydney Youth Orchestra and Australian Youth Orchestra since 2016, and have also had the honour of performing and working with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra this year. I attained my AMusA diploma on violin with Distinction in 2015 and took part in Sydney Conservatorium`s Rising Stars programme. I was also awarded Honours in AMEB Grade 6 theory in 2015.

Although I have not officially tutored French in the past, I`m very used to helping students with homework and revision for French at school. Tutoring French has always been something that I want to do. I love all things French and would love to work with students to share my passion with them!
