I specialise in preparing YR10, YR11 and YR12 students for HSC English.

Tutoring with Mitch played an essential role in developing my English skills. I particularly found Mitch’s engaging lessons and ability to help elevate my understanding and analysis of texts most important. He was very structured and really helped me prepare for all my exams and assessments. I wouldn’t have gone as well as I did in the HSC without his help.

Mitch is an amazing teacher. I couldn’t have done so well for the HSC without his help. I ended up getting a 95 for English (94 internal and 96 external), which I thought was near impossible! Mitch explained the texts I studied thoroughly, provided easy to understand feedback and overall helped me improve my writing, analysis and ability to fully address the question. I was so well prepared for the HSC that even two weeks out I wasn’t stressed. A huge thanks!!!

Dr Mitch was a superb help for my son’s result in the 2024 HSC. He was very good to deal with. We tried a few private tutors before but Nick never quite hit it off with them. When he started with Dr Mitch my son’s confidence in English really grew. Dr Mitch taught Nick all the fundamentals and explained exactly what Nick needed to do to improve both his analysis and comprehension. Dr Mitch really helped improve Nick’s essays and his exam performance.

An amazing tutor. I went to some other tutoring centres before Mitch but I didn’t find them helpful at all. Mitch is a sharpshooter and showed me exactly what I needed to do to get the grades. Thanks Mitch, can’t thank you enough!

Mitch was such a big help! Me and a friend had a small group class with him for year 12. Mitch was very encouraging and gave clear guidance on what we needed to do to increase our marks and get in the top band. He was very knowledgeable about the texts we studied, was always encouraging and gave plenty of feedback on our essays. I ended up scoring 94 and my friend got something similar, which was amazing because English was far from our best subject.

Dr Harper was a huge help for Advanced and Extension English. He seemed to know everything about the texts I studied in year 11 and year 12.

He made everything so relatable, understandable and engaging. I actually came to really appreciate and enjoy all the texts we studied. He was very clear on what I needed to include in my practice essays, he gave heaps of tips about how to adapt them to exam questions and he always gave feedback. He also provided a lot of helpful suggestions for my extension I comparative texts and really helped me grasp all the central Mindscapes ideas. And finally, he completely saved my arse with Mod C by thoroughly explaining how to write creative and discursive responses.

Dr Harper’s an amazing tutor and I highly recommend him.

Dr Mitch Harper tutored both my son and daughter for the HSC. He was highly recommended by a friend, and I’m so glad we discovered him, because Mark and Jasmine really loved working with him. It was through the Covid years, so I was particularly nervous about whether they’d get enough support from school -- and not to mention, English was never their strong suit. I could hear how engaged my kids were whenever they had online lessons from home and they always raved about how great a teacher he was. Mitch was always willing to provide feedback on how Mark and Jasmine were progressing, and I always felt like I was dealing with someone who was professional and passionate. Mark and Jasmine both scored in the top band and got into the Uni courses they wanted. Thanks so much Mitch!

Mitch is the best tutor! I was always able to give clear direction in what I needed to write about. Mitch has a great way of making difficult ideas understandable and he’s very engaging. He was always prompt with feedback (unlike my teacher) and I would’ve been screwed without his assistance. I couldn’t recommend him enough! If you need an awesome tutor, look no further! Just don’t call him sir - haha.

I was tutored by Mitch from year 10 until the HSC. He’s very knowledgeable and engaging, and he really helped develop my writing and analysis. By the time I got to year 12, I knew what I needed to include in my practice essays and understood how to adapt them to the question. Mitch gave me ample feedback and he’s incredibly patient and encouraging. I ended up getting a 93 for English overall and I couldn’t have been happier.

Mitch is an awesome tutor! I always struggled with English and never felt that I knew exactly what was expected. But Mitch has a very clear way of explaining things and after just a couple of lessons, everything started to click. He showed me what I needed to include in my essays and taught me how to write creatives and discursive for Mod C. He was so generous with his time and gave me a lot of feedback, which really helped, as I ended up getting a Band 6 for advanced. I can’t recommend him enough!
