"Using martial arts & education I will​​
help create strong people with sharp minds and soft hearts." ​
​
Educator | Youth Coach | Accredited martial arts instructor

I coach NSW Prelim and HSC (Standard and Advanced) English with a focus on helping students discover their authentic voice.
In a world full of distractions and pressures I guide students to understand their own story - their experiences, challenges, family dynamics and coping patterns...
​
Transforming self-awareness into powerful, genuine writing that connects with readers.
​​​​​​
I don't teach like a traditional teacher.
I connect with students as someone they can trust and be real with.
Students engage because I meet them where they are, not where a curriculum thinks they should be.​​​


​
How it works
1. What matters is YOU. ​
​
2. Recognise the power of your own voice and scale it. Discover yourself as the thinker and the communicator.
​
3. Learn to play to the game of the Department of Education.​​​​​
Below are what some past students have said about our journey together...

Lance P, Marist College North Shore '21
"When I was studying for my HSC, I was having a lot of trouble with English and was recommended by a friend to start tutoring with Harrison. As a naive 17 year old student, I was struggling with my own expectations with HSC and as a result became quite anxious about my academic performance as I believed it would determine my future in university. Upon reflection of myself during that time, I would often impose a great amount of pressure to perform well and achieve high marks that would eventually deteriorate my own self-esteem, confidence and ultimately my own health. ​ However, I noticed a positive change in myself with having lessons with Harrison, not only improvements in my writing capabilities but also in addressing these issues that I did not realise at that time. He was a positive influence in helping me realise the reality of the HSC and the examinations that it is only 'a test' and a 'pathway to university' which did not define myself as a human being. He raised an emphasis on focusing on the progression of my abilities and skills rather than results, through goals to have a sense of direction towards improvement. Overall with this perspective on the reality of HSC, and a focus on improving my skills, it has really made a productive impact on managing my expectations for the HSC and relieving myself from the burden to attain high marks. As a result, I actually experienced more academic success which has even persisted into my tertiary studies as I am in my second year of university studying a bachelor of nursing. I am very grateful for meeting a person like Harrison who has been a positive influence in my teenage years and his many lessons and teachings have become foundational to my holistic development as a young adult."

"Hey Harrison, I cannot express how grateful I am for the invaluable life lessons and experiences that you have shared with me over the years. Your guidance and support has helped me through my teenage years and schooling, and I have grown because of your influence. You have always been there to listen to me when I needed to talk, to offer sage advice when I was uncertain, and to encourage me when I needed a boost. Your mentorship has helped me to navigate challenges, discover my strengths, and pursue my passions with confidence. Through your example, I have learned the importance of hard work, determination and, and resilience. You have taught me to set goals, to work towards them with discipline and focus, and to never give up. Your unwavering belief in me has been a constant source of inspiration, and I am forever grateful for your encouragement and support.More than anything, you have taught me to experience life fully and to appreciate all of its ups and downs. Your wisdom and perspective have helped me to see the world in a new light, and I can gladly say I am becoming a better person because of it. Thank you Harrison, for all that you have done for me. Your mentorship and brotherhood has made a profound difference on life and will always cherish the memories and lessons that we have shared together."
