VCE Tutoring

Hey there! My name is Jeff, and I graduated as the Dux of Xavier College with an ATAR of 99.95. I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Medicine at Monash University.

High school is unequivocally challenging - VCE aside for a moment, balancing your social life, home life and extra-curricular activities can seem quite daunting. I was in your position not too long ago and had an incredibly full-on schedule. And perhaps like you now, I dreamt big - I wanted to go into medicine after high school. This meant juggling all my commitments while being in the top 0.1% of the state academically. Frankly, I had my doubts.
But I made it.
Since graduating high school, I have made it my mission to help passionate, conscientious students who dare to dream to attain their full potential. Having tutored and mentored more than 30 students, I am very confident in helping you to score the best marks possible and get into your desired uni course.

And unlike some, I didn't sacrifice my social life and hobbies in year 12. I have gradually developed a series of strategies to study efficiently and maximise every second of my revision to maintain good grades. These have helped me to attain perfect study scores and Premiers' Award in Physics and English. And perhaps more importantly, I had an eminently enjoyable and personally enriching experience throughout the six years of high school.

My teaching style is concept-oriented, meaning I prioritise helping you to fully understand the underlying ideas using well-written and clear notes before walking you through example questions. In other words, I wish to train and guide the way you think and approach questions. Having been tutored myself by a VCE methods examiner, I'm confident in helping you to develop an "exam-perspective" to understand just exactly what the examiners are looking for. Moreover, I aim to cultivate the skill of studying efficiently rather than abundantly within all my students, an ability that will undoubtedly assist you in time management and to achieve success in your future careers - after all, that's what VCE is all about!

Hi! My name is Tamsyn and I graduated as Dux of Strathcona BGGS, with an ATAR of 99.90, including a raw 50 in Chemistry and a Premier's Award. Having recently completed VCE, I am familiar with how stressful it can be. However, I am also very aware of how a calm, consistent approach with attention to keeping on top of key concepts and how to apply them, can lead to success. I have a passion for Chemistry, but completely understand it is not everyone’s thing! I also have a strong knowledge base, having completed up to second year university physics and maths, and am currently doing my Honours in Chemistry.
Having already helped many peers with both the basics and intricacies of Chemistry, I would love to help you understand the mysteries of the subject and achieve your goals.
Throughout VCE, while I undoubtably focussed on my school work, I held several leadership positions and remained involved in many extra curricular activities including swimming, athletics, cross country, debating, string orchestra and academic extension. Maintaining this busy lifestyle forced me to study extremely efficiently and effectively.

I believe I can not only explain content in an engaging and comprehensive way but also help improve your study skills, so you don’t have to sacrifice the activities you love or a solid night’s sleep!

Now I am studying the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) - Science at the Australian National University, and when I'm outside the lab enjoy running, triathlons, dinners with friends, and of course, tutoring my lovely students!

Hey, I'm Eleni! I graduated from Haileybury with an ATAR of 97.4 - and if you'd asked me before year 12 how I was going to achieve that, I would have drawn a blank. I loved school, especially English, but despite being a great writer with "so much potential" according to teachers, I could barely make it through my homework, and I'd never finished a timed essay.
A little trial and a lot of error over my whole school life led to two discoveries: one - I had ADHD, and two - I had to do things a bit differently from my peers if I wanted to get results that reflected what I was capable of. And it worked! I found what worked for me and stuck to it, and learned that the road to success looks different for everyone - and that idea guides me as a tutor.
I'm now studying English and Ancient History at Melbourne Uni, which I absolutely love (even though I still have to write lots of essays). I've been able to develop and understand the skills necessary to write some pretty killer analysis, and knowing that everyone learns differently, I aim to help my students develop those skills too - and hopefully enjoy the process!
