I'll get straight to the point β€” I want to help you achieve the highest scores possible. Particularly for a subject such as English, I have many friends who fell short of their dream ATAR solely because of English scores alone. Coming from someone who has experienced your every struggle, the suffering of VCE has allowed me to know what resources and support you are missing most. Why might you be interested? I started with extremely low English scores- In year 9 I was averaging a consistent C+. Yet in Year 12, I had achieved: - 48 Raw in VCE English - Raw 50 in GAT English (Full marks) As well as a 30/30 in my VCE Creative Writing SAC, a core component of the new study design, making me the perfect person to help you excel. What will I offer you? I will: - Give personalised feedback on your practice essays/sacs (double checking my feedback with raw 50 English students) - Adaptive teaching which can account for all skill levels, helping students to achieve their ideal scores - Broader advice and counselling regarding VCE subject selections etc. Expect to receive: - Close Analysis (page by page ORIGINAL analysis for the entirety of "We Have Always Lived in the Castle"- my TR text for 2023) - Full mark scoring Argument analysis Essays and notes! - Specialised feedback on practice essays, I will go through each assigned text of every student! - ALL my VCE English notes and resources from the previous year, as well as sample essays from multiple raw 50 students and premier award recipients spanning across the last few years. PHILOSOPHY: Having studied VCE philosophy via VirtualSchoolVictoria [VSV] (as my school did not offer the subject), I was in a cohort that had NEVER received a study score higher than 43, which made me the first person to EVER receive a study score of 45+ (46) in VSV philosophy. I received PERFECT SAC scores! Yet I had learnt all the content and studied only 2 days before every SAC, Additionally, I had scored a 46: Yet Studied only 2 days before my final, Relearnt the entire year's content and: Completed 0 Practice exams. Why? Because I understood that Philosophy was unique from most other VCE subjects and thus one's approach to it must also be different, it is a subject not just about grinding and memorisation but truly understanding the logical workings of each philosopher. Additionally, I have personal and detailed notes for every single Text and can give you a clear and distinct understanding of the very essence of the subject. ECONOMICS: Having accelerated Economics in 2022, my experience in this subject is more layered. Jumping straight into unit 2, I have been taught by 2 amazing teachers. One of which is an Economics EXAMINER, and author of the VCE textbook. I hope I can pass on the different strategies and unique methods of analysis to my students. I believe that the most important thing in economics is consistent effort and logical thinking. Scoring only 85% on my first SAC, my approach to economics has continuously evolved, and as such, my ability to teach and help students understand. Additionally, a student whom I had tutored this year scored a RAW 43 in Economics 2023, even whilst jumping straight into 3/4 without doing 1/2.

I’ve never seen another guy more passionate about eco than edward, he got his very distinct way of teaching and motivating people to improve but overall I do find his method very helpful. Without the help of this fellow, even though I am pretty smart jokes, I don’t think I’m able to score a raw 43 in eco this year with unit 1/2 skipped. πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™
