Reviews

Before this year, as I picked English Language, I had very little confidence in my ability to do well. However, under Ethan's guidance throughout the year, I slowly gained confidence in my ability in the subject. His insight in the subject is incredible, and is capable and patient in his teaching style. Furthermore, he is always pushing me to do more work, and to not be complacent in preparing for the end-of-year exam As a debating coach, his structures and guidelines to writing arguments are also very clear. He has given me and my team a base to work off of, and to improve from. Without his help, we would not be winning our debates in DAV this year.

Entering year 12, I found English Language extremely daunting; I was unsure if a raw 35 was even achievable. That is, until I met Ethan. Ethan's true dedication to helping each and every one of his students is unmatched - always providing us with detailed feedback and ways to improve. At the beginning of the year, I could not write a comprehensible AC, but under the guidance of Ethan, I was able to slowly develop a structure and learn how to translate ideas logically onto paper. Aside from the technical skills, Ethan has also empowered me, believed in me and wants to see me and his other students alike, succeed. Ethan has been nothing less than the most patient, supportive and helpful tutor. Thanks to Ethan, I am now on track to achieve a raw study score of 45+. If you're looking for tutor to push you, or even simply to be by your side every step of the way; a tutor equipped with a strong skill set or a tutor who genuinely cares for their students, Ethan Ong is the one for you!!

The lasting impact Ethan has made in my journey with English language has been nothing short of an inspiration to me. His dedication and patience is evident through untiring amounts of constructive feedback for my Essay and AC: precisely pointing out issues without all the sugar coating, telling me directly how to improve. Even before he was my tutor, I think that Ethan truely stood out because of his commitment to assist me with maths and beyond. Despite having to balance his own academic challenges, he assisted me out of generosity as a friend and older student. His ability to juggle his responsibilities while still being there for others is a testament to just how selfless and committed he is. He always actively looks for new ways to help his students - not because he has to, but out of genuine care for his pupils. By motivating me to push hard, aim high and be satisfied with nothing less than perfection, he has constantly supported me. I will be forever grateful for the influence he’s had on my studies.

Ethan Ong has helped me tremendously this year. Just like my brother Yufeng Li, under his 'tutelage' I am able to reach my full potential. Unlike some neglectful tutors, Ethan devotes genuine time and care, guiding you in a step by step manner. His deep insight into seemingly ordinary texts reveals layers of meaning I never thought to explore, and his ability to connect with students makes english language more enjoyable. I used to think English Language was my weakest subject. Now, like Ray, I’m rank 1 in my cohort and hopefully on track for a high score. If you guys see my name on the honour roll next year, thats all you need to know

Omg Ethan is such a good tutr, would recommend For your information, the above is how I would have written my review before my tutelage with Ethan. To any prospective VCE English Language student seeking not just a tutor, but a true academic mentor, I cannot recommend Ethan more highly. My experience under his tutelage has been nothing short of transformative. Ethan possesses a rare ability to deconstruct the complexities of English Language into a coherent and masterable framework. Beyond his impeccable academic credentials—his premier-worth exam score in English Language being a clear testament to his expertise—Ethan is a profoundly effective communicator. Furthermore, his generosity and engagement in lessons provides an unparalleled experience that extends learning far beyond the standard tutorial session. I am deeply thankful for Ethan's guidance, strategic insight, and unwavering support. He is, without a doubt, a cut above the rest.

If I could recommend one englang tutor, it would definitely be Ethan. I usually get nervous with tutors who are strict and hard to approach, but Ethan was the complete opposite, he’s so kind and approachable. He always encouraged me to send him questions and work, and he provided detailed, insightful feedback every time. This was incredibly helpful and really boosted my confidence for both SACs and exam preparation. Since the start of the year, I’ve been recommending him to all my friends who does englang, and I’ll continue to do so!

i started tutoring with Ethan at the beginning of the year with the goal of achieving a 35+ in English Language. After just a few classes, I decided to stay because I felt I was learning so much. Ethan always provided practice work that consolidated what we covered in class and work that covered my weak points, consistently supported me along the way. As I improved, he encouraged me to tackle more challenging work, which pushed me further. Thanks to his guidance, my SAC scores skyrocketed, and I’m now ranked 1 in my cohort with an estimated study score of 45+. I’m so glad I chose to do tutoring with Ethan, and I really hope more students get the chance to work with him!

Ethan is such a good tutor who is super patient and always happy to answer questions. He has been very helpful in giving me a much deeper insight in the content and makes Eng lan way less stressful and actually enjoyable. I’ve definitely seen an improvement in my marks thanks to his constructive and detailed feedback

Ethan has been the biggest help in pulling up my English Language abilities this year in 1 on 1 sessions. I remember the first session we had where I wrote very much like a mainstream English student, but after receiving his feedback in a single week I felt that I had a better grasp on what the subject was about. Going into year 12 I thought the highest I'd be able to achieve was a 35, but with his support I managed to receive a 47 which I never though was possible. Truly has been the biggest help.
