Here are just a few of the success stories at Benchmark...

Stella was an amazing tutor for VCE Japanese this year. She was very friendly and created a comfortable environment from the very first lesson, which I was extremely grateful for. Throughout the year, we worked together to analyse my weaknesses, and she helped me to strategically break these weaknesses down into simple and clear steps. Stella was also very knowledgeable, and was able to answer all of my questions regarding various topics, even those outside the VCE syllabus. As she had just finished VCE Japanese, she was very well versed in the technicalities and common mistakes made during exams and SACs. Overall, Stella definitely helped me grasp a better understanding of Japanese as a whole this year, and this helped me to feel more confident going into my SACs and exams.

In Year 11, I was really struggling with my Japanese and I honestly lost my motivation and hope for the subject. Come the next year, a friend told me about Mark and his tutoring. Since the very start, he looked after me and gradually gave me the confidence I needed for the subject. He made personalised work sheets at the start of the year and then prepared me thoroughly for all my SACs. He had tips and advice that even shocked my teacher and to this day I am forever grateful how caring he was for me. He was always considerate of my schedule and looked after me like an older brother and made sure I wasn't stressed. He gave study tips, life lessons that I'll hold for life, and his resources were simply ones you would never find elsewhere. The way Mark taught made everything so much easier to understand and I genuinely looked forward to every class each week. Mark will always be one of the greatest teachers and tutors I've had

Working with Luna throughout my unit 3/4 Japanese was the most helpful and enjoyable experience I had while learning the language. Luna, not only was able to fine tune my language knowledge I already had, she was able to expand and teach in very helpful ways that made learning and memorising so much easier. Luna's experience as a past student of VCE Japanese exam setting helped me with advice and practice especially with the oral section of the subject. She is an excellent tutor.

Mark has been an English tutor for my son for the past 2 years. He has helped my son thrive in his studies with his caring manner and willingness to help my son in anyway to ensure he succeeds. Mark is incredibly reliable and is always available for my son, he has certainly gone above and beyond to provide my son with an amazing tutoring experience. He has excellent time management as he is always on time for his tutoring sessions and is a good communicator. Overall, Mark is an exceptional tutor and because of his professional and caring nature, my son has been able to advance in his studies.

Parent

I found Justin's maths lessons really engaging and constructive. His approach to teaching me a chapter or certain topics worked well and his strategy to help me prepare for SACs and exams really supported me in consolidating the information and applying it to various questions. Overall, the lessons with Justin were really engaging - he always provided constructive feedback and information on my approach to the subject as well as supporting me throughout the year to continuously do well in the examinations.

Yousif

Studying with Benchmark this year has been enjoyable and engaging, helping me form a profound passion for the language that I would not have found otherwise. Through the organised and well-coordinated lessons, I could see the countless hours of preparation that my tutor put in beforehand. It was pleasing to see that Benchmark was able to lay out such a structured course that actually provided me direction in learning a VCE language. Coming up to any SACs and the exam, my tutor would readily provide me with detailed feedback on any practice essay I submitted, which I found significantly helped me. Overall, I'm extremely glad that I chose tutoring with Benchmark.

Verena

Akira is an attentive, knowledgeable and committed Japanese tutor that has helped me to strengthen my Japanese skills throughout the course of the year. It was particularly useful to have a tutor that has not long graduated high school, and hence understands the demands of VCE Japanese, and therefore I was able to ask him any questions about the language itself and the assessment guidelines (exams, SACS, speaking etiquette). Furthermore, Akira makes Japanese enjoyable to learn, and remained patient throughout my learning, aiding with my struggles in grammar patterns and particles, along with assisting me greatly for the speaking portion of my exam. I particularly enjoyed that the structure of the lesson was up to you - Akira would format his lessons to specifically target my areas of weakness and to address my questions. I am extremely happy with the help Akira has provided me and I recommend him without hesitation.

Why should you get a tutor?

Every year, Australia's education system only gets more and more competitive. Studies show that at least one in every four parents have gotten tutoring for their child.

Particularly in response to the effects of online learning due to COVID-19, additional coaching services outside of school hours is rapidly gaining popularity. This means that your child may be at risk of being disadvantaged in the classroom.

Of course, tutoring is not essential to score well in school, but it is true that every bit counts. In your child's case, having a dedicated and committed VCE tutor could be the make-or-break for them getting their dream VCE ATAR score.

What is the VCE?

VCE stands for the Victorian Certificate of Education — it's the final high school certificate that the majority of Victorian high school students receive in their final year of school. The VCE is also important for pathways into further education such as TAFE and University.

The VCE is made up of a minimum of 20 units and is typically studied over 2 years (5 units per semester). Subjects are normally studied across 4 units — units 1, 2, 3 and 4, with units 1 and 2 being typically completed in year 11 and units 3 and 4 being typically completed in year 12.

However the VCE also offers lots of freedom in student's learning including offering over 90 subjects. There are 4 different English subjects, 5 different mathematics and over 40 languages other than English! It is also not uncommon to see students complete unit 1/2 or 3/4 subjects a year (or more) early, or even complete their VCE across 3+ years.

At the end of VCE, all students receive an ATAR. This is the "score" that universities primarily use to select the students for their courses. However, other factors are also taken into account depending on the course, and alternative pathways are always available.

What is the ATAR?

ATAR stands for:

Australian

Tertiary

Admission

Rank

As we can see from the name, the ATAR is a ranking that is used for university (and other tertiary institutions) admission.

The key word that many people seem to overlook is "rank". Your ATAR does not directly indicate the amount of questions you got right or the amount of marks you got in the exams. It is a direct indicator as to how many students (what percentage of students) you did better than in the state.

Here's how it works.

Your highest VCE English study score and your highest 3 non-English study scores are added together. Then 10% of your 5th and 6th highest study scores (if applicable) are also added to this.

This total score is what we call your aggregate score. Your aggregate is what is used to determine your ranking for your ATAR.

Everyone has an aggregate score and now the top 0.05% of students get "assigned" a 99.95 ATAR, the next 0.05% of students get 99.90, the next 0.05% students get 99.85 and so on.

Despite the ATAR being a ranking, we still want to channel our focus into our own studies and performance. At the end of the day, that's the only thing we can control. If you need that little extra support to reach your full potential in year 12, the VCE tutors at Benchmark Tutoring can do just that.
