How personalised tutoring helped Drew go from struggling with structure to writing with confidence — and scoring results she never thought possible.
My confidence skyrocketed. Before tutoring, I didn’t really know what I was doing. That confidence was critical going into the final three-hour exam.

Drew came to Mathstar with real struggles and left with real results. Here’s what changed — and how.
Step One
Drew was getting 30% for her essays back then. She didn’t have good essay structure, wasn’t embedding quotes, and her analysis was too basic. In her essays, she kept retelling the story rather than analysing it — a habit that was hurting her grades.
Step Two
Our tuition sessions targeted her exact weaknesses. She learned to build sophisticated arguments within great essay structure, perform much deeper analysis, and break the storytelling habit through structured, tailored feedback.

Step Three
With those changes, Drew moved into the high 80s and 90s — faster than she ever expected. Her grades skyrocketed. She walked into her 3-hour final exam with real confidence and the skills to back it up.
Before I started tutoring, my grades were sitting in the 30s to 40s. I knew that needed to change — English is a top-four subject with a significant impact on your ATAR.
My confidence skyrocketed. Before tutoring, I didn’t really know what I was doing. That confidence was critical going into the final three-hour exam — you need to trust your instincts.
I’d absolutely recommend it to students who want to build their confidence — especially those willing to put in the work. English tutoring is a 50/50 team effort, and that cycle of feedback is what leads to great results.
English is a top-four ATAR subject. For Drew, the improvement wasn’t just a number — it was the confidence to trust herself in the exam room.
“The feedback shifted from ‘you’re doing this wrong’ to ‘how can we fix this and improve?’ I quickly saw results — moving into the high 80s and even 90s. I didn’t expect that to happen so quickly.”
Sessions were tailored to exactly where Drew was struggling — not a generic program, but a plan built around her.
Write a paragraph. Get it marked. Fix it. Repeat. The discipline of that cycle is what drove Drew’s results.
Drew walked into her 3-hour English exam trusting herself — knowing she’d been taught beyond surface-level analysis.
