A Personal Message from Bob
This is why we do what we do.
Hello!
This is Bob. I want you to know that I've personally worked with more than 220 students in English from Years 5 to 12, across a range of public and private schools in Victoria. English is not just a subject, it is a journey, one that requires a tutor who learns to work with you and your school teachers. Unfortunately, from personal experience, it is not enough just to be a good writer and to have the best essays, I am here to help with both that and the other, less-discussed side of English... How to work with teachers, how to get on their good side, and more importantly, how we work to build discipline in your writing.
As a part of Artin Education, we specialise in how I personally take my Year 12 students privately. I do NOT do group classes in Year 12, as I believe there needs to be that personal touch, each VCE English student's experience varies greatly. I've had experiences at Mac.Robertson Girls School, Melbourne High School, John Monash Science School, Glen Waverley Secondary College, Haileybury College, Scotch College, Waverley Christian College, Wesley College, Presbyterian Ladies College, Mount Waverley Secondary College, Highvale Secondary College and plenty of other schools where students in the SAME CLASS (obviously the same teacher, unless you go to John Monash, and you have the dual teacher situation) have vastly contrasting experiences of the same English subject!
Believe me, I have stories, many stories about how my students have dealt with seemingly hopeless situations, where we have come back to get a score we can be proud of (even a situation where a student was told their by their school teacher that their Argument Analysis AND Comparative Text Response essays would be 6 out of 10 at best just 7 days before the exam, and they went on to not only receive a perfect 50 Raw in VCE English, but to attain a Premiers Award).
English, although extremely subjective, is not impossible. There is a method to the madness, and I believe I can help students see through the dense, dark fog of unintelligible feedback from teachers and lack of writing direction.
I look forward to reviewing your waitlist applications, and helping as many students as I can personally!

Frequently asked questions
How long is the waiting list?
Artin Education's English program has a competitive entry process - we want to make sure students we take match our high standards. We do this because we see each student we take as someone who we truly believe in to excel, learn and enjoy English more than what most major schools believe.
Please note that due to extremely high demand, current wait list applications are expected to be processed for commencement in September 2026.
