Real change in VCE English is rarely a single leap. It looks like a contention that finally takes a side, a language analysis section that stops feeling like guesswork, and an essay finished calmly before the clock runs out.
Reviews
In their words
Former students of The English Kit.
"I sought Kit’s tutoring to help me achieve the English score I needed for university. His method and approach to teaching significantly improved my understanding of the English curriculum and my essay writing abilities. Even to this day, ten years later, I still use the fundamental skills I learnt with Kit."
"The English Kit's breakdown of essay structure was so good compared to how they taught it at high school. It was crazy to me, because it showed how bad the school's approach was. I used the paragraph structure The English Kit taught me for my uni pre-selection kit, so the knowledge has stuck around."
"I had an excellent English tutor. He was patient and provided valuable and helpful feedback on practice essays and encouraged me to think deeper about the texts. He also taught me how to approach topics from different perspectives so that I was well equipped for any prompt given. He overall made English less of a daunting subject and helped me feel more comfortable and prepared for my VCE exams."

Confidence in the examAdeleneYear 12, 2025Low Bs to high As
"I have only good words to say about Kit and his teaching, he was an excellent tutor - extremely knowledgeable and full of insights. He's the only tutor I've had where I've left each class feeling confident and inspired to do more. He helped me climb from low Bs to high As, and I still carry a lot of his teachings with me many years later. I really enjoyed these classes, and would highly recommend Kit to anyone who wants to improve in their essay writing and analytical skills."

"Kit tutored me through Year 12 English and took me from a good English student to getting the highest study score in my year level. He is encouraging, provides specific and detailed feedback in a timely manner and built my confidence throughout the year. I couldn't recommend him more highly."

"Kit was my VCE English tutor, and what set him apart was the time he invested in me. He pinpointed my strengths and weaknesses and shared his own experience to help me improve. He had a deep understanding of the coursework and worked through them with me, all while making the content enjoyable. I was very thankful to have him as a tutor!"

"I was lucky to have Kit as my private tutor throughout VCE, and it completely changed how I approached English. He had a way of pushing me to think outside the box, and helped me come up with ideas that were so unique that my own teachers at school were genuinely impressed. I went from constantly overthinking and freezing up when trying to write, to having ideas flow so naturally it felt effortless. In the beginning, I was blown away at how he could think and write the way he did, but somewhere along the way he transformed me into that kind of thinker too. I went from being an average English student to achieving a 40+ study score, and a huge part of that came down to his support and guidance."

"Starting early meant I wasn't scrambling to learn essay structure in Year 12. By the time Unit 3 came around, the jump felt small."

"Timed writing every single week built the stamina I didn't have. By October I could plan and finish a full essay without watching the clock."

Featured story
Adelene's two years to a confident exam
Adelene — Year 12, 2025
"Kit has helped improve my English writing and understanding of the course while tutoring me from term 4, 2024 till the end of my VCE in 2025. He is very patient, kind and is great at explaining concepts, essay/paragraph structures and at highlighting strengths and areas for improvement in supportive and encouraging ways. His friendly teaching style made the work feel less oppressive, and studying English and practising my writing skills became more enjoyable for me to learn.
"After having completed my exam, I can say with Kit's help that I gained confidence in my writing. With his advice I managed to stay calm during the exam which had allowed me to concentrate and remember necessary elements of what I had studied, not only for English but my other subjects too. I am thankful for his help and I highly recommend him to other students."
