〝I had a great experience with Josh throughout year 12, and I can attest to his skills as a fantastic tutor! I began the year feeling unsure about my capabilities and not understanding the work required to improve in English, I lacked structure, strategy, and goals in my learning. Josh provided constant support, practical resources, and clear achievable steps for improvement. With his guidance, my writing improved significantly. He not only taught me how to write well, but also how to recognise strong writing and apply those skills independently. By the end of the year I was equipped with not only the practical skills but also the determination and confidence to achieve a great study score in VCE english. To current and future year 12 students: it is never too early or too late to start English tutoring, and I wholeheartedly recommend Josh as a fantastic tutor to guide you and help you reach your full potential.〞

〝Before beginning English Maxing I was adamant I “just wasn’t an English person” I hated the subject and couldn’t wait to be done. But through the program and the collaboration with my tutor I began to build not only confidence in my ability but also a newfound enthusiasm for the subject. The tutor was fantastic at tailoring the sessions to my individual need and acknowledging my learning style differs from others as to work towards the most optimal outcome. At the beginning of the year I had hoped for a 35 study score but was expecting lower however after participating in English Maxing I achieved a raw 41 study score for English!〞

〝I was never confident in English throughout high school. I procrastinated constantly and put in minimal effort because my grades made me feel like I just wasn’t good at it. I’d watch other students excel so effortlessly and wonder why it felt so hard for me. Everything changed when I started tutoring with English Maxing. The first thing I learned was to shift my mindset – English wasn’t nearly as impossible as I had made it out to be. Josh gave me incredibly helpful resources that expanded my vocabulary, along with clear, memorable structures that helped me finally understand how to craft strong essays. For the first time, I actually started to enjoy writing. I went from hoping to simply pass English to having it become my top subject in Year 12. I genuinely recommend joining English Maxing – it boosted my confidence, transformed the way I learn, and made English exciting and fun again.〞

〝Before these English classes with Abhi, I felt quite confused and anxious about my results for VCE English. Over time, the consistent and rigorous practice really helped me feel more confident in my writing and analysis, and I became much more at ease with English overall, especially upcoming exams. If anything could be improved, faster feedback on new essays would be great, though I completely understand that response times can be limited with university commitments.〞

〝Before our lessons, I found English really challenging, especially when it came to structuring my writing and clearly analysing arguments and texts. I often lacked confidence in my ideas and wasn’t sure how to express them effectively. Through working with Josh, my skills and confidence grew significantly. He helped me break down every section, specifically argument analysis and text response in a way that finally made sense, and my writing became much more clear and purposeful. By the time I finished the English exam, I felt extremely confident in my responses. I would highly recommend Josh to any student considering VCE English who wants to improve their writing and strengthen their writing skills, feeling more assured in sacs and on the exam.〞

〝Abhi’s vce English classes were great. I went from averaging 70% and feeling unconfident in English to an A (80%) and feeling less nervous before SACS. I felt after the class I made less mistakes when writing as we would thoroughly correct these in my past writing.〞
