VCE Economics Unit 1-2 Tutoring in Melbourne

“I think one of the main things that makes Rob just better than other tutors is just his resources and his way of teaching. It doesn’t just teach you the concepts of the maths that you need to know for the exam, but it also teaches you essential problem solving skills that you need for maybe some harder questions or separators on the exam that you might not have encountered in your practice. And that [was] essential in [getting] me this high mark.”

“The most impactful benefit I received whilst working with Rob is the confidence that he gave me, through his compendiums, practice SACs, all the work. It really allowed me to just really hone in on my skills and just develop them further to the highest level possible.”

“Working with Rob is one of the large reasons [behind] why I was able to get a Raw 50 in Spesh. Compared to other tutors that I’ve been to in the past, EdAtlas is a lot more motivational in regards to actually getting you to study”.

“I was worried about the fact that it was a slightly competitive environment. However, I do think that this competitive environment was actually what was pushing me to do my best. So I think I found it to be a really positive thing rather than a negative thing. The competitive edge that EdAtlas gives is really unparalleled in the tutoring scene.”

“Rob isn’t an ordinary math tutor, he has stories, and these stories everyone love[s] to hear because they tell you about life, they tell the mentality, they tell you how to improve. And these things are what allowed me to have the motivation and drive to improve on my maths study score but also the direction of life in general.”

“Something that stood out to me compared to other tutors is that [Rob] genuinely cares about his students – Rob is always available to talk – that kind of support system that exists outside the classroom as well, was a really big standout and really motivated me throughout VCE. I definitely don’t think that I would have been able to get a 50 in either of these subjects without [Rob and the team].”

“What makes EdAtlas so much better than the other tutoring companies I’ve worked with in the past is really the unmatched personal attention that Rob provides. Rob genuinely cares about me as a person. He really goes above and beyond with the amount of personal attention he provides to every single one of his students. His Infinity’s Playground, basically predicted the entirety of all the separators on the Methods exam last year, as well as the whole last question, all the solving methods, all the top topics, all the techniques.”

“Infinity’s Playground gave us additional insights, which enabled me to gain an extra 2-3 marks on the final exam. Without these marks, I wouldn’t have gotten a 50, or the perfect [99.95] ATAR. The impact is clear – with EdAtlas having taught every single Raw 50 in Methods that came out of Melbourne High this year.”

“The people that I’ve met at EdAtlas – there are a lot of really hard-working passionate and ambitious people. It’s not even a joke – I’ve made a bunch of friends from EdAtlas – it was definitely something I did not expect.”

“One of the most valuable assets EdAtlas has is that you can have complete confidence that their materials are perfect to the point that if you write the same answers that they provide, you will also be able to get full marks on your exam or SAC.”

“Even with the size of his cohort, [Rob] was able to spend time messaging us [and] checking up on how we were doing. Also, I was able to ask Rob for tips regarding university, just studying in general, and also future jobs. There were times [during VCE] where I felt demotivated, so I [would] message Rob to keep me accountable, and I think that’s what really helped me through Year 12.”

“The resources which we receive are genuinely a level above any other company you can get. Every question is tailor made, super specific to the study design, modelled off of past exam questions [and] past school SACs.”

“I was expecting low 40s, but EdAtlas gave me quite a few [extra] study scores on what I otherwise would have achieved if I didn’t go [here].”

“Going into Year 12, my goal was just to get a 40 raw in Spesh – I didn’t really expect to get 47 – I was kind of shocked. If I hadn’t gone to EdAtlas, I definitely would not have gotten that. I think working with Rob allowed me to get the score that I did in Spesh and that translated into getting the ATAR that I didn’t really think I was going to get. I think what really differentiates EdAtlas from other tutoring companies is that he really cares about his students. No matter your mathematical ability, he puts time into getting to know every student. The support you get is much better than other tutors [I went to].”

“I had a really clear goal in mind. I just didn’t know what I needed to do to get there. The Infinity’s Playground program – it’s really such a remarkable thing that Rob has set up for those who are willing to push themselves that extra mile. It is well beyond your expectations – within those hours that I spent at Infinity’s Playground, I was able to take onboard so many different problem solving techniques and styles to approach these questions – which I would otherwise really have no idea how to tackle.”

“I think one thing that really makes EdAtlas and just Rob stand out, compared to other tutoring companies, is how approachable and personable Rob is as a tutor. Across this year, it didn’t feel like Rob was just some distant lecturer that I was able to see once a week, but more so a close mentor, and someone who was really always there for me when I was going through difficulties.”

“EdAtlas was advertised to be really good… did it hold up? It definitely did.”

“Working with Rob very largely contributed to my ATAR – without him it would not have been possible to get my 99.95. I think that Rob in particular pushed me to aim for something above a 50 [scaled]. One of my biggest memories at EdAtlas was when Rob had this chat about study skills – about how we should behave and live our lives and habits outside of simply Specialist Maths – for me this was something that really stood out – because Rob was looking out for how we did, our whole VCE and ATAR experience as opposed to just Specialist Maths – this was something that made EdAtlas really stand out from other tutors.”

“I was worried that it wouldn’t be much of a personalised experience. When I joined Rob’s classes, I immediately felt that there was something different from his classes that he did much better than other companies.”

“There was definitely a noticeable advantage that I was given through IP (Infinity’s Playground) questions and even just Compendiums questions. There would be so many times where I’d be in class and there would be some question on the whiteboard that I would just think, I’d done a Compendium question like this, or this has been in the notes, or this has been in IP and everyone else in the class would be completely stumped by it.”

“The compendiums, the practice SACs and the Infinity’s Playground really propelled me to the next level – [they] allowed me to get 50 raw because there were no foreign question types on the exam. I also liked how Rob helped me navigate other areas of my life – like my career.”

“Something I’ve noticed from Rob is that he has a very keen eye to detail that some other tutoring companies don’t have.”

“The best thing I liked about Rob was that he was able to give personal feedback and personalised comments. And also, he not only cared about your academics, but also your mental wellbeing. He gave advice about burning out or how to deal with [challenging] life choices.”

“I remember I was aiming for a 42 [in] Methods. EdAtlas really motivated me to aim for those high scores, and definitely played a really big part in me getting the score that I got.”

“Without Rob, maybe I could’ve gotten 40s, but I could have never gotten a perfect study score.”

“At the end of Year 10, I was struggling to maintain a 90% average but a lot of people in my class were consistently getting 100%. By the end of Year 11, I was fortunate enough to get the Methods Prize [Rank 1] and achieve a 50 [raw] in Methods. Without Rob, I definitely would not have been able to achieve the study score I got.”

“Rob is not just a tutor – he is a trusted friend who will listen to your questions and your thoughts and continually support you even beyond high school – there are not many tutors out there who can really beat that.”
