VCE English & History Tutoring

Top VCE results start with specialist teachers.

InstructEd is online tutoring in VCE English and History, taught only by qualified, experienced teachers. Two subjects, taught with real depth, built around your goals.

The specialist difference

We teach two subjects, and we teach them properly.

Most tutoring services try to cover everything. We do the opposite. InstructEd focuses on VCE English and History, and nothing else. That focus is the point. It means every lesson, every resource, and every piece of feedback is built by someone who knows these subjects, the study designs, and the exams in genuine detail. Depth is what lifts results, and depth is what you get here.

A common concern

Worried online won’t suit your child?

It’s the first thing many parents think, and it’s a fair question. For senior students, the right specialist teacher matters far more than the room they are sitting in.

Our online lessons are live, personal and interactive, with real-time feedback, shared documents, and a teacher fully focused on your child. Most families who hesitate at first tell us the worry disappears after the very first session.

Not sure it’s right for your child? That’s exactly what the free consultation is for, so let’s talk it through.

“I was initially concerned about it being online rather than face to face, but that dissipated after the first session. It was so well planned, with clear, direct instruction from Yvie. Our daughter felt very good after the session. I was very impressed.”

Why InstructEd

Why students and families choose InstructEd

Qualified, experienced teachers

We are not recent graduates who happened to score well. Our team is made up of qualified teachers and pre-service teachers who understand how to teach, not just what to teach. You learn from people who do this for a living.

Specialists in English and History

By focusing on only two subjects, we know the VCAA study designs, the set texts, and the assessment criteria inside out. You get insight that a generalist simply cannot offer.

Personalised to you

There is no one size fits all program here. We build each student's tutoring around their goals, their current level, and the way they learn, so the support always fits the person in front of us.

An extension of school, not a patch over it

Our aim is not just to get you through the next SAC. It is to make you a confident, independent learner who can handle whatever VCE throws at you, this year and next.

What students and families say

If you’re looking for tutoring support, I cannot recommend more highly the services of InstructED Online Tutoring. I was initially concerned about it being online rather than face to face, but that dissipated after the first session. So well planned, with clear, direct instruction from our tutor Yvie, and totally tied into the curriculum and outcomes. Our daughter felt very good after the session. I was very impressed.

Yvie was a great support for my daughter Grace in Year 12, improving her results and confidence. She gave Grace the structure she needed for analysing arguments in both English and History, strategies for taking in the stories and detail for History, as well as great study tips. Thank you Yvie!

Yvonne has helped me to improve my overall grades in English but has also taught me important exam skills that will carry through to next year, while being really supportive and flexible.
Shevan F.Student
Yvonne really has helped me with my English skills and approaches, helping me achieve greatly improved marks compared to previous years.
Ashane F.Student
Throughout high school, English had always been my weak spot. After I started with Yvie I improved greatly, as my worry around the subject eased thanks to her guidance in helping me understand it. Watching my scores continue to improve throughout the year was definitely down to her help.
Iliana O.Student
Before I started working with Yvie, I struggled often with History and English. Help with History kept my scores high throughout the year, and for English I improved much more in my writing. She’s been a great help for me throughout the year; that extra guidance helped me succeed.
Grace F.Student
Yvie knows the curriculum back to front, meaning you can be confident her lessons cover everything you need to know. It also means she can help students understand all the necessary concepts and skills, wherever they’re at.

Ms Karfakis’ passion for teaching, personalised feedback and nurturing approach have fostered not only a love for learning but also provided a boost in my daughter’s confidence. Her teaching goes beyond the textbook, providing important context for learners as they seek to achieve their best.
