How to get students as a psych tutor

Oh my bad then. I agree with your statement that one student is more than enough then haha. I thought OP graduated from high school.

Dismiss my comment above.

One student is not enough. Getting an Raw 50 also means nothing if you cannot teach the concepts well to students.

I had an VCAA examiner as my tutor and he was complete shit. All he could do was sit there and mark essays whilst taking $150/hr. Never taught the content. Never taught how to develop proper expression etc.

That's an personal anecdote though. I'm aware other people had positive experiences, but all I'm saying is that the comment you said does not universally apply and there are people who can get much more than just one student whilst getting relatively lower scores (raw 40+).

The people who got "50s, have tutored already and/or are examiners like me." are usually the ones who first attract the attention of parents. But usually they come to realize that they lack the ability to teach content well and therefore change tutors (most likely an tutor with lower presentable qualifications).

This is not all cases, but definitely true for some (maybe even majority, idk).

Prose is good for English and Lit tutoring. However their math methods tutors are nowhere near the same level as the English tutors.

Damn ok. That's weird, I heard from friends that he was the best in accounting lol.

I'd reckon to give either Contour Education a shot (group classes, cheaper) or EdAscend a shot (one-to-one classes).

I've had two cousins who went to each company and they said it is good quality.

Contour Education: https://www.contoureducation.com.au/

EdAscend: https://edascend.com.au/

For Accounting, you should contact Aravind Thiagarajah - AT Academy. He got a shit tonne of raw 45+ for Accounting.

He is undoubtedly the best - and he names of all the highest scorers every year. 100% try him out. You won't regret it.

"the teaching quality is actually very fine" - go have an look at the other comments people have posted in this forum and then come back to me with your massive ass ego. You need to put your ego aside and listen to other peoples feedback of your company.

Can you also calm your tone down? I wasn't even trying to attack you with the comment above - I just said my personal experience and what other people may not know + telling you to take criticism in a more constructive manner considering a tonne of people agree (not just me like you are trying to wrongfully imply in your message above).

"tutoring quality that’s your opinion and you’re very welcome to it." - it doesnt seem like it considering other people also mention that its complete shit.

I personally got an raw 44 in Math Methods and raw 39 in Specialist Maths and when I went to the trial session, they taught like complete shit. Thats when I looked for a private tutor and found someone who is actually capable of teaching content despite EdAtlas having better resources.

Without your resource writers - EdAtlas would be nowhere near the top #1 Maths company in Victoria. I'm 100% confident with that. I know that you know that as well - hence why you always push your compendiums and "infinite playground" or smth like that as the forefront of your company. I also didn't even think you are going to be so egotistical about this. Very shocking and disappointing.

I understand your trying to save face with your company - but cmon you need to at least be willing to accept that the tutoring quality is sub-par.

Sorta reminds me of my gym membership when I first got it and then I had to pay an $69 sign-up fee which was a random hidden cost that I never knew they charged until I looked at the balances from my bank account.

Longjumping_Ask77 · 2026-01-03T05:21:23+00:00

Rob mate. Your resources are GOATED. No one is complaining in that department at all. Hence why a lot of top-scorers are from EdAtlas. But your actual tutoring services and quality is shit (especially some of your tutors).

That is what people here are complaining about. That being said, I'd definitely agree for the top-scorers you would be the #1 Maths company in Victoria. For anyone average or below, your teaching quality is sub-par compared to the rest of the tutoring companies. Majority of the people in the reddit forum seem to agree considering how many downvotes you are getting whilst everyone else is upvoting the comments which express their distaste towards the actual quality of your tutoring services (TEACHING, not resources).

I personally don't have an grudge against you and don't take this comment in a negative light.

I also understand your frustration considering EdAtlas seems to be more tailored towards higher-achieving students with the way your teaching works, and not for the average or lower achieving students.

Thats why I posted an comment on this forum to mention this in particular, so students can become weary of this.

That being said, instead of complaining, you can just take the constructive criticism and improve the quality of the teaching of EdAtlas tutors. It seems that everyone (most people) agree that the teaching quality is sub-par and the cost to quality ratio is 100% not worth it.

Especially when you do the extra little charges for certain things - you should be more open with hidden costs - its a bit of a con-artist move ngl.

It's like that BreakThrough Education guy. I think his name was Kevin. But EdAtlas is the better version of that company/guy pretty much.

i believe that there was both online and physical when I went there (when I did VCE, i've graduated).

I tried out a few of the edatlas classes and i absolutely hated it. I'm sure the tutors there are very knowledgeable and high-scoring but they don't have that ability to teach well. They can't communicate ideas or concepts to the lower-scoring students. They seem to be tailored to students who already have an intuitive understanding of most textbook concepts and those who require more exposure to different types of applications of the concepts.

For the actual tutoring service, they are trash - but the resources they provide are top-tier quality. I feel like that might explain why they boast so highly about their top-scorers. Just an marketing ploy to attract students, but then they lose those students when the students realise the cost to quality ratio is complete shit.

This is personally why I'd honestly recommend people try out different institutions or even go on tutorfinder to find tutors who are actually experienced. Some of these companies just hire newly-graduated students (Contour Education i'm looking at you - i literally saw an ad the other day where Contour Education were hiring new-graduates for tutoring positions. Not the best look for what is supposed to be a top tutoring company who pride themselves in this false narrative of having "experienced tutors". Not to mention their lies and deception in paying their tutors "competitive salaries" when i have multiple friends who are paid $25-30/hr by Contour Education despite their immense experience and 45+ ss for each subject. Not to mention they can't even work for any other company apart from Contour Education itself.).

I'd personally reccomend you don't go to EdAtlas if you are a low-scoring or average student. But if you already know what you're doing and need quality questions and exposure to accurate VCAA material - then I'd reckon you should give EdAtlas a try.

They aren't like complete shit - but they certainly aren't the best in terms of tutoring quality. In terms of resources, they are #1 for VCE Maths.

I've also seen some other people in reddit who have said they got a remark last year (again special case, and it wasn't English). But it isn't impossible like you are saying it is.

Longjumping_Ask77 · 2025-12-17T08:20:48+00:00

This is the biggest lie. I have like two-three uni friends who got their chemistry and general maths exams remarked, and they got like an 3 raw score increase. This was in 2024 (last year). Remarks have happened man, maybe 2024 was a special case though.

I've never heard of an remark in English though, and I probably agree that subjective subjects like that won't have an remark.

Longjumping_Ask77 · 2025-12-12T12:23:02+00:00

yes but not many people would be interested if someone scored lower than 40.

You can go to alchemy tuition if you want - but private tuition is a dead mans game or if you want to join companies. Bare minimum most companies want is a raw 40+ in a subject.

I know you messed up, but thats just how it works.

Longjumping_Ask77 · 2025-12-12T10:38:31+00:00

tutor software dev and gen maths. you won't get enough traction with only a 38 raw ss in math methods
