For the ultimate learning experience and the most in-depth preparation for your SACs and exams, nothing comes close to our VCE Master Clases.
Our VCE Master Classes are specialised weekly tuition programs designed to ensure that students reach their full potential, be that a two-grade improvement or the elite A and A+ scores. Just as importantly, this program enables students to complete their exam preparations well ahead of their state-wide VCE peers, reducing stress levels and study loads in the challenging weeks before the end of year exams.
To ensure you achieve the highest possible ATAR, we use qualified, experienced VCE teachers who are current or recent VCE exam assessors (VCAA) – not unqualified university students who performed well in their VCE.
VCE Master Class Results 2021
If you’re determined to get the best possible results, our Master Classes won’t disappoint! Year after year, students attending our Master Classes achieve amazing results.

Why Choose TSFX?
Your final years at school are quite challenging, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Having extra support and guidance from key education professionals can make all the difference—giving you the best chance of achieving your ATAR goals.
However, caution is key.
There are significant differences in quality between lecture/seminar providers and producers of VCE resources. There are variations in teaching philosophies and styles, the experience and qualifications of writers and lecturers, how thoroughly subject materials are addressed, and the quality and quantity of written support materials that are given to students.
So how does TSFX differ from other lecture/program providers?
How We Differ
To ensure you receive every possible advantage in your VCE, our programs are prepared and delivered by hand-picked, qualified, experienced VCE teachers and VCE exam assessors (VCAA) from top performing schools. Our teachers include writers and markers of the VCE exams (VCAA), authors of VCE textbooks, as well as leading experts in their subject fields. Their wealth of experience is priceless.
Note:
The majority of university students who present VCE lectures and tuition classes have not received formal instruction in most of the topics they’re teaching. These students graduated before many VCE subjects underwent significant changes to their Study Design and are self-taught, using limited information that doesn’t cover the scope required for the higher VCE marks.
Furthermore, recent VCE graduates lack the knowledge and experience required to teach students how to set out answers in accordance with the VCE exam marking schemes. This information is usually restricted to VCE exam assessors – the teachers appointed by VCAA to mark the VCE exams. VCE exam assessors also have access to important information that other teachers aren’t aware of, and which can make a huge difference to your VCE marks.
Learning from the people who assess the VCE exams and who teach your subjects every day will always exceed the benefits of learning from university students who recently completed their VCE. Experience is the best teacher, and an important asset at this end-game stage of the VCE.
The role of TSFX is to build on the teaching that takes place in schools and to provide students with as many academic advantages as possible. This includes:
- Correcting problem areas and building confidence
- Focusing on the more challenging concepts and topics
- Reviewing and expanding on what’s been covered at school
- Developing strong problem-solving and analytical skills
- Covering a wide variety of potential examination questions
- Exposing the different tricks and traps that appear in exams
- Teaching strategies, skills and techniques for effective exam taking
- Guiding students through their exam revision in the most benefical and effective way
- Benefiting from other teachers’ (different) perspectives
- Discovering how to achieve above-average examination marks
- Developing effective study habits
- Learning time-saving learning techniques
- Boosting VCE marks

Elite VCE Teachers
You will be taught by and receive up to date advice from official VCE exam assessors (the focus of the exams and the marking schemes change on a regular basis). VCE exam assessors have access to important information that many teachers aren’t aware of, and which can make a significant difference to your ATAR result.
Knowing how the exam marking system works also gives VCE exam assessors the ability to guide you through the exam preparation process in the quickest and most effective way. You’ll spend your time revising what really matters, and you can’t get that kind of guidance from recent high school graduates who have no teaching experience, and who don’t have access to the detailed insights our teachers provide.
