About this listen
You've seen the tutoring ads — the ones bragging about all their tutors getting ATARs over 99, studying medicine or law, or being dux of their schools. These ads drive me crazy because they completely miss the point.
In this episode, I explain why high ATARs don't make someone a good tutor, how tutoring companies lean into a broken VCE system, and why they make promises they can't keep. Most importantly, I'll share how students can actually beat ATAR anxiety by finding their own path — no matter what results they get.
4:02 – Doing well in school doesn't make someone a good tutor
9:04 – The VCE system is broken, and tutoring companies lean into it
10:28 – The tutoring companies are making promises they cannot keep
11:53 – How to actually beat ATAR anxiety
