For eng lang I found that VATE was great (attended an end of year event) in terms of learning how to improve writing & exam technique. This was in 2017

Hi guys,
Just want an updated opinion on which company in 2019-2020 do you guys think offer the best lectures? Which for the best notes and which for the best trial/practice papers. For any subjects you are familiar with! Preferably for Bio, R&S, HHD, Eng Lang and Methods.  I love AN but I want a broader view as well.

That's all folks :)

for notes I'd recommend both ATAR notes course books and Connect Education
Both are at top notch level
2019/2020 - Psychology | Biology | Chemistry | Methods | Further | English
2021 - Science @ Melbourne University

Would there be any English Language lectures or coaching programs that are run by teachers or other individuals specialised in the subject?
tutesmart does offer English Language tutoring/coaching program
They upload all their previous class videos online so you won't be disadvantaged in any way as you can access previous weeks resources from their.
Connect Education is also another coaching program and along with your tutoring you receive a complete study guide + access to their lectures for free (which cost $60 for the general public)  on the subject you are studying.

Both are similar and I'm not really sure about tutesmart but from connect I've heard that quite a few people come out with 40+ Study Scores.

Tutesmart are also doing some promotion where you can go for a free class . . . I would highly recommend doing that so you can determine if you wanna continue with them or not

 ;)

 VATE (vic association of English teachers) which I mentioned before run lectures.  Don't know about coaching.


In general, I would be sceptical of the x% of our students get __+ scores claims (from companies, schools etc) - imo most of those students would've gotten that type of score without the tutoring; the fact that those students got tutoring hints that they may have higher SES status (correlated w/ getting higher scores) and/or value VCE more since they're willing to dedicate the time and money for tutoring.

I wouldn’t say there is any ‘best’ company. What is best for you will depend on what your needs are and what your level is.

For example, I never recommend group tutoring for people who are struggling in class and falling behind. It simply doesn’t make sense.

On the the other hand, group tutoring would make a lot of sense for people who are looking to stay ahead, get extra resources and finish the course early.

Indeed. I've done months of research in regards to all aspects of VCE. I've researched on VATE before and quite frankly the lecturer for how to teach Unit 4 Eng Lang to students is my old House Coordinator who left my school last year to Scotch College this year.  I know no one cares but still.

Just wondering have you heard of TopScore Education? Thinking of getting a solid foundation for Eng Lang there. They offer group tutoring, but I don't know if the current students are struggling. The testimonials are very tempting.

Haven’t heard of the particular company but keep in mind that companies won’t be putting bad testimonials on the front page of their website :)

For Bio I can recommend Dr Has Perera, although depending on you, it might not be the best fit. He completes each topic really thoroughly sometimes including knowledge that is outside of the study design, his classes also have quite a lot of people ~30-50 and go for 4h.
(I must admit that I fell asleep in some of them lol)

You can also see Sine's post about him here -> https://atarnotes.com/forum/index.php?topic=173983.0

(If you want his number feel free to dm me)

Agree with the above that the best concise notes are Connect Education and ATAR Notes.

Generally Connect have really good summaries whilst ATAR Notes will walk you through explanations.

Also a quick reminder that double posting is against the AN forum rules. Next time please edit your previous post :)
