“Tricia was the fairy godmother of English for me, she absolutely saved my mark. She helped affirm that everything was going to be okay, she was very supportive and would help me enhance upon what I was already doing well.” -

“My tutor Hannah was very supportive. She was amazing at providing me with lots of feedback on my practice essays, was always available to help me polish my responses and answer my questions and I knew I could rely on her to help me!” -
Anika Blackwell

“My school was really tough about taking in practice essays so I was only allowed to hand in one per term. I was someone who relied on constant feedback so it really helped to have that. I was able to send them to the tutor as much as I wanted and that was awesome for me. Sometimes I wasn’t entirely sure if something would work, and having assurance really helped. ” -
Campbell Henderson

“My tutor really kept me grounded. When I got a bad mark she wouldn’t stress. Instead we would go through essays and identify where I could improve and what I could do for next time to improve my argumentation, and expression. ” -
Abbey-Rose Coules

“After getting 55% in my first Year 12 English assessment I started tutoring with Art of Smart. Millie helped me plan exactly what I needed to be doing for English, and I built a great personal connection with Millie - this helped motivate me to do work and submit practice questions each week, which Millie would then provide me with feedback to help me improve.” -
“My tutor Ian was great because he knew exactly what it took to get a top mark in English. He was able to show me what it required to articulate well in an essay. Ian was a great support base to show me what I had to be doing and how I had to be writing!”

Chloe Kaltoum

“I received a disappointing mark of 67 in my English Trials, and Jess helped me get perspective that Trials are hard and helped me bounce back for my HSC. She helped me develop more depth in the analysis of my essays. I was doing two essays per week, sending them to Jess, and she kept giving me feedback so I could improve quickly!” -
Hamish Jacka
20% Improvement in English
“I struggled in Year 11 scoring around 70% despite working hard. I found it confusing and I almost dropped down to Standard, but instead started with Art of Smart. My tutor Agape helped me calm down, focus on one thing at a time, and guide me through what was needed for the task. The quick feedback loop on my writing helped accelerate the process of improving... it wasn't like I had to wait weeks to fix something.” -
Koushik Anand Pirabu
10% Improvement in English
“Katie was an excellent tutor! I would write draft essays every week and get feedback from Katie. I'd then redo the essay and enhance it, before resubmitting it. This meant that by the time I was submitting something in an exam, it was usually a fourth or fifth draft, and Katie's feedback was critical in helping me score a Band 6! ” -
Kiana Gashtirajaie

“My tutor didn’t just pile on things for me to do and then say, do them and I’ll see you next week. She made sure that I understood what was given to me and that I could actually do them, and maybe if I’d missed a few things one week, she’d go back and make sure I understood.” -
David Ko

“I had no clue about quotes, techniques, or analysis. My tutor Rahul helped me really understand what the author was talking about and how to link my analysis back to the question to make sure it was relevant. Overall, he helped me write much better essays to actually get good marks!” -
Keean Van Elven
17% Improvement in English
“One of my biggest kind of weaknesses was understanding the content and having ideas to write about. Patrick made sure that I'd have a more developed understanding and he taught me what to write in my intros, bodies and conclusions and the structures to use. I would write essays send them to my tutor, who would give me feedback, and I would re-write the most critical areas using the advice!” -
Tom Iraninejad

“Art of Smart’s English tutoring is amazing. Hannah would just drill things into my head and then eventually I got it. She also provided emotional support when I was feeling very upset about exams — she would calm me down and helped motivate me.”
