Sofie Wilcox

English [45], Legal Studies [45], HHD [45]

My name is Sofie Wilcox and I’m a third year student at the University of Melbourne, majoring in Psychology and Sociology. I have been tutoring VCE English and Psychology for almost 5 years, have published a study guide, curated a statewide curriculum for Year 10 English and have given holiday lectures to over 200 students. I have a deep passion for education and assisting students to reach goals along their academic journey. Being able to have the support of a tutor allowed me to excel in my studies, as I was the recipient of the LaTrobe Law School Excellence Award for being DUX of VCE Legal Studies two years in a row. One of my key values is compassion, and with my studies in Adolescent Psychology and volunteering at Lifeline, I take extra time and care with each student to check in with how they are feeling, particularly around exam time that is often riddled with stress.

Hi! My name is William and I’m currently studying Pharmaceutical Science and Chemical Engineering at Monash University, having completed the VCE in 2019.

I wish everyone all the best in English and the VCE this year, and if you see me in the office don’t hesitate to say hi!

I’ve won multiple writing, public speaking, and VCE awards, both nationally and internationally. I love passing my passion for learning on to my students!

Brian Vu - ATAR 99.15

English (EAL) [50]
Hi! My name’s Brian and I’m a third year Bachelor of Science student at Melbourne University, majoring in Data Science. My main passion is with Mathematics, but in my spare time I often read books and occasionally write stories. I graduated in 2019 from Northcote High as the EAL dux of my school. While I don’t have significant tutoring experience, I’ve worked along with other talented tutors, such as Lindsey, so I believe I can help students improve significantly in their EAL studies.

Khue Nguyen- ATAR 98.05

English (EAL) [48]
Hi, my name is Khue Nguyen! I am a third-year Bachelor of Commerce student at The University of Melbourne. I graduated VCE in 2019 with a 98.05 ATAR and a raw 48 for EAL, so I am confident that I know what I’m talking about when I’m teaching (hopefully)! Aside from tutoring, I love joining community service projects, photography, and analysing Korean dramas the way you would a literature piece. I enjoy talking to students and help them in any way I can (especially knowing how it feels in VCE), so feel free to message me if you have any concerns!

Giorgia Benini - ATAR 98.70

Literature [41], Italian [50], Media [44]
Hi! My name is Giorgia and I am currently studying the Bachelor of Arts at Melbourne University, majoring in History with Literature electives. I graduated in 2018 with an ATAR of 98.7 and I’m currently working towards a career in secondary teaching. I love writing and being able to merge my passions for literature, the social sciences, film studies and history, and hope to render this knowledge useful to anyone struggling with VCE. Essays can seem like big scary monsters at first but I firmly believe everyone has the potential to write something they can truly be proud of!
