Core Highlights
Key Features of Austin Education's VCE English & EAL Unit 1-4:
Curriculum Aligned with VCE Exams for Steady High-Score Development
- Year 10-11: Early introduction to key VCE exam modules, laying the groundwork for writing skills, logical thinking, and literary analysis.
- Text Response (TR): Selection of works aligned with high-frequency VCE themes to cultivate literary appreciation and build a strong foundation for Year 12.
- Crafting: Advanced training in the four VCAA writing themes(Year 10: Play and Country / Year 11: Protest and Personal Journey), helping students develop creative ideas ahead of time.
- Argument Analysis (AA): Introduced from Year 9, with progressive training in analytical skills during Year 10-11, ensuring students stay ahead of the curve.
- Year 12: Precision-based class divisions to efficiently boost SAC results.
SAC results contribute 50% of the total VCE English score, making them undeniably important. At Austin Education, our Year 12 English courses are organised according to schools and specified texts, with separate classes for AA and Crafting courses rather than large mixed groups. This unique class division allows our teachers to gain an in-depth understanding of each school’s grading criteria, preferred arguments, and writing structures. As a result, during SAC-specific revision sessions, we are able to offer targeted strategies that precisely address the areas needed for improvement. Due to this teaching advantage, Austin Education students consistently excel in SACs, with most achieving A+ or Very High results. This precise teaching method ensures that each student can perform at their best in SACs, providing a strong foundation for their final VCE English scores.
Austin Teaching Team – The Most VCAA-Savvy English Teachers in Melbourne
- We are one of only two institutions that invest annually in sending teachers to VCAA official training, ensuring our course content aligns perfectly with the latest exam criteria.
- The 2023 official VCAA high-scoring EAL sample essay was created by a student under the guidance of the Austin teaching team, showcasing the quality of our instruction.
- With an in-depth understanding of VCAA’s exam-setting logic, Austin’s textbooks and mock exams closely mirror the real VCE exams, helping students prepare with precision.
SAC Targeted Guidance for Top School Rankings
- In Year 12, classes are divided by school and set texts, providing targeted coaching based on each school’s specific marking criteria, ensuring consistently high A+ SAC results.
- Real-life example: One Glen Waverley student consistently rank 1st in SAC, with multiple students aiming for raw scores of 40+ and achieving excellent results.
- As SAC scores directly impact final VCE scores, Austin’s focused preparation significantly boosts rankings and scores, helping students reach their full potential.
Tailored Coaching for Students at All Levels
- For Foundation Students (aiming for 30+): Focused training on templates, vocabulary, and model essays to help students quickly improve their scores.
- For Advanced Students (aiming for 40+): In-depth training to enhance critical thinking, writing logic, and intellectual depth, enabling students to achieve high score breakthroughs.
- Austin’s curriculum is more systematic than those of top private schools, with Year 11 students reaching the standards of Year 12 in private schools, ensuring thorough preparation for their final exams.
Austin’s Classes – Engaging, Efficient, and Thought-Provoking
- Our full-time English teachers have an average of over 7 years of teaching experience. Their lessons are dynamic and designed to spark students’ interest in learning.
- The classroom environment is relaxed, encouraging students to think critically and express themselves, fostering deep analytical skills and boosting active engagement in English writing.
High-Standard Essay Refinement Process
One of the key factors for achieving high scores in the VCE English exam is receiving precise, personalised refinement and guidance for each essay. At Austin, our English team refines nearly a thousand student essays each year, ensuring that every essay is meticulously polished word by word. Our teachers not only focus on improving language expression and optimising structure but also guide students to think critically, expand their viewpoints, and enhance their writing logic.
In the 2023 VCE EAL VCAA Official Report, a sample essay was submitted by an Austin student.
Austin teachers accurately predicted the essay topic, led students through practice, and meticu- lously refined this particular piece.
At most day schools, essay corrections often only provide simple feedback. However, at Austin, we insist on in-depth revisions and one-on-one communication, helping students truly understand and improve their writing skills. We do not encourage rote memorisation, but instead, through a systematic revision process, we cultivate students’ independent thinking and high-quality writing abilities.
Our high-standard essay refinement process includes five core steps, ensuring that every student can achieve their best performance in SACs and exams.

Detailed Evaluation of the Essay
When our teachers receive a student’s essay, the first step is to analyse its overall quality.Are the arguments convincing? Is the writing clear and concise? Does it address the topic effectively? These are the key aspects we carefully evaluate. This thorough initial assessment lays the foundation for more detailed revision feedback.
Sentence Polishing
After evaluating the overall quality of the essay, Austin teachers proceed with a second round of adjustments focused on refining language expression. We elevate simple phrases to more sophisticated and appropriate alternatives, correct grammar mistakes, streamline lengthy expressions, and add content where necessary to strengthen key points. These changes ensure that any obvious issues in the article are addressed, making the writing more impactful and logical.
Refining Arguments
Once the surface-level issues are addressed, Austin teachers dive deeper into the core of the essay. In this step, teachers engage in in-depth discussions with students, guiding them to critically examine their arguments. This process helps students refine their viewpoints, making them more distinct and profound, while also strengthening the persuasiveness of their points. Through this first exchange of ideas between teacher and student, the essay’s evidence becomes more compelling, and the overall structure becomes more logical.
Structure Adjustment
After refining the arguments and enhancing the depth of viewpoints, Austin teachers help students adjust the structure of their essays. A well-written essay requires a clear and logical structure that highlights its depth and persuasiveness. Austin teachers work with students to reorganise paragraph order, ensuring that each section is well-connected and flows smoothly.
Exemplary Paragraphs
To help students better understand the improvements, Austin teachers write a few optimised sample paragraphs. By comparing them, students can clearly see the differences between their work and high-scoring essays, while also identifying areas for improvement in their original paragraphs. As always, Austin focuses not just on making quick fixes, but on enhancing students’ critical thinking and writing techniques at the root level.
