Expert teachers. Two subjects. One focus: your results.
InstructEd exists to prove that the right teacher makes all the difference.
Built by an educator, for students who want more from VCE.
InstructEd was founded by Yvonne De Giusti (née Karfakis), a qualified teacher with more than a decade of classroom experience and a background as a published textbook and resource writer. After years inside the VCE system, Yvonne saw the same thing again and again: students do not just need more hours, they need the right teaching. Schools are stretched, classes are large, and even motivated students can fall through the gaps.
InstructEd was created to close those gaps. Not with a generic program, and not with tutors who simply finished VCE a year or two ago, but with experienced teachers who understand both the subject and the student. We chose to specialise in English and History because doing two subjects exceptionally well beats doing ten subjects adequately.
What makes InstructEd different?
Experts in education, not just high achievers
Plenty of tutoring services are staffed by recent graduates who did well in their own exams. That is not the same as knowing how to teach. Our tutors are qualified teachers and pre-service teachers who understand curriculum design, assessment, and the way students actually learn. Education researcher John Hattie found that the single biggest in-school factor in student achievement is a highly skilled, dedicated teacher. That is exactly who we put in front of you.
Genuine specialists
We focus on VCE English and History. That focus means we know the study designs, the set texts, and the marking criteria at a level a generalist cannot match, and it shows in the quality of every lesson.
Personalised, always
Every student is different, so every program is different. We tailor our teaching to each student's goals, strengths, and the areas they need to build, rather than running everyone through the same script.
A partnership, not a quick fix
We are not here to cram you the night before. We are here to build the skills, confidence, and independence that carry through VCE and beyond.
Choosing InstructEd means choosing a genuine partner in your education. Let's get to work.
