Our lessons are tailored to your needs, and can assist you with as many areas as required. We can provide you with a couple of lessons as a lead-in to one or both of the exams, or work as a tutor to supplement your VCE classes throughout terms 3 and 4. Our lessons are flexible and can be organised to suit your timetable, whether after school, before school, or during free periods.
We work for young adults, many of whom have large costs associated with each unit they take. Because of this, we try to keep our lessons cheap and straightforward to organise.
Organising a Lesson
The first lesson with Ellen McCarthy Music is always free! This is so we can establish where you’re at and what you need to work on. We’ll also go over how many lessons you require and your timetable. After that, all VCE Exam Preparation lessons are $30 a session.
The VCAA Website
All of the details of what your exams require stem from VCAA, the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority. We keep up-to-date on all of this information straight from the source, so that you will not be caught out on exam day. We can provide you with sample exams from previous years, as well as practice exams written by us according to VCAA guidelines. As the resources that VCAA provides can occasionally be difficult to understand, we will walk you through each requirement to get you prepared and exam-ready.
