"My coach helped me plan my week & organize myself, which allowed me to achieve my best. My study plan balanced work with rest & ensured all subjects were adequately dealt with. Mentoring, coupled with weekly coaching saw my marks improve - I achieved 95% in the Trials, and 99% in the HSC!"

Sujith, 1st in State HSC Economics, 99+ ATAR

"Joining Art of Smart Education was probably the most important decision I made during my HSC and ultimately determined what ATAR I received. My two coaches for Ext 2 Maths and Economics gave me great guidance on not only the subject material but also advice on how to do well in the HSC."

Tushar Menon, 98.3 ATAR, 20% Mark Improvement

"I joined Art of Smart after my marks dropped to 60%. However, upon joining AOS, I began to see results almost instantly. With weekly coaching, I managed to achieve 1st place in my Year 12 Trials thanks to the clear and simple steps for success laid out for me by my coach."

Ming Yu, ATAR 97.1, 33% Improvement

"Coaching with AOS helped me to extend my knowledge with several concepts to a level at which my classmates had not achieved yet. My coach's method of communication coupled with his ability to easily represent diagrams & concepts was extremely useful in helping me achieve a Band 6."

Judd Sherr, 98.75 ATAR, 12% Improvement

"Our Art of Smart coach's passion for Modern History, communication style and commitment to helping our son achieve great results paid off. Our son re-engaged with the subject as a result of our coach’s in depth understanding of the topics and his interesting interactive approach to tutoring."

Isaac Miyakawa, 95.1 ATAR, 6 Hours Coaching = 1st Place in School

"The concepts are explained in a far easier way compared to what I learn in school, so that helps with learning the content. Coaching has helped with essay writing as well as note taking & improving my exam technique which has always been a weak area for me."

Brownyn Lee, ATAR 98, 15% Improvement

"Coaching has given me greater depth in understanding and a more 'complete picture' of things. I also received greater and more specific feedback especially in relation to essays. The best thing about my coach is he knows so much about the subject and is also really easy to talk & relate to."

Ashling Lee, ATAR 98.55, 12% Improvement

"I am so glad that I joined Art of Smart Education because before joining I thought I would of get a mystery mark for my ATAR, (when you get below 30!). I ended up doubling my marks for Business Studies, so I kicked ass and have now made it into the university course of my choice!"

Olivia Dargent, ATAR 93.4, 19% Improvement

"The best thing about our coach was her willingness to help. She was very calm, patient and keen to help. Without AOS Olivia would have never received the marks she got or got into UTS to study her chosen degree Midwifery."

Sarah Foti, 77 ATAR, 42% Improvement

"Emma was really struggling - if it wasn't for the lessons with our AOS coach she would not have passed. Prior to coaching she was struggling to even pass and now Emma has the ATAR she needs to study Primary School or Early Childhood Teaching."

Emma Hislop, ATAR 78.5, 30% Improvement

"Markus results doubled throughout the year thanks to coaching with Art of Smart. The best thing about our coach was the way he explained everything and when Markus did not understand he would keep going over it until he does. We have already recommended AOS to lots of other people!"

Marcus Burst, ATAR 65, 38% Improvement

"Gaby improved dramatically after having coaching with AOS. Prior to coaching with AOS, Gaby's marks were very ordinary, but after weekly sessions with both of our coaches, Gaby managed to dramatically transform her marks in both Advanced English & History."

Gaby Watson, ATAR 96.3, 29% Improvement

"Dean only needed an ATAR of 60 however our AOS coach pushed him saying they need to set a goal much higher than 60 as she thought he could achieve a lot more. Dean set a goal for 75, exceeded this, and also got a scholarship to do accounting!"

Dean Laughton, ATAR 79.85, 33% Improvement

"Our coach is very confident, efficient, she knows her stuff. She has established a good rapport with my teenage son, and he liked her, which is important. The plan our coach is implementing will help Jack improve his exam technique and confidence. He has already been utilizing her advice & tips which has been excellent."

Jack, Year 9 Maths

"During weekly coaching sessions our AOS coach has been covering material that is often being taught at school not long after the lessons and Dylan has been able to participate in class which he wasn't able to do previously. Dylan recently questioned the teacher on an answer and was proved right."

Dylan Biviano, Year 10 Maths & English

"My AOS coaches have been teaching me memory techniques and how to revise. Additionally they have lots of experience in their topics which has lead to me learning things that other students have not yet learnt or teachers have not covered!"

Michael Stavroulakis, Year 10 English/Maths, 2nd Overall in Class

"I must say Claire has found our AOS coach approachable and direct - she gave me a great plan of action of what she was going to achieve with my daughters; a mix of going through new stuff to be a head as well as revision."

Claire Bonney, Year 8 English/Maths

"Shane was able to grasp concepts much easily thanks to weekly lessons. We were also pleased with the improvements, and particularly surprised at how quickly he had become familiar with the topics covered. With coaching, Shane improved from a 'D' in his Year 9 Half Yearly exam to a 'B' in his Final exam."

Shane Flanagan, Year 9 Maths

"Our coach marks their work before the class so my sons have a chance to correct them before going in. This way they learn from their mistakes. Our coach gives them lots of feedback, has very clear communication and works hard to get the boys interested in their work."

Aidon & Brandon Cornwall, Year 7 & 9 English

"Noami's Maths results have improved significantly - from a ranking of roughly 40th, to a 3rd in the class! She has consistently done very well on her topic tests and half-yearlies, achieving a rank in the top 10 for all the tests so far which has been amazing."

Noami Whittaker, Year 9 Maths

"Our coach is always very reliable, well prepared and organized. She is also very good at explaining things in a very easy to understand way which Adriana loves."

Adriana, Year 9 Maths

"Our coach has been very helpful by going through all the things Claudia needs help with. Claudia is finding the lessons very helpful. Our coach is very prepared and reliable."

Claudia, Year 8 Maths

"When Brian started coaching he had low self esteem when it came to presenting. He was also extremely unmotivated when it came to doing homework. Now he has not only written a speech with his coach but enjoyed it so much he wrote another by himself and is presenting in front of his family members."

Brian, Year 5, English

"Thanks to coaching with AOS, Billy's confidence, motivation and enthusiasm has improved. He is enthusiastic about doing his homework and in particular, demonstrated confidence with the fractions in his homework. Generally, he is putting in the effort and enjoying school work more. His results have also improved markedly, as has his general confidence and motivation."

Billy, Year 5, Maths

"Since starting coaching with AOS, there has been a huge improvement in Bella's confidence and with her problem solving skills. When she started coaching she needed some help with completing her homework but now she does it all on her own and has even started doing some Year 7 work on her own as well."

Bella, Year 6, Maths

"Our AOS coach taught Stephanie the techniques required to sit the Selective Schools test and be successful. She established a good relationship and rapport with Stephanie and identified Stephanie's weaknesses and then taught her the required strategies to address these."

Stephanie, Year 6, Selective School Prep

"Shanna has gained a lot of confidence since she started coaching. Usually Shanna is one of those students who usually knows the right answer but is not confident enough to say it. I have seen a big change in her & she has become a lot more confident in her ability."

Shanna, Year 3 Maths

"Thomas needed discipline and routine to get serious study completed. When he started coaching his marks in Maths & English was 60-70%, however with consistent weekly work on his timetables, fractions, long multiplication, addition, division & subtraction he achieved 79% for Maths and 88% for English, which he was very proud of."

Thomas, Year 4, Maths, English & OC Prep

"Lessons are going very well. Rachel is really good and the kids have established a great rapport. Rachel has a great teaching style."

Klara & Stefan, English & Selective Schools Prep

"As soon as both girls met our AOS coach they fell in love. They are so motivated to do their school work and always so excited to have lessons. Our coach is fantastic."

Celina & Liliana, Year 2 & 4, Englishp
