Why Choose TSSM?

There are many reasons why we are the premier VCE education institution in Victoria. Trust TSSM to help you be the best you can be!

Great teachers are just the beginning!

You will benefit from the very best teachers who are able to simplify important concepts in an interesting manner. Our teachers are friendly and approachable, so you will be comfortable asking questions at any time during the session.

Our teachers mark the official exams!

Not only are our teachers friendly and approachable, but the majority of TSSM teachers mark the official VCAA exams that you will be sitting during year 12. 

This is a huge advantage as our teachers can guide you through how to maximise your exam mark by answering questions a certain way, the way that the assessors require them answered.

• '"Some very good tips from Pat who is an assessor, so a lot of stuff was from his first-hand experience." Mr. Peter Woolfe (Teacher)
• "This program really cleared up some gaps in my knowledge and showed me specifically how to answer exam questions for maximum marks." Laura Wiseman

Improve your confidence, motivation and understanding!

Yes. You can achieve all of this by attending TSSM programs. Students find our programs extremely beneficial when preparing for their exams or the semester ahead. We can help you improve your subject understanding, get motivated to succeed and feel better about your ability to perform in a particular subject. 

How can we achieve all of this?  With the most appropriate VCE teaching methodologies and specific programs you too can feel confident about your VCE.

• '"I gained extra motivation and understanding in my studies as well as extra confidence. TSSM was the best thing I did for my schooling." Natalie Studdert
• '"This program was very helpful. I feel more confident about my exam and have gained more knowledge than what I've learnt at school. This was worth the money. My presenter was awesome!" Thanh Lam
• "I have gained a lot of confidence and a great head start to Unit 3 P.E. Jason was a great teacher with a lot of knowledge who made things very clear and easy to understand." Jana Bakas
• "Thank you TSSM, this is my final revision lecture EVER for year 12, I have attended many over the past 2 years, and you've helped me greatly in improving confidence and giving high standard lectures." Kimberley Jungalwalla

Small interactive classes

TSSM has developed a brilliant reputation for maintaining small class sizes, even for lecture style programs. Our End-of-Year revision programs (our largest) are also not held in auditoriums, rather classrooms or small lecture theatres. To maintain our vision of "helping VCE students be the best they can be", we are committed to maximising student-teacher interaction through smaller class sizes.

You will find our small class sizes an important strategy for your VCE success as you be able to get your questions answered during the session.

• "I liked the small class sizes. It was less intimidating to ask questions. I have been to lectures in universities that I didn't want to ask questions in." Eliza Johnson
• "I enjoyed the opportunity to discuss Life of Pi with Jean. Her Passion for the book led to many engaging and philosophical discussions and brought new ideas to the table while open to my own. Her genuine desire to help her students was evident in her additional notes constructed to identify key ideas and offering further help beyond what was expected. The session was of high quality and the small class size was a plus!" Zoe Glen-Norman

Reduce your pre-exam stress levels by attending TSSM

We all know what it is like to be too stressed. Low levels of stress are beneficial, however when we exceed our stress threshold we can be a detriment to our selves and hence our VCE performance is likely to decrease.

TSSM can help you stay in relaxed mental state optimal for learning pre-exams. Through the most detailed revision available, the most effective teaching methodologies and the best teachers, you will feel far more ready to tackle your VCE exams. Let us help you peak at the right time and have your stress levels in check prior to your exams.

• "It was very helpful to my school studies as topics that were new to everyone else, were revision to me, which in turn took stress of my overall studies." Zac Carter-Madej

Comprehensive subject material

You will receive the most comprehensive study notes specifically prepared for each program. These notes are written by our experienced team of teachers most of whom are VCAA assessors.

Our subject materials are written in a clear and easy to follow format consisting of:

• Detailed Theory - on all areas of study, as prescribed by the study design for each subject.
• Detailed Examples - are part of each topic, in every section of each chapter.
• Examination Focused Study Notes - ensuring that valuable study time is not wasted.
• No Gaps, Spaces or Empty Boxes - Unlike other educational providers, TSSM provides students with complete study notes. Our view is that expert teachers are employed to spend time enhancing and sharpening a student’s ability in the subject in order to improve their ATAR, rather than to waste valuable time dictating information.
• No cutting, pasting, photocopying or stapling of notes - Our notes are always neatly typed with clear, original diagrams and graphs. We do not recycle material from other text books. Instead, we invest effort, time and money to give students the most professional study notes available.

With every course TSSM provides you with comprehensive course material and ample examination style questions to provide you with an ongoing reference point leading up to your exams.

• "I found the program very good as it reinforced what I have been learning in class. I thought the notes were extremely comprehensive and have been using them consistently throughout the year. A GREAT PROGRAM!" Stephanie Karagiorgios
• "Very good overview of what to expect in unit 3. Helpful notes I could use for revision, useful tips for VCE in general." Rebecca Smalley
• "Notes given were clear and easy to understand. The quiz was a great recap!" Katherine Westerman

State of the art venue with an optimal learning environment

TSSM takes a less formal approach in the classroom. Of course our teachers are extremely professional in addressing the entire syllabus, however they have a knack for making students feel more comfortable in our friendly study environment.

We will encourage you to ask questions and develop your skills in our optimal learning environment. Our teachers are instructed to provide you with as much opportunity to develop and enhance exam skills and strategies as required.

• ''TSSM is extremely professional and cares about its students. They provide a wonderful environment (eg. study room, fresh fruit) that is safe and comfortable which gives a great foundation to learn on." Lucy Harris
