VCE Summer School (VCESS)

The VCE Summer School (VCESS) is a two-week tutoring program that takes place in January and aims to help VCE students from a range of backgrounds gain a head start on their final years of secondary education. In recent years, the program has taken place both online and on the University of Melbourne campus. The program has a particular focus on creating a healthy study-life balance and providing tutoring on a wide range of subjects. Subject Tutors at VCESS provide subject-specific tutoring to year eleven and twelve students through guided private study, classroom lessons, one-on-one tutoring, and more. Each tutor focuses on a specific subject (or a few specific subjects) they know well and helps students start the year with a strong foundation. Our tutors are passionate about what they teach and create a positive environment for learning. Many tutors take extra responsibilities, from holding a group meeting each day to residing on campus with students for two weeks. There are also opportunities to develop skills through brief roles for events, workshops, and operations support.
