WHERE GOOD BECOMES OUTSTANDING
MESSAGE FROM KEVIN XIAO - FOUNDER & HEAD TUTOR
My name is Kevin Xiao and I'm the Founder and Head Tutor at Breakthrough Education. My passion and focus in life is to inspire, mentor and most importantly help students achieve success - whether it is to attain their ideal ATAR score in VCE or to get into the course of their dreams.
In my 23 years of teaching, I have personally coached and mentored more than
90 x 99.95 students and literally helped hundreds get into medicine, dentistry and even entry into some of the most prestigious universities in the US and UK.
So what is the key to success? In order, I would say:
1. You need to work hard: How hard you may ask? The answer is simple: work harder than your peers. The ATAR is a RANK, not a score - if you want to rank higher, you have to work harder. Working hard means more hours, more effort and ultimately sustained output over time. Some may argue that quality is better than quantity - let me say to you this: quality comes from quantity.
2. You need to work smart: Why is it that some students just perform better than others even though both seemingly spend the same amount of time? The answer is simple: they spend the vast majority of time working on the factors which contribute most to their success. Getting a good ATAR is a science not an art, there are simple actions and tasks which will help you succeed.
3. You need to be expertly guided: Next time you meet someone who gets a great score, casually ask them if they got tutored? The reality is that most, if not all, of the 99.95 have been coached - just like elite athletes. In fact, of all the years I have been teaching, those who get 99.95 without any coaching is in fact the exception. In 2019 alone, I personally taught all 10 x 99.95 students - to do well you need someone who has a proven track record and experience in producing results year in, year out. This was not a one off, in 2022, another 10 students, from Breakthrough Education, achieved a perfect ATAR of 99.95. In 2024, 11 students achieved a perfect ATAR of 99.95 - all from Breakthrough Education!
Breakthrough Education is here to help you succeed. I invite you to be part of an extraordinary group of students who are committed not to settle but to breakthrough in every aspect of academic achievement.
With gratitude and respect,
Founder, Head Coach and Tutor
