Jason’s Story

The founding of Jason Huang VCE English Language Tutoring was motivated by the goal to provide every student with the opportunity to access a tutoring environment that is strategically designed, bridges gaps in learning, and delivers results without bias. We truly believe that education yields one of the highest social impacts — and making a tangible impact is deeply rewarding.

My Journey

Arriving in Australia

When I first immigrated to Australia in 2011, I couldn’t speak a word of English — not even the alphabet. The language barrier, compounded by racism I faced, made things harder.

• I still remember how peers would point to objects in the classroom and ask me what they were called. If I chose not to answer/didn’t know (e.g., dictionary), they laughed at me.

• One teacher once told me to “write something, anything.” I wrote “something”. She laughed hopelessly.

• That moment changed everything — I decided I would master the English language, stand up for myself, and turn this challenge into a strength.

A Defining Moment (2021)

• Year: 2021

• Setting: An afternoon at an Eastern Suburb station in Victoria

• Participants: Me (Jason), and 2 marketing personnel from a company

I was walking out of the station when approached by two marketing personnel. Whilst one tried to speak to me, the other arrogantly said:

“Don’t bother speaking to him, he doesn’t understand English.”

Fuelled with anger, I stopped and said:

“Yes, I didn’t know how to speak English 10+ years ago, but the racism I faced back then from people like you is what motivated me to learn and master the language. Today, I’m the go-to tutor in VCE English Language in Victoria. Feel free to contact me if your child needs VCE English Language support in the future.”

Both smiled awkwardly, embarrassed.

This was just one example of the racism I’ve faced. But I’ve never let it define me. Instead, it has become the fuel for my journey.

Jason’s journey of growth and perseverance

Since coming to Australia in 2011, my path has looked like this:

Year 4 (2011) — New Country, New Language, New Environment & Experienced Bullying

• I couldn’t speak English at all

• After enrolling at a primary school, I was told I was “not good enough” and was transferred to a language school

• Experienced bullying — including having a soccer ball deliberately kicked at my face and being laughed at, unable to stand up for myself due to language barriers

Year 5–6 — Language Barriers & Experienced Bullying

• I struggled with reading comprehension and basic essay writing, often being pulled out of class for extra English support

• The bullying continued — during lunch, some peers would point at objects in the classroom and ask me to name them in English. When I didn’t respond to them, they laughed

Year 7 — Academic Struggles & Experienced Bullying

• I averaged 50–60% in English, consistently receiving Cs and Ds

• The language barrier was still a major obstacle. One peer even mocked me by calling me “National English Skills” (almost on a daily basis)

Year 8 — Almost Didn’t Make It

• I performed below average in the Writing component of the Selective School Entrance Exam

• Gained entry to Nossal High School through Principal’s Discretion, meaning my exam results alone weren’t strong enough — I almost didn’t make it

Year 9 (2016) — Turning Point 🌱

• Things began to turn around

• Through relentless effort and the support of amazing teachers and peers, I achieved several academic awards in my first year at Nossal High School (Selective Entry) — marking a turning point in my journey

Tutoring (January 2020 - Present) — Giving Back 🌟

  • Many students scored in the raw 45 - 49 range (placing them in the top 2% of Victoria)

Biggest takeaway? My journey — from not being able to speak a word of English to becoming the Dux of English (multiple years), Valedictorian, a top VCE English Language tutor, and mentor to hundreds of students — proves that with the right mindset, strategy, and support, anything is possible.

How Tutoring Started

In my first year of University, a friend who was still in year 12 at that time asked me:

“Hey, do you want to tutor me for VCE English Language?”

That one request was the beginning. What started as mentoring one student grew through word of mouth. Soon, I was helping multiple students.

Today, tutoring has become my full-time job, and Jason Huang VCE English Language Tutoring has grown into one of the most celebrated and sought-after VCE English Language tutoring services in Victoria (read our 5-star student reviews here)

Why This Matters to You

My story shows that I wasn’t born “smart.” I faced a lot of challenges and had to work relentlessly to achieve the goals I set for myself. I turned things around — from not knowing the alphabet → to getting Cs in English → to top 1% in VCE English Language and 99+ ATAR → to becoming the state’s go-to tutor in VCE English Language.

This didn’t happen by luck. It happened because of:

• Structure

• Resilience

• Guidance

That’s the same philosophy I now share with my students. With the right support and tailored teaching, I believe every student can succeed in VCE English Language — no matter their background or starting point.
