Shaun Isbister

Expertise: Units 1-4 Business Management, Units 1-4 Economics, Units 3&4 Extended Investigation
Availability: Regular tutoring

I have taught VCE Business Management and Economics over the past 15 years and have extensive experience as an exam assessor for Business Management. My tutoring focuses on providing tailored and targeted support to strengthen learner confidence on both understanding key concepts, and more importantly putting knowledge into practice to structure high-quality responses to a range of complex and examinable skills. I run exam preparation lectures for both VCE Business Management and Economics and can share my insights around ‘how to think like an assessor’ in the exam. Sessions will primarily aim to structure, model and rehearse critical knowledge and skills through a “gradual release” process (I do-We do-You do), with this approach garnering outstanding results for my students who regularly achieve above-state-average and high 40+ scores. Tutoring sessions can be online or in person if local (Epping, Wollert, Craigieburn, Thomastown) and can be weekly, fortnightly, or whatever suits your needs. Individual or small-group sessions available. Please reach out via the form below and lets get started on maximising your scores!

Please enjoy this testimonial provided by a Year 12 student I supported in 2024:

Shaun is an outstanding tutor whose practical and innovative approach had a transformative impact on my daughter’s Year 12 performance. His exceptional resources, combined with real-world examples, made the content accessible, relevant, and easy to apply, giving her a significant edge in study design knowledge and exam preparation. Shaun’s explicit focus on teaching advanced answering techniques to meet VCAA standards was instrumental in her achieving an A+ on her exam and a study score of 47. His warm, approachable nature and unwavering dedication to his students’ success create a supportive and inspiring learning environment. Shaun’s passion for helping students excel is evident, and I highly recommend Shaun to anyone hoping to achieve exceptional results.
