The educational benefits are real and impactful when a past student returns as a new teacher.
Carol’s story is one of full-circle success. Once an ambitious ATAR student, Carol relied on Step Up In Education to simplify complex topics, improve her understanding, and achieve her academic goals. Now, as a newly graduated ATAR teacher, she has returned to the platform, this time to help her own students excel.
Having Carol return to our platform, now as a graduate teacher, also makes me acutely aware of the passage of time. Has it really been over 6 years since I made the first content for Step Up In Eduation? I asked Carol to reflect on her journey from being one of our student users, to now returning seeking resources to assist her students as a graduate teacher.
A Game-Changer for an ATAR Student
As a high school student preparing for her ATAR exams, Carol found she had to master a lot content in a short time, as most students do. Reflecting on that challenging period, she shared:
“When I first came across Step Up In Education, it opened an alternative for me as a student. Instead of looking at textbooks every day when I came back from school trying to digest all the contents being delivered to me in a jam-packed program, I was able to go to Step Up In Education, find the video clip and practice questions that was targeted directly to the topic.”
Our platform’s concise, targeted video explanations and ATAR-standard practice questions offered a structured and convenient solution. By focusing on the essentials, Carol could efficiently build her understanding and confidently tackle exam-style problems.
The explanation of the concepts was easy to understand, and relevant practice questions were at an ATAR standard. Step Up In Education is a convenient and structured one-stop place that made significant positive impact during my ATAR journey.
Supporting Students as a Graduate Teacher
Today, Carol’s journey has come full circle. Now a teacher, she has returned to Step Up In Education to enhance the learning experience for her own students.
“And now as a new graduate ATAR teacher, I am coming back to this platform to enhance and assist my students to maximise their learning outcomes!”
By using the same trusted resources that supported her academic success, Carol ensures her students have access to the tools they need to excel. Step Up In Education’s resources allow her to provide clear explanations, targeted practice, and structured guidance tailored to the demands of the ATAR syllabus.

Carol’s testimonial highlights the unique versatility of Step Up In Education. Whether you’re a student striving to achieve your academic goals or a teacher working to support others, the platform delivers accessible, high-quality resources that make a difference.
