Our story
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 × 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.

Wondering how hard you need to work? The answer is simple: work harder than your peers.
The ATAR is a RANK, not a score and 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.
Why is it that some students just perform better than others even though both seemingly spend the same amount of time?
The answer is straightforward: 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.
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.

“My daughter likes the tutoring at BT very much, she is inspired from Kevin a lot. She can lock in for a long time and super focus. Great place to start!”
“The head tutor, Kevin, is a very knowledgeable individual who teaches many pedantic skills for VCE and provides many resources. He cares a lot for his students and helps his students whenever and wherever possible. Would highly recommend if you're looking to extend yourself in VCE with an amazing tutor!”
