Absolutely! (As a matter of fact, the only tutor I had was for chemistry, my lowest raw score. My tutor was great, I'm just poor at chemistry :P )

I received a scaled score of 43.6 last year and has no tutor. Not an ATAR, but proves high scores are possible without tutors.

Hahahahaha yeah no. I had a tutor for Spesh. But the sessions were more just chats about how great maths is, once every month or so, and to clarify a few nitty gritty things.

I scored 47 in Biology, and 46 in Further Maths, without tutors. I know many people who scored lower than that (I mean in the 30s) who had regular tutoring. There is no direct correlation between having a tutor and succeeding.

really, a tutors their to help you in areas you are struggling, but then again, why are teachers there? use your teacher, ask plenty of questions. To an extent a tutor can act like a motivator, but if you have the right motivation in mind, no one can stop you.

Except VCAA   ;D  :P
