Writing Perfect ATAR English Essays

A proven course to help you write better essays and improve your grades by 10-15%.

Are you struggling to understand essay structure?

Are you stumped when it comes to analysing texts?

Are you never able to pick the right quotes?

Don't worry. I can help. 

Writing Perfect ATAR English Essays is a proven online course to help students master the craft of essay writing.

My name is Jed Herne. I graduated with a 99.4 ATAR and a grade of 89% in English Literature.

Despite graduating in the top 1% of my cohort, I wasn't always successful at school. In Year 11, I scored 77% in English Literature. While this was a decent mark, I loved the subject and wanted to do better. In Year 12, I researched, practiced, and experimented. What I learned helped me improve my grades by 12%, graduating with 89% in English Literature and achieving the top Literature mark at my school.  

Still, I wondered if it was a fluke. Had I just gotten lucky?

Then, in 2016, I tutored a student called John. He was failing ATAR English. In some tests, he was scoring in the mid-30% range. Yikes!

I was nervous: maybe I'd been able to improve my own grades. But could I help him do the same?

After several months of tutoring, he sat his final exams. We both waited anxiously to see what he'd scored. 

What was his final average for the year?

Thanks to my tutoring, John went from scoring as low as 30% (and having an average in the mid-40s) to passing ATAR English with a final average of 52.5%.

My lessons haven't just helped John. Since founding The ATAR Blueprint in 2017, my online courses have helped 500+ students improve their grades, reduce their stress, and maybe even start enjoying school a little bit more.

School isn't just about achieving high grades. But good marks can help you win scholarships (I won three), get more opportunities in post-school life, and demonstrate that you have what it takes to learn difficult skills.

That's why I've made this course. By following the proven lessons contained inside, you'll master the most difficult task in ATAR English: writing an essay.

If you follow the lessons inside the course (and put in the work) you'll see an immediate improvement to your English essays. Essays are the foundational skill of ATAR English. Once you master them, everything about English gets easier - and your grades will get a big boost.

So if you're:

  • In danger of failing English.

  • Wanting to boost your marks by 10-15%.

  • Or you're already a high-performer and you want to take your skills to the next level.

Then this course will help you achieve your goals.

Understanding the Question


  Includes a 14-Day 100% Money-Back Guarantee!   

Why am I including this?

Well, I want this course to boost your grades to the point where your investment in this is a no-brainer.

So I’m including a huge guarantee.

Because I want you to know how confident I am in my course:

If by the end of this course you decide that this isn’t a fantastic investment, just email [email protected] within 14 days of purchase and I'll give you a 100% refund - no questions asked.

You don’t have to explain.

You don’t need to convince me.

Some people might think this is a crazy guarantee (and if a student requests a refund, I have to pay a small processing fee to make it happen) but my reason is simple:

If this course doesn’t help you write better essays, I don’t want to take your money. (And students clearly think my courses are worthwhile, because less than 3% of my customers have asked for refunds).

You can watch every video and get every drop of my knowledge, and if at the end you don’t think I’ve delivered above and beyond, you can still get 100% of your money back.

THAT is how confident I am in the value of this course.  

And I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is and make this 100% risk-free for you.

So let’s do this!
