Hi, Dan Dobos here.

When I was in Year 10 and 11, I spent 2-3 hours a night studying in high school when my friends would be outside or playing video games.

You would think that because of all of the time spent studying, I would be someone who did well at school...
Well, I wasn’t.

Despite spending HOURS every day studying, I’d often score Bs and Cs.

In fact, there was one time in Year 11 where I handed in an essay and my teacher refused to give me a grade for it.
Instead I got a UG ie 𝘜𝘕𝘎𝘙𝘈𝘋𝘌𝘈𝘉𝘓𝘌..

My essay was that bad!
Then one day in Year 11, it hit me: There’s no point in working really hard if you don’t know what you’re doing or even know if you're spending your time on the wrong things!

So in Year 12, I decided to approach my school subjects differently...
I found some mentors who systematically helped me develop better study processes.

I finished Year 12 with an ATAR of 99.25 - a far cry from the Bs and Cs I’d been getting in Year 10 and 11.

I was stoked, my parents couldn’t be happier. I got into a university course I never thought was possible back in Yr 10: Law and Engineering at Melbourne University.

Since then, I’ve gone on to create Meridian One - a coaching company dedicated to helping high school students reach their full potential.

Confessions of a Victorian high school student...
- Start school in Feb… 🏫
- Assume and hope you’ll do well enough to get into university.
- Time to start studying. 📚
- But your phone keeps vibrating...
- Reply to your messages...
- Reply to more messages...
- *Opens TikTok* 📱
- Parents walk in...
- Quickly hide your phone. 🤥
- Pretend to study… 😇
- Now have to cram the night before to get everything done.
- Go to class the next day, tired.
- Get distracted talking to the person next to you...
- Fall behind. 😫
- Say “I’ll do what I can do” instead of stressing and putting pressure on yourself.
- Ignore that you’ve just lowered your own standards… 😒
- Do less work than before.
- Try to ignore your parent saying “Shouldn’t you be studying” even though you know you should.
- Argue with your parent to try and deflect the issue...
- Finally agree with your parent that you’ll “test out tutoring” 🙄
- Do tutoring.
- Learn nothing. 😤
- Fire tutor.
- Wonder where this is all going….

Hi, Dan Dobos here.

When I was in high school I spent hours upon hours each day studying. But no matter how much I studied, I was still getting Bs and Cs at best.

So when I reached Year 12, I decided to approach school differently. I found some mentors who systematically helped me develop study processes. 📚

𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱. I finished school with an ATAR of 99.25 and got into Law and Engineering at Melbourne Uni, something I never thought was possible just a few years earlier. I was stoked and my parents couldn't be happier.

Since then, I founded Meridian One and over the last 15 years we've helped thousands of high school students achieve their full potential. In fact, 𝟲𝟯% 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 have achieved an ATAR over 90. 🎓
