NOTE: Late sales are allowed and you can join halfway through the 5-day course. You will be given access to previous recordings to catch up automatically.
The end of year exams account for 30% of your subject grades, and you are given a numerical score, whereas for school assessments, it only matters that you get a certain letter grade. This simply underscores how this 30% is one of the most important things to get right in your year 12 studies. That is why it is crucial to get started on revision early with us, ensuring that you are able to remember and apply the knowledge you acquired earlier in the year.
As such, we will be offering a holistic and comprehensive 5-day holiday revision course over zoom, covering chemistry, biology and physics. Each day there will be a 2 hour session where we will review the content covered in the first semester, and provide you with exam-style questions to test your understanding. At the end, we will teach you the most effective, evidence based study techniques to maximise your performance.

Session Details
In our sessions, our tutors will individually teach their curated content built from experience and knowledge of what is emphasised by SACE in exams and school content.
We will attempt exam-style questions increasing in difficulty and past exam questions collaboratively.
Also, we will walk through the exact step-by-step thinking process required to answer question types which will prepare you for unfamiliar ‘curveball’ questions.
Before heading into the session, we will send out a pre-quiz to see where our student cohort weaknesses currently lie and areas for discussion. We find this as a crucial opportunity to tailor the session to cover these additional areas within the session.
Details required to join the scheduled Zoom sessions will be provided upon purchasing the tickets via Eventbrite. Sessions will begin at the allocated time and our tutor will work through their invaluable content.
Biology
John Kalyvas
Detailed Stage 2 Biology Revision Course hosted by a high achieving 2018 graduate (99.65 ATAR & Dux) and current second year Bachelor of Science student, double majoring in chemistry and biology.
