Why families choose our high school science tuition
Groups of three, at most
Every student gets real attention. One-on-one lessons are available too.
The maths inside science
We make sure formulas, units and graphs are solid, because that is where many science marks are lost.
Parents can see progress
Our online portal shows homework, answers and progress by topic, so you always know where things stand.
Clear written answers
Students practise explaining ideas in full sentences, which is how most science test marks are awarded.
Questions parents ask
Which year levels do you teach for science?
We teach science from Year 7 to Year 10, plus VCE Chemistry and Physics, and primary science for younger students.
My child understands the science but loses marks in tests. Can you help?
Often the marks go on calculations, units or written explanations. We practise test-style questions and show students how to set out answers clearly.
