    Tutoring recs for Year 11

    Don't stress it - tutoring shouldn't be mandatory for every subject (despite what other people/tutors say). Year 11 should be a year for you to explore different options and try out new places before settling down for the home stretch. I would attend a few free trials that places are running and...

    ngo & sons or something else?

    I was the specialist tutor for one of the places mentioned before I started our own. During my days as a student, they used to run exit exams where below a certain mark, you'd get kicked out. I can assure you now that its very much toned down. If you enjoy the small class environment, come give...

    NGO & Sons or Matrix?

    I have taught at one for 8 years and interviewed for the other. I can confidently say even though the teachers at Ngo and Sons may not have the same credentials as those advertised at Matrix, they have trained to a very high standard. Ngo and Sons emphasises rules and technique over everything...

    what mark would you realistically need to be a 1 on 1 tutor for any hsc subject

    Chris is right, its not about your marks as much as your ability to explain questions to students. I have sat on both sides of the hiring board for new tutors. I have seen some really smart students struggle to simplify simple questions and I have also seen aspiring teachers tackle projectile...

    Is it worth revising/studying the Maths Advanced content if I'm taking Ext 2?

    Definitely, you'll need to be comfortable (if not very good) at the concepts in 2U. Think of integration in 2U and then doing a harder version in 4U.

    best past papers 3u

    When I did the HSC, I used to do a Sydney Grammar and James Ruse quite a bit. Otherwise, HSC from earlier years (pre new syllabus) have some good questions that are still relevant today.

    For HSC chemistry, give Sigma Science a try! Chris is very knowledgable and I personally went to his classes when I was a student long time ago. For 4U maths, come give us a try : ) We've each been teaching for 8 years and our classes are capped at 8 students. Give us a ring at 02 9059 8263 and...

    How do I get better at Math?

    Keep practicing past papers and when that gets too easy, try to do them under exam conditions. You can do it!

    looking for a physics and 4u math tutor/tutoring centres.

    I can't speak for others but I'll let you in with our results. We've been teaching since 2016 and our students have achieved 5 state ranks in Mathematics. Zeta Education is our passion project which we started this year and before that we taught the specialist classes for another tutoring centre...

    looking for a physics and 4u math tutor/tutoring centres.

    I'd say come give us a try for 4U, we've been teaching for over 8 years now. Our classes are quite a bit smaller than traditional tutoring centres. Give us a call at (02) 9059 8263 and we can arrange you a class : )

    Is it possible for me to state rank

    I think rank 1 helps but its not a prerequisite. (Source: I was rank 3 doing accelerated 2U and got 5th in state). I do get that you're worried that your school might drag you down. I'd just say that its out of your control and as long as you try your hardest, you can make it :)
