Unfortunately, no.

Unfortunately, no. Our centre offers a class based teaching structure. Class learning provides a group learning environment where a variety of problems can be discussed and solved in an informal and encouraging environment. It also allows for a syllabus to be taught which promotes structure and is intended to accelerate the student.

For Year 5 to Year 10, class size can range from 4-10 students.

For Year 11 and Year 12, class size can be up to 20 students.

Year 5 lessons are one hour; Year 6 classes are 90 minutes long; Year 7, 8, 9 & 10 lessons are 2 hours; and Year 11 & 12 lessons are 2.5 hours in duration.

Tutoring classes are run on a weekly basis. We structure our timetable to fit into four (4) terms which follow the school term dates, however we only take one week break in between terms. There is a longer holiday during the December and January period.

If your chid cannot attend a lesson, we will email you with the class notes, homework sheet(s) and often a pre-recorded video so they can review the lesson at home.

In addition, we offer a free Help Hub service which is the ability to book 30 minutes for free with a tutor for support. This session is to ask questions about their tutoring homework, school homework and/or challenge questions.

We believe the fees are a fair rate. There is a discount offered if you attend more than one lesson per week eg. HSC Mathematics Extension 1 (3U) & HSC Mathematics Extension 2 (4U). There is a sibling discount available.

For all new students, the first lesson is free and intended as a trial - parents are more than welcome to sit in. We have a substantial cash incentive if you refer other student(s).

The curriculum is an accelerated syllabus designed to challenge the student and learn ahead of most schools.

Ricky writes his own teaching materials complete with theory, examples, exercises, answers, topic quizzes and revision. The content is based on a wealth of resources which he has collected including text books sourced from local and overseas, plus topic theory notes. Students can benefit greatly from self practice on past exams and Ricky has a plethora of past school exam papers and past HSC exam papers. In addition, we can assist with current issues that the student is having with their school work. ​

Notebook for taking theory notes and class examples, notebook for doing homework, calculator, pens and pencils, and your attention. ​
