How it works
Your mistakes shape what you revise next.
Two live online classes a week in each subject. The mistakes you choose to keep from them help focus your revision.

How each part of the week runs
- Theory
- One class a week with your tutor, in step with school; its homework is due at the Practical. It comes back marked, with a sheet giving your score, where the marks went, what each mistake that matters needed, one habit to work on and the questions to redo closed book.
- Practical
- Exam-style questions in smaller breakout rooms. Your tutor moves between them. Your tutor looks through your booklet, with no score: a question you didn’t reach never counts against you.
- Your Error Log
- You choose what goes in, from your marked homework and your own checking. Each record keeps its question and the lesson it came from.
- Weekly revision
- Up to three past mistakes a week, from different topics when your log has them, redone closed book.
- Exam Roadmap
- When your school sets an exam: a task for each day, from what the exam covers and when, your Error Log and your own confidence ratings. Your tutor approves it before you see it.
- Who sees it
- The feedback sheet and the Error Log are the student’s own. Parents see class times and fees in their own view.

Your tutor spotted a mistake.
Saving it is up to you. Saved mistakes come back when you revise.

Real roots and the boundary case
You wrote“64 − 8c > 0, so c < 8”
It neededReal roots: 64 − 8c ≥ 0, so c ≤ 8, with 8 included.
Your tutorAt c = 8 the two roots are equal, and equal roots are still real. Your “>” left out exactly that case.
Error trigger“has real roots” → make the discriminant greater than or equal to zero, because equal roots are real roots.
You choose whether it goes in your Error Log.
When your school sets an exam
Plan for your next exam.
Your exam notification, your confidence and your Error Log come together in one revision plan.

Also in the course
Two more parts of the course, neither of them weekly.
End of each eight-week block
A mock exam
A full paper under exam conditions. It’s the one part of the course held in person, in Sydney, with an online sitting at the same time if you can’t get there. It isn’t tied to a school exam; it’s practice at sitting one. Your tutor marks it, and you can add its mistakes to your Error Log too.
After an exam, if you ask
A consultation
A one-on-one conversation with your tutor, led by you, after a school exam or a mock. It covers:
- How the exam went
- What went wrong, and why
- What to do differently next time
- Mindset and motivation, as much as content
Why we teach this way
Four study habits with research behind them, built into the week so they happen without you having to organise them. The research is on the habits; putting them together this way is our own design.
- Worked examples
- In Theory your tutor works a new method through step by step before you try one, so you see why each step is there. In the Practical, the questions are yours.
- Specific feedback
- Your sheet says what each mistake that matters needed. A score tells you how it went; this tells you what to change.
- Active recall
- Redoing a question without your notes lets you check what you can retrieve on your own, and the retrieving is practice in itself. The mock asks it of a whole paper.
- Spaced repetition
- Your weekly revisit and your Roadmap bring work back over several weeks instead of all at once, so you meet it again after some of it has faded.
