Student Testimonials

"This course was definitely beneficial for me. We had a very strong teacher in Karen who went through the content thoroughly but not too slowly and the questions we were given were great - all past HSC and trial questions that were quite challenging."

"The course truly helped my preparation. Understanding the basics is great, but being exposed to the top tier of questions is what really prepares you for Ext 1 and that's exactly what this course provides."

"The teacher was thorough, very engaging, easy to ask questions if needed and questions were relevant to what we were learning"

Karen will be covering all the major topics over the 5-hour course, including but not limited to:

1. Inequations

2. Polynomials

3. Inverse Functions

4. Logarithmic and Exponential Functions

5. Differentiation and the Geometry of the Derivative (Harder questions only)

3 x 90-minute sessions (4.5 hours total) on Sunday 31st August, Monday 1st September, & Thursday 4th September 5:45 pm – 7:15 pm

If needed, we can cover Probability, Combinatorics & 3-D Trigonometry on a fourth early evening.

A golden opportunity to revise the year 11 syllabus using exam-style questions covering extensive topics of the Ext 1 Mathematics course.  This will be presented with worked solutions given in an online and interactive course.
