Our Difference

Small Class. Same Price.

Small Classes

We know students are easily distracted and forgotten about in large classes, so we limit our classes to small groups. This support collaborative learning while simultaneously allowing you to receive individual attention and care you need to succeed.

Learn 1 Module in 4 Days

Through continuous feedback from our students, our lessons have undergone countless revisions to ensure that you are learning efficiently. With our holiday program, we teach 2 lessons a day, allowing us to cover a whole module in 4 days.

Tailored Learning

At Cognito, we adopt an interactive teaching approach that actively involves students in the learning process. Our tutors ask students questions throughout the lesson and offer continuous feedback to their responses to practice questions. This ensures that all students develop a deep understanding of the concepts rather than just memorising them.

Unmatched Resources

Each lesson, receive a printed booklet with colour-coded notes written by our subject specialists that comprehensively cover every dot point in the NESA syllabus. Our booklets are filled with unique HSC-style practice questions, homework and detailed solutions. We are proud to offer our students the best HSC notes in the industry.

Exceptional Teachers

We are honoured to have the best tutors in New South Wales on our team. From state rankers to top ATAR achievers, academic achievement is only the beginning. Our HSC Chemistry, Physics and Maths tutors are role models our students can turn to for advice, mentorship, and support.
