Year 12 HSC Physics Tutoring

Our Difference

Small Class. Same Price.

Single-Digit Student Classes

We know students are easily distracted and forgotten about in large classes, so we limit our classes to small, single-digit student numbers. Our average class size of 6 students support collaborative learning while simultaneously allowing you to receive the individual attention and care you need to succeed.

2 Hour Lessons

Through continuous feedback from our students, our lessons have undergone countless revisions to ensure that you are learning efficiently. We understand time is limited, so we make sure our lessons are worth your time and effort.

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.
