HSC Biology
Biology looks like the easy science until the extended responses are marked. Classes work on writing an answer that earns the marks it is worth, against content that is genuinely known rather than half remembered.
Years 11 and 12. NSW Biology syllabus, 2025.
What the course covers
Cells as the basis of life
Cells to systems
Evolution and ecosystems

How the week works
Classes run in small groups at the Epping rooms, with the tutor reading the working as it happens.
Homework each week comes out of what the lesson showed, so it targets the thing that went wrong.
The first class is a free trial. No card, no obligation, and you can stop there.
Fees
Years 11 and 12
$120 per week
Weekly, by year group. No enrolment fee and no lock-in term.
Questions parents ask
- Is this the new syllabus?
- Yes. Biology moved to the 2025 syllabus, so the content is organised as focus areas rather than the older numbered modules.
- How do you help with extended responses?
- The student writes one, the tutor marks it against the criteria the way an HSC marker would, and they rewrite the part that lost the marks. Reading model answers on its own does not move a mark.
- What happens in the free trial?
- Your child sits a real class with the group they would join. The tutor works through their current school task, watches the working, and tells you afterwards what they saw.
- How much does it cost?
- Fees are set by year group and are listed on this page. There is no enrolment fee and no lock-in term.
- Where are you?
- Suite 105-106, 16-18 Cambridge Street, Epping. Most families come from Epping, Cherrybrook and Carlingford.
