HSC Chemistry
Chemistry punishes a shaky start, because the quantitative work in Module 2 sits underneath everything after it. Classes check that foundation first and then work at whatever the school is assessing.
Years 11 and 12. NSW Chemistry syllabus, 2017, in effect to 2029.
What the course covers
Module 1, properties and structure of matter
Module 2, introduction to quantitative chemistry
Module 3, reactive chemistry
Module 4, drivers of reactions
Module 5, equilibrium and acid reactions
Module 6, acid and base reactions
Module 7, organic chemistry
Module 8, applying chemical ideas
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
- Which syllabus is Chemistry on?
- The 2017 syllabus, which stays in effect to 2029. The module numbering on this page is that syllabus and it is what the school is teaching.
- My child says they understand it but the marks are low. What is that?
- Usually one of three things: the calculation setup, the written explanation, or reading the question. They need different fixes, and the point of the trial is to find out which it is.
- 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.
