Curriculum

What we cover

Aligned to the NSW NESA HSC Chemistry syllabus. We teach Modules 5–8 step by step, then drill them against past HSC papers so students can answer unseen, application-style questions for marks.

Module 5 HSC

Equilibrium & Acid Reactions

Le Chatelier's principle, equilibrium constants and acid–base theory — often the most challenging module, taught step by step.

Module 6 HSC

Acid/Base Reactions

Brønsted–Lowry model, buffers, titrations and indicators — calculation types drilled until they are automatic.

Module 7 HSC

Organic Chemistry

Functional groups, reaction pathways and nomenclature. We teach pattern recognition so students can answer unseen questions.

Module 8 HSC

Applying Chemical Ideas

Gravimetric and volumetric analysis, spectroscopy and monitoring the environment — practical skills and data interpretation.

Past HSC papers — every year
Systematic past-paper practice through Terms 3 & 4
Depth Study support
Design, analysis and scientific report writing

How it works

Every class follows the same structure.

Based on cognitive science — it minimises load and builds durable understanding and exam confidence.

01 · Retrieval

Class review

Rapid retrieval practice of past concepts — active recall to beat the forgetting curve.

02 · Instruction

Explicit instruction

Theory broken into the smallest parts, taught in simple, consistent language.

03 · Guided

Guided practice

Worked examples together, tutor scaffolding fading as competence grows.

04 · Independent

Independent practice

Exam-style questions with instant feedback, so errors are caught before they stick.

05 · Test

Exit test

A short end-of-class check on retention; targeted homework where needed.

06 · Consolidate

Homework

Weekly consolidation that moves class learning into long-term memory.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I join in Year 12 without doing Year 11 with you?

Absolutely. Many students join at the start of Year 12. We quickly check for gaps in the Preliminary modules and shore them up so the HSC content has a solid base.

Do you do past HSC papers?

Yes — systematic past-paper practice runs through Terms 3 and 4, with marking against the NESA marking guidelines so students learn to write for marks.

Which parts of HSC Chemistry do students find hardest?

Module 5 (Equilibrium) and Module 7 (Organic Chemistry) are where most students lose marks. We spend extra time on Le Chatelier's principle and organic reaction pathways, building pattern recognition so unfamiliar questions don't throw students off.

How big are the classes?

Classes are kept small — between 1 and 5 students — so every student gets personal attention and their questions actually get answered each lesson. Prefer one-on-one? Private 1:1 sessions are available on request.

Can I try a class before enrolling?

Yes. Your first trial class is completely free, with no payment details required. If it's not the right fit, there's no obligation.

Where are classes held?

In person at our Blacktown centre on Main Street — easily reached from Seven Hills, Quakers Hill, Woodcroft, Marayong, Kings Langley, Doonside, Lalor Park and Rooty Hill.
