Whether a student is in Year 8 or preparing for the HSC, progress comes from understanding — not just practice.

When students grasp the ideas behind the maths or science, they become more confident, flexible, and less reliant on memorisation.

This is the approach I take.

Term 1 is approaching. For Year 11 students starting the HSC/IB, the jump in volume is often bigger than the difficulty.

My advice: Don't just increase practice hours. Audit your "Understanding" of Year 10 concepts. If the foundation is shaky, more practice won't help.
