Year 10 Preliminary Prep
Start Year 11 on the front foot. We bridge the gap between Year 10 science and the demands of Preliminary Physics and Chemistry — so the first term of senior science feels familiar, not frightening.
What’s covered
- The key Year 11 concepts that catch students off guard
- Scientific skills: working with data, graphing and units
- Study habits and exam technique for senior science
- Confidence with the mathematics senior science leans on
How the course runs
- Weekly 1-hour lessons
- A 10-week term, one subject per lesson — take one subject or both.
- Weekly homework
- Consolidates each lesson so the fundamentals genuinely lock in.
- Out-of-class support
- Questions between lessons are answered — including on our 24/7 Discord server.
- Early Year 11 access
- Prelim Prep families book Year 11 classes before positions open publicly.
Who it’s for
- Year 10 students planning to take Physics and/or Chemistry
- Students at selective and high-achieving schools who want a running start
- Families who want early access to Year 11 class bookings
