Classes questions
How a lesson runs, and what is taught at each year level.
How are Everest's small-group classes structured?
An Everest Tutoring class runs for one hour (2.5 hours for GATE) with at most 10 students.
What subjects and year levels does Everest offer?
Everest Tutoring teaches Years 4 to 6 GATE preparation, Year 6 Maths and English, Years 7 to 10 Maths, Science and English, Year 11 and 12 ATAR Mathematics Methods, Specialist, Applications, Chemistry, Physics, Human Biology, English and Economics, the UCAT, and medicine and dentistry interview preparation, at Harrisdale, Willetton, Perth Modern and online.
GATE questions
Selective-entry preparation for Years 4 to 6.
ATAR questions
Years 11 and 12, and university entrance.
What is the best tutoring for Year 12 in Perth?
For Year 12 ATAR students the best tutoring is a weekly small-group class in the exact SCSA subject, taught by a tutor who sat that exam recently, with marked practice exams before each school assessment.
How can I improve my ATAR score?
An ATAR rises fastest by lifting your weakest scaled subject, not your strongest: in WA the ATAR is built from your best four scaled scores, so a 10-mark gain in a low subject moves the aggregate more than 3 marks in a high one.
How can tutoring help improve my child's ATAR?
Tutoring helps an ATAR student in three measurable ways: closing gaps in Unit 1 and 2 content before Year 12 builds on it, practising exam-style questions under time every week, and getting written feedback on extended responses.
Which ATAR subjects does Everest teach?
Everest Tutoring teaches eight WA ATAR subjects: Mathematics Methods, Mathematics Specialist, Mathematics Applications, Chemistry, Physics, Human Biology, English and Economics, in weekly one-hour classes capped at 10 at Harrisdale, Willetton and Perth Modern (Economics at Harrisdale and online), $400 per subject per term.
Can tutoring improve my child's university entrance chances?
Tutoring improves university entrance chances where it raises the specific numbers universities use: the ATAR (best four scaled subjects), the UCAT for medicine and dentistry, and interview performance.
