I'm looking at other tuition centres. What makes Talent 100 different?
There are many places where you can get good tuition for HSC subjects. However, Talent 100 is unique in its approach and expertise in teaching.
Study Smarter, not Harder.
We have a very strong results focus that seeks to maximise ATARs, rather than encouraging you to try score your absolute best in every subject. Whilst this is the conventional wisdom, you only have a limited amount of time to study, and need to pick your battles. Trying indiscriminately to score the best mark in a particular subject can mean understudying the very subjects that will most significantly improve your ATAR. We teach you how the scaling system works properly so you know how to allocate your time efficiently.
Teaching you exactly what you need to know to score top marks.
Our style of teaching is highly results focused. Our system of seminars and tutorials help you develop a deep understanding of the concepts required. We comprehensively cover every single dot point, including practicals and research required in the Sciences which other Tuition Colleges skip. More importantly, our system of teaching is concise and practical. We teach you exactly how to structure your responses to particular question types, with answers written by students who came 1st in the state in that subject. That way you can be sure you know exactly what to write in exams to score full marks.

What is unique about the learning system? How can it help me improve my ATAR?
The Talent 100 learning system is unique in its results-focus and ability to maximise ATARs.
1. On an overall level, by creating a personal study plan that shows you exactly what it takes to score the ATAR you are looking for; 2. On a subject-specific level, through superior expertise and a practical understanding of what it takes to score maximum marks in Physics, Chemistry, Maths and English. This approach allows us to set and achieve the right goals for our students.

How can understanding Scaling help me improve my ATAR?
Through our unique understanding of scaling, we can translate the ATAR that you aiming for into subject-specific goals, i.e. benchmarks and ranks you need to achieve in each particular subject. This ensures that you focus your efforts in a way that is most likely to translate into overall improvement in your ATAR, rather than in a particular subject alone.
For more details on Scaling, and how it affects you, book in for our Free Secrets of the HSC Seminar or our Scaling FAQ.

How does Talent 100 help me improve in each subject?
We help our students to dramatically improve their marks through a two-tier system of teaching.
In our seminars (average 8 students), we familiarise you with the key theory, focusing on building a deep conceptual understanding from first-principles, rather than through memorisation. A Talent 100 Teacher explains the theory, working through typical HSC questions, before allowing you to reinforce what you learnt with further questions.
In an interactive tutorial, a Talent 100 tutor gives directed and individual feedback to you (and up to three other students) if you require help in your school or Talent work.
Overall, the teaching system combines the best of a competitive class environment, with the personal attention and care of having a private tutor.

What's so special about Examination Style homework? Why can't I just do school homework?
Ultimately how well you do in your HSC depends upon how well you are able to perform in exams. Hence, students who are naturally very intelligent but fail to develop good examination technique will often perform worse than those students who are well prepared and have developed perfect examination technique.
Whilst understanding theory forms the basis of learning, we help you score maximum marks by developing perfect exam technique. Our exam-style homework familiarises you with the typical range of HSC questions and tests your ability to perform under pressure. This gives us feedback on the type of mistakes that you make under exam conditions, and allows us to eliminate careless errors.
Our system of homework ensures that sitting exams is literally like doing another piece of homework.

The notes are well structured and guide you through the syllabus in a step-by-step fashion that is easy to understand and follow. They are also comprehensive and designed to make your study time efficient.
