Who is this course for?
Specifically developed for Year 10 students studying Mathematics Advanced (5.3). We will revisit some key core topics and cover the harder and extension topics that were not covered in Year 9. See full list of topics below.
Through this course, we aim to give students an in-depth understanding of the topics and further develop their maths abilities. We will work to strengthen foundational skills, improve critical thinking and problem solving skills, and learn how to synthesise different techniques to excel not only in Stage 5 Mathematics but also for Stage 6 Mathematics!
recommended for students who:
✔ want to improve their maths skills and enjoy a challenge
✔ enjoy interpersonal interactions and in-class discussions in an informal environment
✔ desire the structure and accountability of weekly lessons
✔ appreciate additional support while in class

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Please note the topics listed above are not covered chronologically.
We cannot provide a fixed topic schedule as our topic order is dependent on the students in the class. Because we run small classes with a focus on our students, we sometimes adjust our topic order to help certain students in need of a specific topic first. While there is a general trend in the topic order, please contact us for specific details.
Students who need to learn topics in an unconventional order can consider enrolling in our online course. You will have complete flexibility to determine your own topic order!
-
We offer significant amount of extra support for all our subjects outside of class.
Students needing help with a particular topic, or just needing revision, can start by browsing our large catalogue of online learning videos on HSC101. For extra practice to master relevant concepts, our online homework system offers as much practice as you need with automatic marking and immediate feedback.
For extra help, our tutors can be contacted outside of lesson hours on discord. If you don’t have discord, text/email is also okay! We are always happy to help - whether it's our work, schoolwork or preparation for an assessment!
-
We do not run any specific holiday programs. Y10 Mathematics Advanced will run lessons corresponding to the weeks in the normal school term. Note that our teaching week starts on a Monday and end on a Sunday. If school starts on a Thursday, our Week 1 will start the Monday of that very same week.
-
Not at all! All course material will be provided. Enrolled students will receive a comprehensive set of course notes and extensive workbooks, covering every facet of the course. Students enrolled in relevant subjects will also have access to HSC101, our proprietary online learning platform.
